Thats quite a good build mate, the only thing I would change due to personal preference, would get athletics to 5 by lowering your iron flesh a bit. But as I said, don't worry it is still decent for your first character ^^

1st gen advice:  dont throw first generation. max out athletics and only put WPF into 1 weapon line

Try 21 STR /15 AGI next time. In fights the extra power strike is more important than 15 or so points of weapon mastery especially with a slashing weapon like a nordic champ sword.

Also don't plan for a level 31 build, plan for level 30, since you're most likely going to retire at 31.

Like others said, as an infantry player you're going to want to max out your athletics for as much agility as you have.  And you're going to want more strength than agility (at least IMO).  Having 15 agility is nice for infantry, 5 athletics and 6 is pretty close and not going to make or break your livelihood.  And having that 1 more weapon master isn't going to be a huge difference either.  However having 7 (or higher) power strike will certainly come in handy.  Athletics is important, but iron flesh is a throw-away skill and would only put skills into it if you have leftovers. 


For melee/infantrymen I'd say that strength is more important than agility (but wouldn't stack all in strength, you want AT LEAST 3 athletics/9 agility).  I'd suggest at minimum go with 12 agility/3 athletics, and my preferred build would have 15 agility/5 athletics.

thank you guys,

but if i should make a build until lvl 30, than i only come to 20 / 15 and not 21 / 15. so where is my fault in calculation?

cheers, bambak

Use this to plan your build: http://infinitum.dyndns.org/crpg/calc.htm

Convert skills to stats to get you build how you want it at 30. It takes the same amount of time to get from 30-31 as it does all the way from 1-30, and then you will probably retire.

If you're already 30 then not much you can do, just play until 31 and retire, or respec

I'm not an expert in throwing builds, but as an example for 21/15 maybe:

(click to show/hide)

    Strength: 21
    Agility: 15
    Hit points: 56

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Ironflesh: 0
    Power Strike: 7
    Shield: 5
    Athletics: 5
    Riding: 0
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 7
    Weapon Master: 5

    One Handed: 124
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 100

you can only do skills to attribute at the lvl1 peasant?

Title: Re: am i on the right way?
Post by: Grumbs on May 18, 2012, 01:32:43 pm

You can do it at any level, you just need 2 unused skill points to convert to an attribute.

understand ... ok .. next gen will be better than the first  :?

Post by: Grumbs on May 18, 2012, 01:36:40 pm

Thats often how it goes. You can respec and get all your stat/ skill points back now, but will lose 50% of all your XP (go to lvl 26 ?)

Yeah same thing happened my first gen.  I had the char calculator, but I was planning for a level 31 build.  Live and learn :P
