Title: 2H build
Post by: Pinx0 on March 01, 2011, 09:03:01 am
Ok so I'm considering a few differences for my build and don't know which one would be the best:

(click to show/hide)

Which one would you choose? Should I wear a shield in the back for aproaching throwers and archers? As weapon I'll use the Danish Greatsword and some xbow.

It all actually depends on what you want to do. But these are all balanced builds that you posted, so it doesn't really matter. Anything 18-21/18-21 is pretty much a balanced build.

but seeing you have Spartacus for avatar you should go for DUAL GLADIUS WIELDING GLADIATOR SLICING WIMEN SEXTING BUILD.

well, seems like you are building a hybrid. in your case i would go for more wpf in xbow and an agi build for more wpf to distribute between the two.

im doing the same xbow/2h or polearm (havent decided yet) build, and my focus will be on xbow so im going 15/24 agi with 8wm and 150+ in xbow and 100+ i 2h/pole.

so if you wanna be more of a meleeist and have your xbow to spam ranged ppl go for str, but if you wanna be more ranged oriented go for agi just for the wpf.

and anyways 5ps or 6ps nowdays will 2 hit anybody, 7ps is a bit more powerfull.

hope this helped  8-)

Can someone answer this?

Shield on the back only reduces damage from being shot at from behind. It slows you down too, and, depending on the shield, blocks your vision.

I mean to wear it (with no weapon) in order to get close to a thrower/archer

Your choice. Some prefer dodging/not wasting points in shield, or just getting heavier armor.

Either heavier armor or just buy a cheap shield. Lvl 0 Wooden Shield takes like 3 arrows before it breaks.

Except sometimes the arrows go through the shield.

Yeah, level 0 shields are useless. Every competent archer will shoot through. If you find yourself to have like 2 spare skill points, just put it into a shields. Whenever you then see is shit load of throwers/archers, just grab a plain board shield (or something lighter, though board shield has the highest HP).

Well since he's going for mainly 2H, there wouldn't be any points left over for that.

I wear a the Leather Covered Round Shield (skill 1) on my main and i feel naked without it.
Most of the time I dodge ranged projectile, i take it out only when i'm being specifically targeted in a large group so that archer stop aiming at me. I also take it out when on difficult terrain where i can't dodge.

But that s not the reason i like it, i love this little shield because of it's 20 armor that combine in some way with my usual 54 body armor. When i get hit in the back most of the time it's painless, you're pretty happy when you take a javelin in the back and you hp drop by 1/15 or when you take a arrow and you can't even tell if you lost some HP. 

1skill point in shield plus this shield is so much more rewarding in my experience than 1 iron flesh.

You can always save some points somewhere, weapon master doesnt need to be higher than 4-5 for pure 2h, you can strip one point of IF, as 2 hp will barely make any difference, and you already have 2-3 points to spend.

I like those light armor ninja builds, it means they will die in one shot from my crossbow, making me look badass on the scoreboard.
