I used the following build 2 generations ago. Incredibly fun and frighteningly effective! Having the ability to change weapons, switching them, picking up other weapons or shields from the ground, stealing a horse, basically using EVERYTHING is VERY few and mindfucks a lot of your enemies. Especially switching between 2handing, then halfswording, then suddenly changing to your shield&mace, midfight puts a lot of enemies into a "wtf" mode, making do mistakes.
Also: Looter playing. Spawn with a cheap, ok-ish weapon, pick up/steal whatever you find (prioritize +3 stuff) and you will always find new and entertaining roles to play. Requires above average strategical sense of you, btw, as you need to figure out by the situation, wether you should take the pike, greatsword, sword, steal the horse or whatever. But if you can read the situation right, and what your teammates need right now, you can be a VERY good addition to your team. Cav raping? Take a long-spear/pike (remember to pick up any 1-slot weapons you find/kill), HA annoying your team? Go hoplite. You and your team is doing good, but OH NOES, camping archers! Pick up that shield from the shielder you just killed and teach them a lesson! Seriously, this build is FUN!(click to show/hide)
I have to say, this does sound like a really fun build. Jack of All Trades, and since melee doesn't need more than 100 WPF anyhow for the most part, you can be Semi-Master of all!It is. I say everyone should try this at least once. Be it with your main, alt or STF. It really is fun to be able to pick up any melee weapon (apart from Great Maul) and be able to use it to it's fullest (apart from crushtrough in general), while also have the option of taking any shield or horse too. The looter play-style is really entertaining. Also, you know when you fight someone with a "omfg OP weapon!"? Now you can pick that up after you or your allies kill him and you can see how "OP" it really is. This is why I have stopped complaining about some weapons and start complaining about others. Some weapons just are really too easy to use.
