Hey Zep, I must not be good with understanding something by just reading it but Ironhawks' guide is really confusing me. Do you think you could help me with some of the calculations?

It says...

In this chart we can see the Reputation point we get each time a weapon skill is used in the combat. Multiply this number with how many time we use that skill, repeat for all skill used in that combat, then we get the Total Reputation from that enemy which is always displayed after we win a combat.

And then...

Example:
In fighting an Undead Grenadier (with a Red level) we use these skills:
Cutlass:
- Hack+Slash+Cleave+Flourish (4x)
- Sweep (2x)
- Brawl (1x)

From the chart we can calculate the Reputation point (assuming every skill didn't miss)
Cutlass:
- (1+2+2+4) x 4 = 36
- 2 x 2 = 4
- 5 x 1 = 5

I'm guessing the X 4 came from using the Hack+Slash+Cleave+Flourish but I don't get where the two 2s came from. Does that mean the sweep skill was used twice?
Also, where did the 2 X 2 and 5 X 1 come from? I'm not bad at math, but I have no idea where these numbers came from.

I realize that many people think the guide is great, but I just don't understand it right now.
