Why is it good to have 16swordsmanship? do i benefit from it? do i do more dmg on regular swings?
how come many skills in this website arent shown in the games.
example:vigorous spirit is suppose to b available in ascalon city but it is not. why is that? (i am war/monk currently)
also when the game launches will there still be a lvl20 cap?
Skill Judge's insight stated that the player will deal holy damage and gain 20% armor penetration for certain amount of time. What does it mean by deal holy damage? I know it means it will deal holy damage but will it increase the dmg output?

The more you have in swordsmanship the higher your damage will be. 12 is the max you can put in an attribute without runes and headgear. At 16 you will do more damage with your sword than at 12, but the increase is not as dramtic as 8 - 12.

When it opens on the 27th expect to see all the skills in the game at trainers. Locations can also change if the devs think a skill should be available later in the game instead of earlier.

Holy damage is another damage type like fire damage, chaos damage, physical damage, etc. Holy damage will do double damage against undead. The increase is damage is only against creatures or armors with a weakness to holy damage.

Well, so does holy damage mean that the physical damage will be converted to holy magic damage? Meaning the armors that have vs.20AL physical wont take effect?
hm....so if the lvl cap is lvl20. They will increase the level cap as they release expansion huh?

Yes. IF you are attacking a warrior that has AL 80 armor +20 vs. physical, before you casted Judge's insight the +20 would be calculated, but after it would ignore that since the damage is not physical anymore.
