Help on warfare skills and their mechanics

Hi, I've just started to play Titan Quest. My first carachter (warfare mastery) born as dual wielder but I've put it back to one sword and a shield.

I have some questions about the warfare skills and their mechanics:

1) Standard: +1 to all skills, what happens if I am already to 6/6, ther's a 7? Where may I find its stats?
2) Triumph works only if I use the standard?
3) Assuming 2) it's true, does triumph effect "kicks in" as soon as the standard is planted or only "Seeing the inevitability of your triumph..." i.e. when the enemy is almost defeated?
4) Ignore Pain, Hamstring and Ardor requires onslaught actualy charged (glow around the char)? Does their effect change with the onslaught current charged level (1,2,3... glow circles) or it's an on/off bonus (and when is it activated)?
5) Does really Hamstring require to "aim to the legs"?!?
6) War wind: -25% or 25 absolute points of damage?
7) Lacerate is 1 or 2 target and it adds, so you get 5 or 6 targets in war wind?
8) Lacerate effect is for all the targets of war wind or just 1 or 2 of them?
9) Finally, what DPS for a sword/shield char at its highest levels should be expected? I ask this to understand how much a 80 damage in a 8/8 skill is worth.

THANK YOU!!!

1) yes there is a 7 level, with the right equipment you can get up to +4 to all skills.

4) yes it requires that onslaught is charged, there effect do not change with onslaught at one charge level they are on.

5) no.

6) -25% avarege damage, at the max level it gives +10% damage, a mean skill.

7) it adds 3 so you can hit 10 targets when it is maxed along with war wind.

8) it effects all the targets, but Lacerate only works if you have at least one axe or sword equipped.

9) DPS is you damage per second my char do 5183 dps, the 80 damage is important because you will get alot of equipment that will give you +% damage so you need as much base damage as you can get.

2) its a synergy of standard and only works with standard.

3) it works always when you have standard up not just at enemy defeat
