Perfected Form

Perfected Form is a talent in the Crusher branch of the Windrose Talent System. Reduces the Stamina cost of every two-handed weapon attack. Community consensus: turns two-handed from functionally unusable to sustainable.

Build Role

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.

Math Example

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.

Notes

• Reduces attack Stamina only, not dash or block Stamina. Agile and Flawless Defence cover those cases.

• Stacks multiplicatively with the Flibustier 2P bonus (-20% attack Stamina) if a mixed-set loadout uses both, but that combination is unusual because Flibustier is primarily a one-handed set.
