Title: 2h with Thrown Weps?
Post by: Wrafe on April 10, 2011, 03:08:31 pm
Yo, I was wondering if this option is viable at all. I'm pretty new to the game, but I seem to like 2h over Shield, and Thrown with Shield spec seems to be the thing to do according to other threads.

Would the following spec be any good? And if so, what weapons would be good for the spec? Spec suggestions are welcome also.
Code: [Select]
Strength: 15
Agility: 21
Hit points: 58

Converted: 2
Ironflesh: 4
Power Strike: 5
Shield: 1
Athletics: 7
Power Throw: 5
Weapon Master: 7

Two Handed: 146
Throwing: 100

Gear I have in mind..

German Greatsword
Throwing Axes
Throwing Axes
Nordic Shield

I would change:

Two Handed: 146
Throwing: 100

with:

Two Handed: 100
Throwing: 146

----------------------

At least give it a try :) Up your 2h to 100 first, and see how it goes. You will have light armor, right? Greatsword swings nicely with 100 WPP. I can't spam anyone but slowest turtles, though i never feel too slow to strike after a successful block. And more WPP in Throwing, will let every axe count :)

I am not a pro thrower, so its just my opinion based to many combinations i have tried.

I was reading that 100 throwing was really accurate, or accurate enough. I was wanting throwing as mostly a secondary weapon. I still want to be competitive in melee.

Guess I should have mentioned that.

Thats funny, with 100 throwing I cant even hit stationary targets with anything past wardart

One of my chars is close to heirloom.

It's a full force build   (36F, 3Agi, 11 PS and IF, 1 WM and 116 WPF in 2H at the moment).

I think i will try a 2H / Thrower too with :

Code: [Select]
    * Strength: 33
    * Agility: 3
    * Hit points: 80

    * Converted: 2
    * Ironflesh: 6
    * Power Strike: 11
    * Power Throw: 11
    * Weapon Master: 1

    * Two Handed: 100
    * Throwing: 73

Don't you suffer from lack of mobility?

Hey Wrafe,

I would definitely keep it 100 throwing, 146 2-hand. Having played an almost identical build myself, you'll probably just use the axes to close the distance or put a few good dents into the enemies shield, so at that range you wont need much more accuracy than 100.  With the sword, you're going for an agility build, so you'll want the most speed out of your sword to make up for the lower PS.  It's totally your call, cause neither option is "bad", but from my experience, I'd favor your sword.

Cool, thanks for the opinion. Ya, that was totally my thoughts on the build actually. Close range throwing to soften the target.

I'm really liking the 33/3 build.  I'm gonna be doing 110/49 2h/throwing skill because I'm noticing at lvl 1 skill that if you throw it right you can still hit them.  My old thrower had 88 skill and when compared to 1 skill and PT 8 (as of now) while the axes and lances go crazy sometimes in generally they go where I want.

oh and about mobility, if you wear plate you won't be moving around very quickly anyways.  Yes agi guys will dance circles around you and outrange you but if they back away too much you can always pull out your ranged weapons and one shot them.

PS 11 and PT11 has no effect.
Reduce to PS10 PT10 and 30 str and put rest into agi and whatever skills you like.

i'm slow, that's obvious, but i begin to be not so bad in parriing and with this build, i have a lot a HP. So no, i don't suffer.

Yep, i know. But i wrote this before chadz confirmed the 10-capped skill.

so i'll try :

Code: [Select]
Level 30

    * Strength: 30
    * Agility: 6
    * Hit points: 75

    * Converted: 2
    * Ironflesh: 5
    * Power Strike: 10
    * Athletics: 2
    * Power Throw: 10
    * Weapon Master: 2

    * Two Handed: 100
    * Throwing: 87
