Title: Polearm Help - 24/15: 8 PS, 5 ATH, 5 WM. What to do with 5 skill points left?
Post by: Keslord on August 30, 2011, 12:34:42 am: Heyo.

My Polearm toon is lvl 30 but i would like advice as to where to sink these last five skill points please.

24/15

137 polearm
61 crossbow

0 IF
8 PS
5 ATH
5 WM

Should I convert them into strength/agility or just put 5 into IF?

Thanks

Post by: MadeForFighting on August 30, 2011, 12:45:15 am: If you want a shield only for advancing (anti-archer protection) - from personal experience I'd say go for 2 points into shield and grab the Plain Board Shield. The normal 3-point Board Shield is just overkill, the Plain shield will almost never break from arrows anyway. Dump the rest into IF. Then again, I see some crossbow there, so I doubt you have any slots left to fit a shield in. Just go for pure IF.

We've been saying WM is a waste for months.

*hint: I just respecced removing all WM from my build on CanYouBLockDown.

Post by: Kafein on August 31, 2011, 03:40:31 pm: For NA fighters, WM is useless. But for EU fighters, WM is still important.

That's really interesting how the communities evolved in radically different ways and keep on diverging.

If you are a dedicated melee or cavalry player and wanna maximize your stats, you get 0 Weapon Master. The difference between 0 and 6 is like 25 points or something horrible like that, its miliseconds. Athletics (or your freaking horse) more then compensates for getting your attacks to hit faster.

Post by: Sammael on August 31, 2011, 10:24:11 pm: I put 5 into riding on my 24/15 build. Works well enough with an arabian warhorse or courser and gives you some variety if you get bored with melee.

Alternatively, if you've decided to stop retiring, I'd do a 27/15 build at 31 and convert those four extra skill points for 9 ps and 1 point for shield or whatever.
