1111 Perfected Form sits in Tier 1 of the Crusher tree, so it is reachable as soon as a character starts spending talent points there; no earlier node is required to open it. Each of its three ranks costs 1 talent point, for 3 points total to max. Talent points are refundable: a free respec is available, so it is safe to max Perfected Form early and reshuffle later. See Stats and Talents for how points are earned and reset.

2727 Perfected Form is the Stamina-economy backbone for two-handed builds. Without it, two-handed weapons consume the Stamina bar in 2 swings; with it, the same bar supports 4 to 5 swings.

2929 Math Example

3131 A Greatsword heavy attack costs 45 Stamina at rank 0 from a 100-Stamina pool (so 2 swings empty the bar). At rank 3 Perfected Form, the same swing costs 34 Stamina, extending the pool to roughly 3 full swings plus a partial. With Marathon Runner rank 3 (+50 Stamina pool), the same build sits at 150 Stamina and sustains 4 to 5 Greatsword swings before exhausting.

3535 Perfected Form only discounts attack Stamina. Other Stamina drains keep their full cost and need different talents to manage:

4040 Reduces attack Stamina only, not dash or block Stamina. Agile and Flawless Defence cover those cases.Stacks multiplicatively with the Flibustier 2-piece bonus (-20% attack Stamina) if a mixed-set loadout uses both, but that combination is unusual because Flibustier is primarily a one-handed set.
