Title: Nodachi/Bow Samurai Build?
Post by: Righteous on September 19, 2012, 08:07:49 pm
I've searched around the forums for a samurai build that finishes at hopefully 30 but I couldn't find any.
Was wondering if anyone had a good build for Nodachi/Yumi/heavy samurai armor? And if it's even viable or fun at all?

Not very viable, but it's fun. I think your best best is an 18/18 build.

18 strength / 18 agility

6 power draw, power strike, athletics, weapon master
5 ironflesh

50 two-hander weapon proficiency
150 archery weapon proficiency

Cool, thanks. How come only 50 WPF in 2H?

Weapon Proficiency is more vital for your bow. No use having it if you can't hit anything. Besides, the majority of your damage with your sword will come from your power strike.

Yeah it's not there for me. Maybe 'cuz I just made this account?#

Edit: Also, would this build be able to use a katana instead of a Nodachi?

Use the Tatar bow and drop archery WPF down to 135 and raise two-hander to 100. You will still have enough accuracy and a tatar still kills 98% of the time that the horn bow would get the kill.

Without HA skill, you do -80% damage I think lol.

Each level of HA increases that percent by 20.

So 2 HA would allow you to do -40% damage. 5 HA would let you do 100%

I don't think it's a good idea, wpf for melee weapon is worthless compare to wpf for bow.

He should build 50 2h /150 bow but probably go for a katana. (you wont see the difference beetween 50 and 100 wpf with a katana)

I played as a 24/15 archer/melee. Not with a nodachi and yumi, but similar. I used longbow and a 1h weapon. With 8 Power Draw and 8 Power strike, you can take down people with only a few arrows. When someone closes in, they will not expect your devastating swings at all. The only problem is that you can't wear the heavy samurai armor - there just won't be enough WPF for your archery to meet the needed minimum.

With the light strange armor set you could probably pull this off - the higher strength will give you a few extra hit points to make up for some of the lost armor.
