Try a versatile build 21/15 21/18 18/18 18/21
You will be successful with a wide variety of armour and weapons. 2 of the above builds are "finished" at level 29 so at level thirty or earlier you can invest in shield, riding or throwing skills. You also get plenty of wm if you want to use multiple close quarters weapon categories.

Most fun eh?

Probably a 18/21 2h cav or 15/21 crossbow shielder. Maybe 24/15 piker? Or maybe it was the Iron Staff swinging cav I had before upkeep came? I can't remember anymore, been playing for so long.

The fun is trying different things out!

Made a plate and maul stf recently, apart from being very fun its also the most succesfull class I ever played. 1 hander without shield is also fun, its a different ball game but quite effective in the end. Horse archer is very bad at killing anything but amazingly fun.

I heard horse slasher, either 1h or 2h, is very fun and I have been meaning to try that out.

1h no shield is pretty fun. It doesn't feel cheap like 2h or polearm.

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)
Strength: 18
Agility: 18
Skills to attributes: 2
Power Strike: 6
Shield: 5
Athletics: 6
Riding: 6
Weapon Master: 6
One Handed: 100
Two Handed: 100
Polearm: 105

This is probably the most fun build I've ever had. You can pretty much do anything. Nothing beats going into battle with a Club/Axe/Staff and see what you can loot on the way. Maybe a horse? Maybe a shield and a MW sword? Oh my! A MW pike! All of these things you can take and you can adapt your spawn gear to face almost any challenge.

15/24
I forgot the skill points
And a warhammer no shield skill
I was very fast and never glanced that much

12/30 war spearman was amusing. 15/21 horse archer gave me some kicks. The 21/18 throwing lancer is fun right now. And, I once wasted an STF trying to do what zapper said except with range included.

27/12 polearm with low armor and shortened spear. Was pretty fun with stagger and insane damage from an unlikely source (dressed as a peasant) :lol:

Just about any agility leaning build is fun, especially to the extreme. I, personally, don't have fun with any type of ranged builds, however. I had a lot of fun with a 9/30 katana samurai build. 15/27 longsword build is pretty ballin', too. This weekend I'm going to try out a 12/27 shielder STF and see how that works out.

Thrower.

Or maybe this :

9/33 11 riding, super coucher, require high skill on couching, i can top score with it, super fun but it was no fun when crossbow 1 shot you :D

I tried it as well and it was great fun xD courser, jousting lance (not the great lance, you don't need that) a low skill shield and peasant clothes. You will also break even in gold.

32/9

Accept no substitute and play in first person.

Bring a maul or a pike and play as support.

12/27 shielder with boat loads of ATH an Italian Falcion and round cav shield is fun as hell. Just wear rags for armour only wieght should be your shield and sword. Face hug and destroy!!!

I'm like 15/24 thrower with daggers, but I think 9/30 dagger thrower would be... EXTREME!!!ly annoying!

Post by: Butan on May 25, 2012, 03:28:59 pm
I think the most fun builds are all the builds you can do; even if this game is mostly about STR and AGI, there is a lot of possible combinations (ranging from 3/42 to 42/3, everything is (at an extent) doable and efficient) not to say all the skills who depends on STR/AGI that clearly defines your character more and more.

But to be really efficient, there is only 2 school of thoughts : min/maxing//extreme builds AND hybrids//jack-of-all-trades; both can be very good builds if the player knows how to efficiently "catch" every game bonus those builds can offer (this is why some chars seems better than others, which can be even more multiplied by the player skill).


My personal opinion would be that the most fun builds are those extremely good in one area  AND/OR having a build which allows a funny sets of lethal weapons (like a thrower/2H build, or a bow/1h build, or more classic a lance cav with a very good pole on foot too).

There. New build just for you. Should be all melee weapons, all bows AND all thrown weapons, although you lose the courser, arabian and steel shield.
(click to show/hide)


hey man,is 100 poitns enough? I mean how does it affect your swinging speed?
For melee, 100 points is enough. I would say 50 is the "minimum" and 100 is max efficiency, even with the reduced wpf from armour. The swing difference is really small. Going from 1-->100 makes you a bit faster. Going from 100-->150 gives you just a very small amount more speed. Nothing that really affects you a lot.

There are SOMETIMES you notice the reduced swing speed, mainly when you try to sneak in an extra hit or get the first hit in, but for the normal block, attack, block it's enough, or if using a 2hander or polearm axe, attack, block, attack, hiltslash.

bumping this with a request for gimmicky but fun builds for non STF characters (my main, lol) im currently a crossbowmen/HX hybrid, and while its fun, i think its generally killing my wallet. So im honestly just looking for something thats fun for a main not so much an alt..
Title: Re: what build you you have the most fun with?
Post by: WITCHCRAFT on June 08, 2012, 10:18:09 pm
It's just an opinion, but I always feel like faster = more fun. High athletics or high riding. High wpf with decent power strike and a bar mace.

Beat people to the ground, then beat them while they are on the ground.

Yell "HOME RUN" every time you get a kill.

I played a 15/24 buckler+1h+thrower for a long time, but respecced, aiming for 15/27 but without shield.

I am a level lower because of respec, but I already got a slightly better K/D compared to the previous build, I also find playing this build much more intense and fun.

Post by: Riddaren on June 10, 2012, 01:29:33 am
Create alt characters with solid builds for each class and don't retire them.

I have a full str (polearm), full agi (1h), high str (thrower), high agi (archer) etc.
Extreme builds are more fun imo as it makes a bigger difference when you switch between them.

My current build (or what I will have next level anyway)

18/21

5 IF
6PS
5 Shield
7 Athletics
6 WM

All wpf in 1h.
Long dagger + steel buckler (5 skill one)
padded jack
some heavy gloves
felt hat
blue hose

Most of the people think you're a free kill, until you've killed them a few times with quick stabs to the face.
Better practise your chambering, as you will be doing it often if you don't avoid axes.

Well what can i say, ninja builds :)

I tried other classes too but easy kills turn me off..
Ninja with hafted blade is a lot of fun, bit i like the versatility of my thrower/katana build. Perhaps it would be more powerful as a hafted blade thrower, but less stylish..

18/24 hits at lvl34..
6ps 6pt
122 2h wpf 133 throwing wpf
8ath 8wpm

Mw katana, 8mw snowflakes, 3mw jarids.

Versatilty to deal with almost any situation, flanking possibilities. Lots of cav, bring jarids,  lots of ranged, bring 16 snowflakes and go for the headshots!

Build that lets you be creative.. Super 2h in front? Give him some jarids, archers? Make em nervous by throwing at them.. They cant run away..

The only thing is the build sucks a bit unless u have mw throwing weps.

Also should be lvl 31 at least :)

DAGGER CAV

nuff' said

The build goes something like this.....
Level 30
Strength: 6
Agility: 30
Hit points: 45
Skills to attributes: 2

Ironflesh: 2
Power Strike: 2
Shield: 0
Athletics: 10
Riding: 10
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 5

One Handed: 148
This build has many flaws including the fact THAT YOU CAN'T BLOCK, EVERYTHING OUT-RANGES YOU, ARCHERS AND X-bows WILL ONE SHOT YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR IMMENSE SPEED TO OUTRUN OTHER CAV. All you need is a long dagger, a fast horse and very good timing; you will get bitches like no other. (And yes i actually get a positive KDR with this build, probably because im the only one to do it.)

I haven't tried throwing/hoplite, it seems a bit unreliable - having mixture of two support classes seems a bit weird. Without using spear without shield when it is needed you won't be able to solo. So it should be named throwing/hoplite/polearmer hybrid instead :)

What I would suggest is, go for spear+shield+1handed. Support with spear, and solo with 1handed.

My personal favorite is probably my thrower warfare build. It's a 21/21 7pt 7ath 3wm and I just literally kite melee all round and assassinate archets
