Title: Suggestions for my build
Post by: Equal on September 04, 2012, 07:56:26 pm
So I've decided that I dislike retiring so much on my main that I'm going to stop - my new source of looms will be through alts - which takes a long time but clan armory basically takes away from needing loompoints in the first place. My plan is to get to level 33 so I can go to this build, but I can't quite figure out where to put my last skill point. also might as well ask for more advice on my build in other aspects since it's not going anywhere.

Level 33 (35 569 612 xp)

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 21
    Hit points: 63

    Unused skill points: 1

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Ironflesh: 5
    Power Strike: 6
    Shield: 5
    Athletics: 7
    Riding: 7
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 1

    One Handed: 100
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 70
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

So what should I put that last point in? Should I take points out of anything? I'm only level 28 atm so I'm open to respecing if someone can convince me of a better build.

Personally I'd go only 4 shield, and 3 IF, then you could have 6 WM

This is my 30 build

Level 30:

At level 33 I'm going 21/18 not 18/21, but if I were doing what you want to do, I'd suggest this:

Level 33 (35 569 612 xp)

(click to show/hide)

Change around your IF and WM all you want, but I'd prefer to have WM over IF myself (I like faster/more damage on my melee weapons).  And you really don't need 5 shield on horseback.  The 4 shields are the best, 6 would be decent for some strat battles, but for c-rpg, 4 is all you need in shield (get elite cav shield or knightly heater shield).

My 21/18 build at level 33:

If I didn't shield crutch on horse (it is nice for blocking projectiles when I put myself in a bad situation), and didn't like 1h/shield in strategus siege battles, I'd probably go something like this at level 33:

21/21
Level 33 (35 569 612 xp)

    Strength: 21
    Agility: 21
    Hit points: 56

    Skills to attributes: 8


    Power Strike: 7
    Athletics: 7
    Riding: 7
    Weapon Master: 5

And have something like 155 WPF in polearms

Haha yeah I was thinking of trying out different builds before settling down in to my 30+ level range but I'm definitely sticking with 1h + Shield.

I'm genuinely surprised that the difference between 5 IF and 0 is only 6 HP. What a waste. I'm going to make your level 30 build on a STF because I need to try out all that WM before I make that commitment. Im fine without it but I haven't tried it with so my opinion is biased. Thanks for the builds!

Actually going from 1 IF to 6 IF is a 10 HP difference, so it is noticeable (I just had a 4 IF character and I notice I took more hits than at 1 IF).  But in my head I really like having the extra WPF in polearms and 1h.  I wear medium/heavy gear and having 19 WPF over 100 is crucial if you want to keep your active WPF over 100.  I know some people say they use 1 polearm WPF when heavy lancing, but I like getting my lance fully extended quicker.

Let me know if you think having the extra WM is useful or not...I'm pretty set on my final build, but only at level 23 or so
