Shattered Kingdoms

Can one only improve at this skills after they've mastered the Parry skill?

This is true.

This is false.

EDIT: Oh, and here's why. Using a sword against something that punches, you'll notice you parry bare fists sometimes. That trains enhanced parry. Now, using a sword against another sword wielder, you will not be training enhanced parry unless normal parry is mastered.

EDIT 2: Just remembered out of nowhere, some weapons can only be parried using enhanced parry, so those will train enhanced parry no matter your parry skill as well.

This is true. (for stated reason)

I'm..almost positive you can't get improves at EParry until you master Parry.

I usually master PARRY on my characters by parrying bare fists while leveling(Generally in the Chancel). And after that, I finally start getting improves to EParry.

It has been a while since I played my swashie, but I also seem to recall not getting any improvements to eparry til I mastered parry. I suppose though this could have changed.

Maybe an Imm can weigh in on it?

I can say with 100% confidence that has changed, and it is working exactly as j3r3myp1pp3n has mentioned in his edits.

Logs or it didn't happen.

I'm willing to bet that rodwen and the_me are wrong, even though i've never played a class with eparry. Produce a log in which a character improves at eparry, then types skill, and does not have parry mastered.

I'll dig through mine monday when I get back to my SK machine, I am sure I actually have one where both improved during one combat.

Did you have parry mastered after that fight?
