Physical Weapon Expert useless?

Are DPS throwing any points into this? I can't justify it with mighty, piercing, master at arms, etc.

    Well, if you have already hit the jump points on the other things you want and have the passives you want, it wouldn’t hurt, as long as you have enough CP left over to hit the jump point on physical weapon expert. However, with most setups I’ve seen or made there is either no CP left over for this or at most reaching jump point 1 or 2.
    Hey everyone! Look! It's a signature!

    I would guess that in almost all cases it's more beneficial to throw the extra points into Piercing.

    Its normally not needed if you are in group PVE but its very good when you are solo and don't have support e.g Maelstrom Arena.

    funny, I have a build(NB very tanky) relies on this for primary damage coupled with refreshing path, rally(2 Hander) & leeching strikes...a lot of points in healing done and healing received....and I can pretty much go through anything alone.

    at first it took a lot of time to take down enemies, but after you accumulate more CP and better gear...it can be very useful...also for your weaving in of light attacks...

    as said before if you have the points...use 'em.

    Its one of the primary things to throw CP into for werewolves.
    Its also often worth hitting 75 in the atronach for Butcher, since you're already going to be at least 51-64 deep with most non-templar builds in master-at-arms, an extra 11-24 into physical weapons expert is not a lot for a 5% boost to your light attacks during execute (which will be boosted further by bloodthirsty if you're running that trait).

    If you dont mind me asking, why does the value of light attacks increase in solo situations? Because you still weave them during your heal/buff globals?
