Well, I have read in the wiki that manoeuvers involved the UAC stats ("Delta variable"), even if combat is Melée vs Melée (except if both have Shield Manoeuver).
That mean if I have 100 Melée and 0 UAC, I have nothing to do vs any 100 UAC fighter (or even less). Any moves I perform will totally recharge her attack bar if he use Blood Lust, or +10 IP if Death or Glory, or a very huge cooldown reduction if Combat Meditation...
I'm right or not? If yes, how many UAC stats I need to fight with Melée?
Sorry for my english, I don't know if my post is understandable.
