Why spend weeks to get an extra little 2%?

Because I'm better than you. I have the level V specializations to prove it.

When you lose your ship vs someone with 2% hull left you'll understand why.

Wait, most of the time I either get ganked or gank somebody.
Do you really find those scenarios?

Because with over 100M SP, what the hell am I supposed to train?

Really?

Give me a break

Do like I'm doing atm. Train entire skill blocks to level V. Ships is going to take a long time. But corp / trade / PI / leadership and Navigation arent too bad. Oh and the sub systems.

Well then shouldn't you be telling us why you trained them rather than asking?

Orr did you just buy the character hoping for pwn?

If fighting is your business then you need it, because almost everyone trains them to the level 3 and 4.

Having permanently 2% more damage from skills means one can cut the cost of losses not only by doing more damage and winning more often, but by reducing the actual cost of losses while staying competitive. 2% more damage from skills allows you to use the cheaper 3% damage implants over the expensive 5% implants. The difference between a single T2 damage mod and a faction damage mod (mag stabs, heat sinks, gyros) is also only a 3%.

The difference between a win or a loss in PVP is almost never about 2% tank or dps or whatever because pvp is about strategy, tactics and intel. Getting those spec skills to 5 only make a modicum of sense if you seriously have nothing better to train but that doesn't happen very often.

Actually it happens all the time when competent pilots are involved. By that I mean correct and intelligent decisions have been made by both sides and advantage has not been gained.

At that point it boils down to 2 things:

Personal skills (by far the most important).
Cumulative trained skills (that extra 2% IN A NUMBER OF AREA's that cunulatively add up to a noticable advantage.)

IE: When you do 2% more damage AND fire 2% faster AND 2% more accurately AND 2% longer range AND 2% better resists, etc.

So how often does one run into competent pilots...

So how often does one run into competent pilots, apart from that strategy is rock paper scissors, if you have the better strategy/counter you'll win :)

Actually that is kind of nonsense. Theoretically does every percent count, but practically does the randomness of the damage make up a large part of winning and losing. The remaining 2% of a hull is just very little when in a 1v1 someone lands a wrecking hit and the other does not.

So it makes sense to train those extra 2% for theoretical reasons, but not because you lost a fight and the other guy got away with only 2% hull left. These cases will continue to happen, with or without extra 2% of damage.

Because when you get old in EvE it's annoying to not see a fully completed skill tree section when you look at it.

It's only nonsense if you don't fight very often.
Practically every percent DOES count. Pfft "theoretical".
You only notice it on average though.
2% more damage means you win a couple more closely matched fights out of 100.
That's an extra couple of ships that I don't have to waste time replacing.

Hold on for one second. This 2% you speak of is actually 2% per level. So that is actually 10%. If your asking should I train from level 4 to 5 then you'd have more of a point, although I'd still say train it if your serious. I still think the OP has got to be a troll.

Yes... when you leave the safety of your blob and engage people on your own you get that a lot.

Pfft "theoretical".
