Solid Builds

[Cyclopsided]

Right now I am trying out pole build 30/12, 10PS, 4Ath, 3 WM (130wpf), and I am very satisfied. 65 hp is enough, and since I am lvl 28, even 9PS work like a charm, especially with pierce weapons.

Glad to hear it! Probably one of the best melee builds.

Anyone know a good master of arms build? I've seen Diggles use it. I don't understand how he has enough points in any given category.

Diggles uses an 18/15 build.

I tried it out once and it's a lot of fun.
It looks like this:

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 15
    Hit points: 63

    Attributes to skills: 2

    Ironflesh: 5
    Power Strike: 6
    Shield: 4
    Athletics: 5
    Riding: 5
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 5
    Weapon Master: 5

    One Handed: 110
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 113

Thinkig about that hybrid, skimmed trhough tread but didn't find it

Planning to use 2 sets of equipment:
Medium (35-40) armor, round or board shield, warhammer (or maybe some pick or mace) and xbow, with possibility to grab 2-slot shield and go without ranged,
Light (15-25) armor or maybe even jsut clothes, arbalest and some lighter melee wep.
Is 144 wep enough for arbalest? I know that 170-ish is better, but really would like to have ability to go melee once in a while..

    * Strength: 15
    * Agility: 21
    * Hit points: 56

    * Skills to attributes: 2

    * Ironflesh: 3
    * Power Strike: 5
    * Shield: 7
    * Athletics: 7
    * Riding: 0
    * Horse Archery: 0
    * Power Draw: 0
    * Power Throw: 0
    * Weapon Master: 7

    * One Handed: 100
    * Two Handed: 1
    * Polearm: 1
    * Archery: 1
    * Crossbow: 144
    * Throwing: 1

144 isn't enough to have full accuracy with arbalest. It is enough for xbow, though. It'll work for arbalest, just don't expect long range shots to hit often.
Yeah, that looks like a fun and perfectly valid Xbow/1h+shield hybrid.

Pure thrower.

Any ideas?

I mean, pure thrower. Not one of the other over 9000 hybrid builds.

[Spawny]

I use:

21/18

4 PS
6 Ath
7 PT
6 WM

154 throwing wpf

Pretty awesome aim, decent footspeed and you can wear medium armour without risking a penalty to PT.
Combined with heavy throwing axes or jarids this will pack a punch.
The 4 PS can be switched out for 4 IF, but I like being able to do some damage with my axes in melee mode and not be completely defenseless in melee.

How kind of you!

Could you please post a screenshot of how accurate you are with:

- Darts (if you have them)
- War Darts (if you have them)
- Jarids
- Axes (whichever you have)

?

I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance.

It's very fun to play for anyone who can manual block well. This is definitely not a tank build, due to the lack of ironflesh.
You do high damage, run, and attack at a very reliable speed. It sacrifices defense for attack, and so you should try to stay with and behind allies, stabbing any open enemies, and backpedalling if you get too close.
But like I said; if you're confident in your manual blocking skills, and smart against whom you fight, and when, then this is the ultimate 2h Polearm build.
It takes skill, is cheap(in multiple ways), and great for dueling.

Glad to hear it! Probably one of the best melee builds.

True! I tried 18/21, 21/18, 18/24 and 24/18 builds, but this one is best by far! Long Maul, HL Bardiche, Pike and Poleaxe, they all work wonderfully, and I have so much fun!

[Mlekce]

pure 1h build? Lvl 30

[Cyclopsided]

pure 1h build? Lvl 30

"pure 1h" is indeterminate, so You'll have to elaborate what you mean.
With shield? With WM?
I have the typical With shield & weapon master builds like 24/15 , 21/15, 18/18, etc in this thread.
Or by Pure 1h do you mean No shield / wm? If so, follow a 2h build but put points in 1h.
I personally don't get weapon master on pure melee characters anymore. Let's me put those points elsewhere (riding/IF/ maybe more stats)
 If I know what you WANT to do, I can build a few builds around that.

[Mlekce]

eh actualy pure meaned that i will just stick to 1h and shield,no throwing,riding and that stuff.

i planned 18/18 with shield,if,ps,athl 6 and wm 5,but i am afraid that this is too weak. 5ps is too weak,i have mw weapon but i need 4-6 hits to kill someone.
my current stats are 17/15
shield,ps,if,athl,wm all 5. Tis is too slow,and too weak.
