30 strength with a 2h will always be good.

Ye but i think this one is pretty slow isnt that a big disadvantage?

being slow is unfun and boring, but the damage and HP you get in return is a huge advantage

30/9 is borderline bad build imo, you need full team support at all times, are immobile as shit, but beast hits like a champ

27/12 is the more typical heavy STR build 2hander gimmick, still stupid strong, but not a crippled idiot when holding W

24/15 is almost the typical build for NA poles/2handers, thus the least interesting 2 play (but worth trying, would recommend this without MW weapons or armor)

21/18 is what i do now, good balance, lets you have nice HP and damage with more athletics to keep combat interesting

below this scale enters my old friendgy eu backpedal builds

edit:  if you are going to do a man up strength build, dont gimp yourself, max IF too, to truly live teh experience of a griefing strength build fat american cliche

the more you want to be a solo superstar and flank people and the such, the more agility you need, so just keep that in mind as you level and make your build based on your playstyle

The build will work fine (boring, but fine) if you stick with your team.

Bear in mind that the instant you're stuck in a 1v2 (or more) vs competent opponents, you're gong to be SOL with 3 ath.

Dadao is probably closest sword to Nodachi.  Midao isnt bad either.

I would agree to some extent, but if you plan on wearing plate armor (true troll build) then I would want a few points in wm so that you still have some wpf after armor penalties.

this is true, a mediumish armor 27/12 build works great with stacked IF, with full plate you MIGHT want to get 3-4 WM, but with full plate you are a bit better off having more athletics anyways so.. just see what works for you

its just that maxed IF really completes the build, since everyone takes 5-10 hits to kill you and you 1-2 shot everyone else

24/15 is very good build.  I switch to that from a 15/24 fast build and I'm loving hitting so hard and basically being nearly as fast in general combat.
