Title: How's this build? Will I be gimp?
Post by: Sir_Hans on September 29, 2013, 10:16:06 am
lvl 31
21/18   HP: 62

Iron flesh: 3
Power Strike: 6
Shield: 2
Athletics: 6
Power Throw: 2
Weapon Mastery: 6

WPF: 146 2h, 72 Throwing

Planning on retiring at 32 or later if I like the build enough. Planning on using +3 HBS and +3 War Darts.
My main questions are:
Will that be enough WPF and Power Throw to make the war darts useful as a secondary weapon? (and not run into the "Your wpf in throwing is too low" messages)
Will my movement speed be completely killed if I wear medium-ish armor, a HBS, a Shield, and War darts? It kind of seems like a lot of weight.
146 wpf in 2h enough to be competitive with non-hybrid melee classes?

Any other thoughts/constructive criticisms on the build?

cool thx  8-)

If it were me I wouldn't bother putting 2 points into shields if you have throwing. Just throw stuff at ranged and use the extra speed to avoid getting shot. You could put those 2 points into IF or PT

Not speaking from experience though, just think you will have a bad shield and not end up using your main 2 roles properly in a round. You'll be switching between too much imo

War Darts with 2 power throw aren't worth it in my opinion. Same goes for 2 shield skill.

Why do you make a 21/18 build instead of 18/18 if you don't even max out power strike?  :o

Drop the shield skill, iron flesh and probably also one weapon master to max out power throw and power strike. Or just go 18/18.

Yea, those 2 shield points are basicly wasted in there.
And go for 4 PT, otherwise the war darts might not even stagger all the time. Out of experience I know that 4PT war darts are hurting on low armour.
Those 72 wpf in throwing prolly won't even equalize your weight so... well, you better find those equations for throwing wpf and calculate it through but I'd say it's not enough.

Max PT without the proper wpf is wasted too :3

Oh cool thx for advice all.

That 6 power strike was a mistype... I meant to put 7 PS.  :mrgreen:

If you're still gonna use the HBS then remember to check the armoury for my +3 trowing daggers. Badass for a 0 slot item :)

So you're not planning on retiring with this char?  Or at least not as soon as you hit 31?

Just wanted to point that out...if you are planning on retiring at 31 then you need to re-do your build
