Will this work? If i put a point into dual wield so i can gain access to the alacrity skill.. will it increase my 2 handers attack speed or does it only work for dual wield?

Works for all melee attacks.

I use it to increase the speed of my sword/shield build.

Highly Recommended

(hmm I appear to spend my time putting odd little posts on the end of answered threads...oh well)

I think that putting alacricity on a 2h is awesome and have done it myself to devastating effect)

Is it the same with BLEED and ranged characters?
Does this skill work for both cross/bow and thrown? I mean this skill seems to be for thrown weapons only...
Thanks .)

Bleed only works with thrown weapons.

That's what the description says SWC, but I ran a test after reading BRKO's question and it seemed to work for my bow as much as it did for a knife. I'll continue to moniter it, only tried for a short time so far.

There's nothing as bugged as the skills in DS2. With an incantation shrine and a chant of fighter power, you can first use the elemental rage, and then use brutal attack or waves of force. I find it to be much more efficient that the elemental rage alone.

And I do belive bleed works with bows/crossbows.
