So I've been using this swashbuckling (1h no shield) build on my new alt, Peroch_the_Persian_Pirate:
Lv: 30
Strength:27
Agility:12
One Handed:121
SKL to ATT: 8
Weapon Master:4
Athletics:4
Iron Flesh:6
Power Strike:9
Good mobility, survivability, versatility, and cutting power. Throw in some challenging spiciness, forget about multi, stir well and enjoy.
Using the Arab Cav Sword w/light mail and I've got to say, I like it a LOT. Versatile, challenging, AND effective. Not too expensive too, considering all the other equipment I could be using.
Haven't gotten around to trying out the other long, bomb 1handers (Spathion, NCS, KAS, Para, etc.) but I do enjoy the high cut, useful stab, good speed, and decent length.
"BUT WAIT" you may say, "WHAT ABOUT THE ITALIAN SWORD/LONG ARMING SWORD/SPATHOVAKLION?"
Well, first off, NO, second, too mainstream and I don't like them at all. Well rounded but... They don't particularly "shine" on any aspect compared to other high tier 1handers.
... Oh right, the thread. Please dump suggestions for 1h I should use (BESIDES ITALIAN FALCHION/GROSSES MESSER BECAUSE I KNOW THOSE ARE CLASSIC SWASHBUCKLING SWORDS) and what armor I should use to most closely resemble a Persian/Middle-Eastern pirate of sorts.
Any other build suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Use the arab guard sword, still good reach, good cut and reasonable stab. plus, its higher speed!
the Side sword couuuuld be good
Personally i like agi more and today I retired my 15/24 speedwhore character, much fun, and still does lots of damage because of the speed bonus.
Now im gonna make a 21/18 swash :)
good luck on your adventure as a slow cunt
I felt heskeys wrath with an unloomed stick against my head,

we should get heskey a loomed stick, or a practice sword ( i have that one myself)
