Does it make sense to keep Pump Operator above legendary+5 ?
« on: April 09, 2012, 11:21:58 am »
I want to use Pump Operation for corss-training attributes. Does it make sense to keep it enabled when it hits legendary+5? Do attribute gains keep going / accelerate / slow down after that?

skill levels and attributes are capped since DF2010.

OK, let me rephrase that. I know attributes won't increase above 5k and twice their starting value (I think). I just want to train them up to these caps. Will a Legendary+5 pump operator still train uncapped attributes? If so, is it better to switch to another skill, such as smoothing stone?

ah, now that is a nuanced question, and I don't know.

I'm 99% sure your better off switching to another skill for "faster" improvement. Pump Operation will only bump up strength, endurance, and toughness. And someone did a test but it was only 3 points or so to "skilled". If you want agility, or focus or something else, pick a skill with those.

Its also been noted that actual combat skill training seem to have a bigger impact on those "important" attributes then the skills like pump operating now.
