Solid Builds

Yes, you can spread the weapon points between polearms and two handed to be able to use both, it's a good option.

I have a Skip the Fun character from a couple years ago.  I am 18 Str 21 Agil for 7 riding and 1 point left over.  So should I convert that to skills?

You can do that if you want to use shields as well, so that you would end up with this build:

Code: [Select]

Level:           35

Strength:        18
Agility:         21

Attr to skill:    1

Ironflash:        6
Power Strike:     6
Shield:           5
Athletics:        7
Riding:           7
Weapon Master:    7

But what I would suggest to do is to convert 4 more skillpoint into 2 attributes and make this:

Code: [Select]

Level:           35

Strength:        21
Agility:         21

Skill to attr:    4

Ironflash:        4
Power Strike:     7
Athletics:        7
Riding:           7
Weapon Master:    7

Ironflesh isn't as important for Cav since you usually won't be spamming attacks, therefore making the WPF help IF gives not as useful as, say, PS or Riding. It's always good to invest a little bit, though.

I never played a ranged build before on crpg. What would a xbow build look like. With maybe a 2hander back up?

Here http://forum.melee.org/guides/crossbowery-basics-and-tricks/ , a bit outdated but give enough knowledge to make your own build.

Hello, does anyone have a good 2h or polearm build?? + a preferable weapon

[chesterotab]

24/18 level 34 2h is super easy to play. bust out a miaodao for massive damage and to compensate for being slightly slower than a lot of players.

8PS
8IF
6ATH
6WM
1shield but dont always bring one
155 2h wpf

so relaxing being able to charge in and kill everyone. tons of hp so you can afford to just mess around and attempt chambers all the time. I would recommend medium-heavy armor if you want to be chamber-happy as well as forcing glances for the 8PS miaodao punish.

[AwesomeHail]

sorta crazy build, but Im going for 18/24 1h/pole/throw shielder, and I'm going to level an alt for cav. any cav ideas? (1h/pole)

Planning build for 1h/pole/throw shielder

Level: 35
Health Points: 53
Weapon Proficiency Points: 1

Strength: 18
Agility: 24

One Handed: 130 / 115
Polearm: 130 / 115
Throwing: 100

Power Strike: 6
Shield: 4
Athletics: 8
Power Throw: 6
Weapon Master: 8

I'm gen 16 now, so maybe ill get to 36 as i did before. or maybe even get to 37 in the end.

for the record, I really like agi and 18 str seems enough for me.

I almost always wear a +3 medium body armor (12.2 wt) with +3 chain (0.7 wt.) gloves, and some +0 medium (1-3 wt.) boots/helm.

I used a +1 Long Axe* polearm with a 27/15 build almost identical to this quote [up till 35/retirement],
 and it wasn't bad... I think I had 8 ironflesh instead of 9 like Pepe, and only 5 ath/wm, so 134-139ish in pole.
*(97+1 speed, 115 length, 41+1 cut swing, 24+1 cut thrust)

Now, since I still can't use the Katzbalger, I'm considering a similar 2h build,
but maybe I need more speed from skills to go with the relatively short, slow +3 two-handers? (+3 Danish GS and +3 Mallet I already have too).
If I lose some iron flesh or something, can I make a 27/18 with 9 PS, 6 ath, 6 wm happen at level 34?
Will it be any good, and if so, with which weapons mainly?

[AwesomeHail]

You should just try your build on a STF character. have the same specs as lvl 34, so leave 1 skill point and 1 attribute point.

27/18 sure is viable, but youll be slower, thus outspammed/outfootworked by the better players:)

[Leshma]

Better player will do that anyway, regardless of build. Imho, 6 ATH is enough. I'm 5 ATH shielder in light armor and can't say I am moving slow. And only get spammed when I fuck up.

Again, footwork isn't s key action with 8+ ATH builds. Footwork is when you hit first such char with a lot less acceleration than him and with a shorter weapon. Or avoiding/dodging hits, that would be good footwork.

24 str / 18 agi build for 2h @ level 34 works now?

I would 24/21 but yes, should be a good build. good enough...
