I would use Flamberge. And hm... maybe some maul/hammer for amazing crush through on shielders? I want to scary people, even tho i will surely die fast, i want simply kill as much people i can in few hits. As a main weapon I want ONLY Flamberge. Is it a good build if i have medium manual block?
Discuss and give me tips.
-
I would recommend going pure IF and PS. You don't need weapon master or athletics..
-
I do need some WPF, believe me, wpfs are decreasing width of dmg. SO instead lets say 20-70, i would have 40-75.
-
IMHO melee without athletics is not good. Any decent player will just dance around you, and as soon as he is close a few swings of a AGI 18 char with 150 wpf will be the end of you.
-
For some reason this build screams tk...
Do you really need that much PS to kill someone in one hit with a flam? I can kill a lot of people in one hit with just 9 PS and a 1h weapon..
-
I run around with 0 athletics and do fine. I also have 0 wpm, and I have 89 2h and 75 throwing.
-
If by "scare people" you mean "make people fall over laughing when they see my slow-as-shit build that dies to a peasant" then yes, that's an excellent build.
For a real Flamberge build, go balanced.
-
This build screams "spammed by a steel pick" or "spammed by a katana", imo.
-
I'd say get some more agility, flamberge's speed needs to be boosted by agi/weaponmaster and you need the athletics to move around.
-
Ultimate and Flamberge shouldn't be used in the same sentence together so your build failed already.
Go with a more balanced str/agi, pure str build for flamberge is pointless. Or just go with a crushthrough weapon and use overheads.
-
I did something similar with a Barmace character. The damage is nice but it's too slow.
-
Do you really need that much strength? I haven't checked, but with a high damage weapon like the flamberge, isn't there a point (PS 8/9 surely?) where you'll kill anybody with one hit? If so, and if you've gone beyond it, then you're just wasting attribute & skill points; you're making yourself slower for no good reason.
-
I have personally played with a 9 agi build and with a faster weapon than the flamberge (nodachi). It was still too slow. Go for 12 agi at least, maybe 15. Also 0 IF on a str build is bad, you will get hit because you're so slow, str characters need hp and good armor to do well.
Xant he doesn't want a balanced character, but a str one. Balanced is a different category, as would an agi stacker be.
-
For medium manual block skills? Maybe. That really depends, the more strength and less Athletics you have, the more manual block matters. In a strength only build chambers begin to matter a lot. You should be fine with that build with some more blocking practice.
If your manual block is not Reliable enough to at least last you 15 seconds vs 1 guy spamming, I recommend a higher agility build as they say. You get more openings and footwork combined with flamberge's extremely ...flamboyant... range. Range + footwork & speed makes it ridiculous.
p.s. Don't convert that many points. 10 ps + 6 more IF > 11 PS. Every time. 14 converted is WAY too many unless you are an extreme gimmick build joke.
