Seems viable enough, and what I'm (god forbid I ever make it there) planning for 35 is similar:

18 Strength
24 Agility

2 Ironflesh
6 Powerstrike
8 Shield
8 Athletics
8 Weapon Master

119 One-hand
114 Polearm
115 Crossbow

One thing to always keep in mind, especially with hybrid builds, is your armor weight and effective wpf.

Make sure that you're wearing light enough armor so that with your given wpf the modified amount will be at least 100. I'd recommend even giving it a little more breathing room than that, armor weights are changed from patch to patch, you never know if your favorite piece might get heavier. With 118wpf you'll be restricted to medium armors at most, but that should be fine for a cav/xbow/pole guy.

Quote from: Game mechanic megathread
Armor weight
Armor weight modified proficiency = base proficiency * (1 - 0.01 * effective armor weight)
Effective armor weight = 2*head armor weight + body armor weight + leg armor weight + 4*hand armor weight - 10
(Source: WaltF4, updated 31.7.2012 based on the new formula)

This means that every point of armor weight with helmet weight multiplied by 2 and glove weight multiplied by 4  over 10 reduces your wpf by 1%. Or the same put other way, any effective armor weight from the above equation reduces your wpf 1% per 1 point.

Level 31

18 strength
18 agility

6 powerstrike
6 shield
6 athletics
6 riding
6 weapon master

107 one handed
100 two handed
100 polearm

super hybrid! You are mediocre with all melee weapons and will suffer against more dedicated builds. It does however not make you useless in strat, there's always a melee weapon for you to use.

Meh, Jackie Chan laughs at your "hybrids".
His extra hybrid, that I used for a couple of gens as well.

After this, going 21/18 pure 1h shielder feels so OP

Hey, my old 1h/2h/pole shieldercav (aka: The Weapons Master aka The Looter) build!

Glad someone remembers it!

When I'm going final build, I'm gonna use a variant of that. Not sure weather to go for 21/18 or 18/21. Agi gives me more wpf and an Arabian, but 21 let's me do mauling with the GM.
