Melee training with high encumbrance

[fishy1234555]

I was out in a field with 2 vests, 2 backpacks, and a jacket knifing a dog for hours without hitting it. I just wanted to stab the little bastard because he wouldn’t stop following me. So I swung my combat knife at him viciously until it became dark. I then checked my skill levels to see that they had raised significantly. I have level 5 melee in a little over a day with 10 kills. Half of which are dogs that decided to jump me when I opened a barn pulley. Anyway I know my encumbrance is what wouldn’t allow me to hit it. My point is the fact that I didn’t hit it allowed me to lvl rapidly on a neutral creature without damaging it, essentially making it so I can speed train faster than reading in multiple skills even. So what is everyones opinion on this?

[size=1pt]note: When i kill the dogs i butcher them and (t)hrow all their pieces in different direction.[/size]
[size=1pt]note: Then i drink so much that i vomit all over their butcher site.[/size]

Also a tip for people that are missing too much, throw rocks at them, litteraly. Rocks are common and unfalible weapons, altough you might just get 9-7 dmg you will allways hit them when close.

You could do the same with your dodge skill and a black rat, sadly they are not as common than before…

Of course, if you want to increase your melee skills and one of the melee weapon specialties, this does not help you
