Ive been doing 1h shield my first gen and it's been pretty fun but I envy the speed and power of a 2h and the range of a polearm.
My ping is always between 85-100 is it safe to say that I should steer away from 2h and polearms?
-
No. I'd say it's still possible. Just favour the longer weapons and you'll be fine.
-
Should I go for a more ath build so i can dart in and out better since im slower or more towards a strength build so i can take the inevitable hits. I was thinking a 27 12 build
-
27/12 sounds about right. Essentially, you won't be punished as much by the mistakes that your higher ping will encourage. Though I should note that it's not bad. Blocking is still very possible, as is chambering. In fact, a lot of great manual blockers who often employ chambers have that ping. You just can't take chances that rely on you hitting first.
-
I would recommend avoiding slow or short ranged weapons. 100ms isn't absurd for blocking but it won't do you any favors for timing. A good spammable weapon like the bec or a greatsword will do well if you backpeddle. With weapons like the flamberge or the swiss poleaxe, you will probably have problems if they are able to get in your face.

I like the bec but wouldnt you describe it as pretty slow at 93? I think Ill heirloom my sidesword for my first since you cant go wrong with a sidesword and I know 1h will work out for me if 2h or polearm doesnt.

*faceplam* long weapons... the Bec is around 1h swords length, polearms get a - length from the grip. Be more ambitious.

I get the same exact ping
California also?
im a Cavalry and 1h
its tough with a short weapon but you adjust
-
Lately my ping hardly drops below 100 on EU servers and I do just fine with blocking. You just have to react 0,1 sec faster than on SP :)
-
nah im stuck in the horrible state of WA. Probably move to the east coast at some point and ping will be way better.

With a 27 12 build I should be going for a medium set of armor anything full mail maybe max of 12 weight on the chest?
-
I always played with 80-100 ping and it's good tough on 100+ at least for me blocks/attacks start to change position alone but I usually have a stable ping on 80 when I'm playing.

I personally prefer the 5k-10k armours, but the sub-plate armours work, too.

Go polearms, grab a Long Hafted Blade and enjoy.

I would avoid playing as 1h and archers your timing on 1h will kill you.
2h and polearms should be good.
if you get alot of high lagspikes i might try cav.
i did that once when i was having internet issues and when i started to spike i would ride away; saved me from many lagdeaths
my guess would be that builds with some points in iron flesh would be beneficial as it is harder to block every strike.

I myself live in WA. If you see me in-game I do play 1h/shielder. I just play it, because I love the playstyle. My ping is usually 65-80 though instead of yours to 100. You could try using Polearms. The long hafted spike mace is a great polearm, has the power, the moderate range, and it's pretty fast if you go into your swings. Just try to practice blocking and such. Myself I can decently, block but sometimes my ping does spike for some reason. My preferred build for a Polearm is 21/15 or 24/15 if you want to convert points.
-
100 ping is fine to use any playstyle; I personally use a longsword and I do fine. I have 100-120 ping on these shitty servers and I still manage to usually be at the top of the scoreboard. I also don't have any looms or any of that shit, so I can tell you that I am not crutching like some of these baddies. It's most certainly more challenging to play at 100 ping (I do leagues better on the 40 ping west coast servers), but it's more than possible to be a superb player if you are not terrible.

The "quality" of NA players is so low so that even you can manage to be on top of the scoreboard there.
With a high ping you cant beat a good player with a good (low) ping in a "fair" 1 vs 1, its that simple, so you have to play "sneaky", be "aware".
Cavalry is great, you can "train" the delay.
Even easier is 2h. Hide & rape, works with every ping. And when you are forced to fight "fair", well, 2h is so overpowered that almost "compensates" your shitty internet connection so that you will be able to kill most shielders and polearms.
Poleaxe spam is imo boring and totally mindless, but its very effective.
Another option would be ranger. Ranger can be done, even with high ping. Once I shot a guy, and about five seconds later I saw him dying. lol (Of course this only works against non-moving targets).

Are you calling me a bad player?
