Title: Polearm build help
Post by: Frank on October 02, 2011, 06:22:35 pm

Hey guys, I have many accounts. Sword+Shield, 2hander, Spear+Shield and another I cannot remember. Basically, I am growing bored. I want a new build, a polearm one, and wish to use a pike.

So basically I am asking for a good build for a pikeman (I would need a backup wep of course) for a semi-noob.

Thx.

Poleaxe as backup, or Long Hafted Mace for the lulz.

24/15 8PS 5IF 5ATHL 5WM. The WM is enough to swing decently even with average timing, and it will allow you to afford the poleaxe without breaking the bank on constant repairs. Wear a lot of armour.

Go nuts.

Alternatively, go 15/24 5PS 2IF 8WM 8ATHL and the backup weapon is an Iron Staff. Wear very little armour.

24/15 is a good build if you wear a light/mail armour. For heavy/heavy light you can try 21/18, with 5 WM 6 Athletics

15/21 for mobility and thrust speed. The ability to zip into a cav's path to rear their horse, or to zip in and out of team battles to support is priceless. If you really want, you can also go 15-24 for even FASTER ZIPPING. As for a side arm, I'm very partial to the War spear to the point that I've masterworked it 2 or 3 times now.
