Title: 18/24 HA build
Post by: Havoco on February 28, 2012, 08:01:29 am
how does this build sound for an HA?

Level 31 (8 892 403 xp)

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 24
    Hit points: 53

    Skills to attributes: 12

    Ironflesh: 0
    Power Strike: 0
    Shield: 0
    Athletics: 0
    Riding: 6
    Horse Archery: 4
    Power Draw: 6
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 4

    One Handed: 50
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 130
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

I want 6 pd definately for strat purposes and 4 HA. I dont see anything else I could do with both. Do you veteran HA think this would work or not?

The build might be pretty good at 33, but damn man that's going to take a while to actually flesh that build out to be good. Also, I'd only do HA if you have MW bows and arrows already.

If you're commited to levleing up and staying at a high level, it would be a damn good HA build.
If you aren't, do a normal HA build like: 15-24, 18-18, 21-18, (or even 27/12, my personal favorite level 30 Ha, but who am i!? Go 15/24 like every other ha ^_^)

If you were to follow this advice, I would recommend doing this build at level 31:

Level 31 (8 892 403 xp)
Strength: 18
Agility: 21
Hit points: 53
Unused skill points: 3
Skills to attributes: 6
Ironflesh: 0
Power Strike: 0
Shield: 0
Athletics: 0
Riding: 7
Horse Archery: 3
Power Draw: 6
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 7
One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 1
Polearm: 1
Archery: 164
Crossbow: 1
Throwing: 1

As you level get to level 33, you can complete the build as posted by marathon.

Hope this helps :)

Hmm. I may need to create an STF HA before i try this on my main. As a normal archer i always found ~150 wpf was good enough but it seems everyone uses above 160 for HA.

Dunno what horse you will be using, but riding 6 is low for a HA (one hit where pretty much dead)
Also 50 wpf in one hander without PS is not so usefull, maybe for an unaware peasant?

but then again its personel, and depends what you want to do with it.

if i put anything into one hander, itll be when i feel i have enough wpf into archery. but that probably wont happen until i hit lvl 32 at least.

Don't put any into 1h. You don't need to. Especially assuming since you'll be on horseback.

I have done tons of HA builds and had fun with all of them. don't listen to people who tell you tell you that a certain way is the "right way" to make them.
The build you posted would certainly work.
some advantages and weaknesses would be:
Pro
good damage and able to shoot effectively while moving fast because of the 4HA
would be a good body shot build.

Cons
low riding and wpf.
6riding isn't too bad but you are probobly going to be dehorsed alot with this build. and with no ps or ath you will be a sitting duck on the ground.

This build really begs for more levels. it seems a waste to have that many points in agi and not getting more wm and riding.

if you want 6pd i would rather drop the 4ha to have more skill points available.

I had lots of fun with this build
level 30 
18/18 build
