Title: Lvl 31+ build (maybe with less running)
Post by: Grumpy_Nic on February 04, 2013, 06:51:41 pm
Once again I've hit Lvl31 and want to go for a higher lvl build. My intention is to retire at Lvl33, if the build is fun maybe even later.

My current build is 15/24 - a common dedicated xbow build.
Athletics: 8
WM: 8
PS: 5
165wpf in xbow
94wpf left
3 Skill Points left
1 Attribute Point left

The Lvl32 build I was going for was 15/27 with 9 in Athletics & WM and all WPF in xbow. It could be that this gets kinda boring after a while and I dont want to play xbow during rain maps so I thought about investing in melee. Wouldnt know if I should pick 2h/pole/1h. I could also convert everything to skill points and go for shield or riding...

Any suggestions that would make sense?

I would personally go for 2h as far as melee goes, it pairs with xbows very nicely. And if you ever want to use an arbalest and melee, you can grab a langes messer in 2h mode which works amazingly, or any other 1h that works in 2h mode. Can't go wrong with that.

I'd go for 15-27 with xbow/2h wpf.
You can use:
Arba + Mace
Crossbow + 2h.
Just 2h (on rainy maps).

With 1h you're either just 1h or arbalest + 1h.

Iberian mace and heavy crossbow is a deadly combination. I would highly reccomend trying it.

I think wpf in 1h would offer more possibilities as almost all weapons in this category would be available all the time. I'd maybe go with 2h if I would choose 18/24 which is also an option

More possibilities yes, but considering no shield skill, you're slightly gimped in melee. I always preferred xbow/2h hybrid as you can also roll with a regular xbow and then bring along a normal 2h weapon and wreck in melee as well.

1h without a shield does not mean gimped in melee, at all...

I am using the same build as you, but with some 1H wpf. I am really enjoying it. The weapon I am using is the warhammer which lets me damage even then most heavily armored players with only 5 PS.

I'm not saying it's not viable, but you have shorter reach, less damage, and a shit stab. I'd call it gimped.  :?
Mind you it's only more of a problem because he's not putting anything into shield.

My level 32 build is this

15-27
5 powerstrike, 9 athletics, and 9 weapon master
170 in arbalest
91 in one handed sword

The great thing about this build is you can pretty much outrun anything that isn't on a pony. Even those demonic plate baring two handed swordsmen.

Oh and You don't even have to drop your maul weight arbalest anymore if you are being chased <3 9 athletics, but you 'run' the risk of being caught by that demonic plate baring ninja two handed swordsmen from hell.

my level 30 build is extremely gimped I don't want to talk about it, brings back to many nightmares.  :cry:

Just seen you wanted to get to a higher level...

my level 35 build would be this :

18-27
6 powerstrike, 9 athletics, 9 weapon master
170 in arbalest
99 in 1 handed sword.

or maybe even 15-27
5 power strike, 9 shield 9 athletics 9 weapon master
Adding shield skill will add options for you to play with so you don't get bored.

same wpf balance as the above though, Not saying I recommend this build, its just what I would do/going to do. You could even take away some of that shield skill, and throw in something riding and maybe some Horse archery skill, so you can troll around. more options less likely to get bored.
