At the moment the strongest build for 2h is :i second this, this will be my build next gen :) great build, good dmg, can take hits but as a beginner i would go for a little more agi: 21/18 as suggested by Tom or 18/21, it gives you a little space for faster footwork which will help you get the feel with the animations and sorts. :) or go 24/12 with riding for trollin purposes, that was my first build but i woldnt recommand it for effectiveness, it's fun though. :lol:
24/15
(8 skills converted to attribut)
8IF
8PS
5ATH
2WM
all wpf in 2h.
You get 75 hp (which is a lot) and enought damage output to be able to two hits almost everyone. And 5ath is enough for a good footwork, really.
Going for a more agi oriented build is good in battle to flank people or not getting flanked or overwhelmed, otherwise strengh is usualy better.
edit: And i forgot, as long as you're using a weapon faster than 90 (which is 90% of 2handed) getting more than 100 effective wpf is useless. You swing faster with more ATH not more WPF.
I am rolling 27/15(click to show/hide)
hit like a truck, even tho little slow, but with fast weapon its quite nice fun even 1v1 8-)
Compare to 24/15 you lose 13 hp which is about +20% survivability to get +1 ps which is about +4-6% damage, just nah =/.
str itself increase dmg too, we know?
If I remember right, it's +1dom at each 5 strenght. Yet, I don't know if it directly is 5 strenght for 1 dom or works like that because of the starting 3 strenght 8/13/18/23/28/33/38/43. So in the first case he would gain 1 dom since he would pass the 25 strenght dom, in the second case, nothing changed but less HP and arround 4-6% dom increase.
18/18 is master build. try that whenever
