What is the chivarly role in the game?as a footsoldier, stick to the team and help them as good as possible
Do hybrin (throwing+melee or xbow+melee) work or it's not really good?hybrids work well, as long as you only mix up two classes (for example a shielder/thrower or 2h/pole cav), a mixture of three or more classes mostly ends up in being sorta okay in a lot of disciplines but not really getting any kills in the end
what is the best 2h weapon?phew, that´s a hard one...you could try out longswords/bastard swords if you´re into speed or greatswords if you´re into slow, ranged attacks. Any 2h here that can give me a hand with this question? I´m mostly a xbow :x
Just a couple of tips for fighting one on one:
- Dont back away from the enemy, try to stay within his reach, otherwise you will miscalculate his reach and get hit. Also backing away doesnt do you any good so instead, try to circle the enemy, always strafe to left or right
- Try to be faced forwards to the enemy all the time
- Block until you hear the damn swords colliding! Pay attention to it, most people fall for hold attacks too easily
- Easiest way to get a hit through in the beginning is just holding your attack for a while before releasing it (see the previous tip) and while holding it, try to circle the enemy and make him uncomfortable (you can also wiggle your mouse abit at this point for more efficiency)
- After getting comfortable with the basics, start experimenting with the mechanics, throw your mouse around and switch directions until you find a nice feinting-pattern and then master it (you can watch some duelists to get the idea of what types of feints are effective)
oh spamwhore, just give him ur macros, mine look worse than urs and we both know he won't tell anybody... :PP
I prefere Claymore, decent speed and very strong swing damage.
As already said, stay with the team as long as possible, dont solo-rush, dont stop running (easy target for ranged) and try to play as "a helpful hand" for both surviving and kills/score.
Also, atm I play a STR based Tincan + Great Maul on Eu1, as long as you stay with the group you can be extremly helpfull because Great Mauls can crush through up-blocks/shields. You can tank a lot hits and have good chances to get kills. If you have at least basic blocking skills I would give this class a try.

A good level 35 build for mauler IMO:
24/18
8ps/8if/6wm/6if
all wpf points into polearm
This gives you 4 left over skill points that you could put into throwing/shield/riding whatever tickles your pickle to have some more variety. Throwing would be fun to throw shit at people before you bonk their head, shield is good to be able to block arrows as you advance, riding so you steal peoples horsies(always hilarious).
Some alternate builds:
27/18
9ps/9if/6wm/2ath
More damage, more HP, but slower than the listed build above. With the increased strength you will be able to crush through easier.
24/21
8ps/8if/7wm/3ath
This build will give you the same tankiness/damage of the 24/18 but you'll be able to swing faster with the added Weapon Master. However you'll have slower foot work because of the lower athletics. 24/21 is the general tryhard build nowadays.
Other ones that are fun:
30/12
10ps/10if/4ath/4wm with 4 left over points to put into whatever you feel like, same as below you'll need to time swings well but you're a fucking tank.
36/6
12ps/12if/2ath/2wm with 4 left over. You will swing very slow so you will have to time you swings very correctly.
These are all builds for level 35. If you're new to the game I recommend getting to 35 and then retiring and not trying to get to level 36 until like generation 5+. A great way to get XP is to do strategus battles.
36/6
12ps/12if/2ath/2wm with 4 left over. You will swing very slow so you will have to time you swings very correctly.
iirc you wont have enough wpf in comparison to your PS with 6 agi only (each PS needs some points spend in wpf to get the effective dmg bonus, otherwise you will deal far far less damage), go for 9 at least and you should be fine with nearly maximum damage output.
anyway.
I play as 33/15 on lvl 37 but I believe 30/15 on 35 is pretty much the same (also only 1 HP less than me), only a few STR heros out there who can block my overheads and even when I change to my Claymore 2h (lower server population) I honestly do very well though I really suck at blocking. I could never win a duel against 50% of the server but I guess I found my play style and actually feel more like a supporter than a solo player
But that only counts for 2H. For pole the best dmg u get is with a pierce weapon and a balanced build. If they get full speed bonus (what is actually possible) u will go almost one hit by a normal spear.
also my mercs/vanguards application: Can I join now pls, no photoshop I swer

Is longmaul too bad for 1v1 which can occur with low population?For a starter, yes. I've seen Saint_Joan_of_Arc go 100:10 on duel with just a long maul. Just my opinion though

I dont play polearms but I guess long maul is fine for everything, though slowest weapon ingame? (after rock on stick)
*=sometimes I get killed by looking behind me and running into an enemy in front of me. Don't do that. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
