Title: Best build for 2h?
Post by: Dishonorable_Rogue on October 05, 2011, 03:59:47 pm
Hello I'm looking for a fast 2h build. Using mainly axes or morningstar. I want to be able to do a hit and run or suppress a shielder without giving him the chance to get an attack in.

Altogether my armour weighs 9.6, is that light enough?

Be warned that this isn't possible against a decent shielder. He will always have time to counter-attack, no matter how high your WPF and weapon speed are.

That being said, having high ath will let you dance out of range of 1h swings. You can then quickly move back in to strike while your opponent's weapon is still moving. This is especially good against short weapons such as the pick and warhammer.

Edit:
You might want a point or two in shield. You are going to find yourself in situations where the enemy team has a lot of ranged. A cheap, light shield can make a huge difference when closing the gap against archers.

Okay thanks for your help guys im seeing a huge difference in my K/D already. One question. What limit should my armour weigh? I'm afraid to go above 10. Right now it's 9.6 .

I guess around 10 is just fine. Best if you just test it yourself. I definitely wouldn't go above 13.

You're better of learning basic blocking (and hiltslashing to spam shielders) and getting a 21/18 ish build with good armor then agi build with light armor. Agi build with light armor requires a lot of battle awareness and blocking skill to do good.

15/24 build with 10 weight armour will give you the ability to outrun most other footmen, which is fun and makes battle a whole different ball game. For pure battle effectiveness (or board topping scores) a build with more str is a lot easier.

I essentially typed the same thing twice, pffft.

Okay thanks for the help. Currently i'm trying out all weapons to see which is best with my class. Trying out different sets of armour too. Hard to find the right stuff ^-^

It takes time, but in the end you should just pick what suits you the most.

This build is OK for what you asked for, but you could hardly spam anyone with morningstar.
