Title: Long maul build?
Post by: Ozwan on September 29, 2011, 02:45:20 am

So, uh, I want to try something new on my alt and I thought of polearm crusher since I havent played it before. What build would you recommend to have reasonable chance to crushtrough against turtles and still be relatively agile?

This is what I thought about:

    Hit points: 69

    Skills to attributes: 8

    Ironflesh: 5

    Shield: 0
    Athletics: 5
    Riding: 0
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 5

    One Handed: 1
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 146
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1[/quote]

You nailed it.

(but greatmaul does it 10x more effectively)

^ this. The great maul is WAY better than the long maul.

I use 27str/15agi 9ps 5ath 3wm on my long maul build.  Crushes through the majority of shields in the first attempt but I haven't played that alt since this patch.  Long Maul is more of a support weapon where the Great Maul you can use like a Morningstar.  I've had a lot of fun standing behind a shielder teammate and crushing through everyone he delays while holding a ladder on siege.

The main strength of a long maul. Got some more reach, so it's easier to crush stuff blocked by teammates. Main use of the thing is during sieges imo.

(Does anyone remember the boulder on a stick defense of Uxhall?)

24 strength 8 PS is minium, otherwise your overhead will be blocked to often and you end up dead. I play 24/18 with 2xloomed long maul so 0,5kg more weight and I am usually doing very well  :mrgreen:
