Title: What did YOU Respec to?
Post by: WITCHCRAFT on November 18, 2013, 08:43:47 pm
WPF/WM have been redone, every single character has been given a free respec. What did you use the respec to change? What's your old build? How do you like your new build? The new WPF system?

Before, I was aiming for 24/21 shielder with 1H wpf. Full PS, Ath, and Shield skills. Didn't have room for IF or WM. It worked fairly well, but the new WPF system would mean that I couldn't get to 24/21 until 35 if I wanted to keep my Ath/PS/Shield.


My new build is 24/21 polearm with no shield. At level 32 I look like this:
59 HP
24 Strength
21 Agility
8 Power Strike
7 Athletics
2 Weapon Master
107 Polearm WPF

Only need 3.5 million more xp til I hit level 33 and gain 3 more Weapon Master (bringing my wpf past 150). At 34 I'll be able to max WM and get a point of Ironflesh. If I go higher than that (far future at this rate) I'll just throw more into IF.

I am absolutely loving 8 PS and 7 Ath. 100 wpf is enough to not be "bad" but I can't wait for next level. My favorite weapon so far is my +3 long maul. Seems like I could swap it out for a variety of things - long spear, poleaxe, LHB, swiss halberd - and do well with any of them. Polearms are the most diverse weapon class IMO, and it's neat that I can change playstyles completely without respec/changing character/poor stats for the new class.

So how about you? I'm really interested to see what everyone else did, and how they like their new builds.  :D

Still on the fence. I'm level 34 after a few respecs from my original build of 18/24. I don't think I'll ever play enough cRPG/Strat to get back to 35, so this will be a finished build.

I'm between 18/21   6 PS 6 Shield 2 IF 7 Riding 7 WM 7 Ath 123 1h/pole/2h and going back to 18/24 with 1 less IF, no riding, and a three way split that winds up being like 146/144/133 or something close to that. Just not sure how I feel about riding, if it makes the game more fun for me or not. I've also given a little consideration to the inverse of your build, 21/24.

Changed from throwing lances to heavy throwing axes. My build is now better actually.

I was aiming for a build pretty much finished at level 32:
1h/shield 18/21

Now I'm going to testdrive a 15/24 build using STF, so one I can finish up again at level 32/33. IF I ever manage to get beyond level 32, I'll most likely pick up a few points in riding.

Archery

Archery:170
Weapon Master:7
Athletics:3
Power Draw:7
Title: Re: What did YOU Respec to?
Post by: Gurnisson on November 18, 2013, 10:28:12 pm
What didn't you like about it?

I often use slow weapons like pike and long spear, and relatively low wpf wasn't worth an extra power strike with them. If you're gonna use fast weapons it's still a nice build, but 70 more wpf while using pike, long spear or long maul is huge

Archery
Strength:21
Agility:21
Archery:170
Weapon Master:7
Athletics:3
Power Draw:7

I think I'll be sticking to 21/21 for archer build now - You get the benefits of the old 18/24 build (~170 WPF) but now with more STR and fewer converted points. And if I read correctly, PD now has lesser affect on accuracy, so extra PD is viable.

Was 12/30 before, which sucked in strat because nobody ever brings good equipment for players under 15 strength.

So I respecced to:
LVL 32
15/30
5 PS
10 ATH
2 WM
120 2H WPF

Probably done retiring Legs for a while. Any more attributes/skills that I get in the future will go into weapon master.

So close to doing this (was 21/18 with 5 IF/Shield, 7 PS, 6 riding/athletics/wm.  125 1h, 119 polearms).  But I'm tempted to go 24/18 instead...no clue wtf to do

Try to trade +3 courser for +3 arabian warhorse,which would seal the deal for me

Also trying to get +3 heavy lance for my +3 lance  (lol doubt that either of these will happen)

Hey Huseby when you find a good build for cav now let me know, because I still don't know what to do with this patch.

Post by: Sandersson Jankins on November 19, 2013, 12:02:09 am
I'm strongly considering a 30-15 polearm build at level 33 with all relevant infantry skills maxed. My issue is that I took a liking to cavalry, especially in strategus. My old 24-18 build with all relevant infantry skills maxed along with 6 riding was treating my very well.

I want to replicate my domination using a 33-12 polearm level 33 build with all relevant infantry skills maxed, but I don't know if I can give up the goddamned riding.

Oh, and ironflesh isn't a skill I even consider picking up. If I'm getting hit, I'm doing something wrong.

30 strength alone gets you 65 HP. That's almost as much as 21 strength and 7 IF (70 HP). And you get more hitting power by a long shot.

Certainly true. IF is mainly useful for teamwounds and ranged, it seems. Many teamwounds result from a lack of awareness of the teammates around you. Sure, there are plenty of jackasses that run around and teamwound like idiots, but it is not difficult to avoid those players once you learn who they are. Tons of people will orbit an enemy closely and mindlessly and get teamwounded because of it. In the end, at least some fault will always lie with the teamwounder, but a large part of it can lie with the teamwounded.

You can always avoid ranged, even if it sucks hiding and not fighting because you'll be pincushioned with a quickness. It's not that hard to find a competent shielder that you can hide behind while advancing.

I just can't decide on a more-than-competent footman that can ride a ballin' fast horse and lance from it or a disgustingly powerfully-hitting pure footman that still has adequate athletics for footwork.

Fuck.

21/18 to 15/27 Shielder. Still deciding whether to get polearm proficiency or be a mega 1h spam whore...
Title: Re: What did YOU Respec to?
Post by: Oggrinsky on November 19, 2013, 02:06:31 am
I'm completely lost as how to proceed. Before the rework I was 18/20; with 8 mil left till 33 for an 18/21 hoplite/1h build. I was going for a really balanced build... and actually getting quite bored.
Anyhow, I don't know what build to go for. I was thinking about going with the FOTM and grabbing a bunch of AGI for a light fast hoplite which I think would work with my play style.

Agility builds are kind of uncharted territory for me as I've always gone for balanced hybrid builds. Anyone have a recommendation for me? For a level 33 build of course and I definitely want to stick with polearms.

Any advice would be much appreciated.  :D

Post by: kinngrimm on November 19, 2013, 02:41:28 am
i became very fond of 11 shieldskill ... i do miss a bit more wpf ... i was even thinking going back to the very roots like when i started as a 1h/sh/thrower ... having a bit more str also would be nice so i would be more flexible concerning weapon balancing and strategus gear ...

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh i hope i did the right thing ^^

Was going to do the same 18/18 polecav build but ended up accidentally putting all the wpf in 1handed.

Now i'm a 1hand cav with 2 goddamn shield.

I was 21/21 before patch and I liked my setup for strat and normal battle but I mostly played on alts for normal servers anyway.

And now I have no fucking clue what to do.

I'm leaning towards 18/24 or something similar to hybrid better and get more ath. It'd just be 1 less PS but I can't bring myself to make a damn decision. 21/21 with same or similar setup? Or 18/24 with similar setup? I don't plan to go higher str but.. I could I guess.

Wish I could remember what wpfs I had before to remember what I had for crossbow wpf to get a feel for where would be adequate to stop at.
Title: Re: What did YOU Respec to?
Post by: Malaclypse on November 19, 2013, 05:56:52 am
18/24 is what I settled on Taser. Went ahead and put into 1h/2h/pole and wound up being able to split prof 121/96/112 pre bonus (146/126/139 after) at full WM. You could definitely make a decent hybrid of melee + crossbow, maybe even two melee classes.

I like 18/24. You can pack 150 xbow (which is enough) and 118 1h as well as be slightly faster. If I remember correctly, you use a cleaver which has good damage on the swings, so you should not glance too much. If you find 150 xbow too expensive (test on a STF first) you can always knock it down and add it to 1h too.

Post by: Lord_Bernie_of_Voodoo on November 19, 2013, 06:07:05 am
15/24

5 PowerStrike
5 Ironflesh
8 Weapon Master
8 Athletics

All points in Pole.

With the limited of experimentation I did with this build, I found it to work well. I wear a loomed Brigandine over mail, so the fast, agility build contrasted well with the heavy armor. This build is primarily used with a Swiss Halberd - a high damage weapon that is punishing if used by a skilled Polearm player.

Agility doesn't boost mounted move/ maneuver, does it? 5 HA is pretty hilarious, but I'd rather have 8 or more riding with 4 HA.

High riding skill really helps you escape enemy cav that stalk you on sight. You can literally run circles around enemies that have 5 riding and an armored horse. Easier to dodge infantry spears too.

I made a quick list of possible builds for my main, lv31 archer. Not sure how they would play, since I don't have much experience with this. Had some builds with PS too but discarded them after doing some testing with my STF character.
I think I will go for the second one for high wpf (even higher with lv33), if I don't like 15/30 on my stf. Since I don't use rus or long bow 5 pd won't be a major problem for me, but don't know about any other consequences of it.

What do you think about these builds? Do they look silly? Or would you suggest any changes etc.?  :rolleyes:

I've tried pole builds of 15/27, 18/24 and 21/21 and found the 18/24 to be best for me. Before the patch I was stuck with 21/21, so I'm glad I got the free respec :D

Also got the tweak my lvl 32 archer who was originally a 18/21 into 18/24 :D  And got to change my full str pole-alt into a balanced 2hander. Overall I now have high lvl pole char, high lvl archer and a almost-lvl31 2hander. Me likes

When is MW Arbalest accuracy at its maximum wpf wise?

I am stuck at 15/30 10 WM 7 Athl 192 xbow, and thinking about how to split the remaining 428 wpf in between 1h and xbow, cuz end build will have 5 PS.

I think if you're naked it will only increase reload speed past 160 ish. I did a pure arbalest gen a while back, and reloading with 196 wpf and light armor was pretty fast already. Imagine what you could do now...

7 weapon mastery
7 power strike
6 athletics
144(155) 2h / 96(117) polearm

If I like the build enough I'm gonna max atheltics and then throw the rest into Ironflesh @ 32 & 33.... then maybe go for 6 riding If I ever make it to 35 :P (or maybe just stick 2 points into IF @ 32 and then I can get 6 riding by lvl 34...)

I'd rather go 21/21 now, and pump 5 IF on 35 instead.

100% agree with gurni...I'd give up IF now and go 21/21 (and have 7 athletics and possible 7 WM)

I was level 32 when they respec all characters, then i respeced to 21/21 polearm cav but didn't like it and then respeced again to 18/21 1h shielder and didn't like it and respeced to 15/24 xbowman and decided to play something else again. I just did respec 5 minutes ago (level 28) and i am going for 21/21 polearm again.

Edit : I did respec again to 1h cav, lol.

Sooooooo... with my lvl 30 2H my old friend...

Should I go

21/18 with like 156 WPF/6ATH/7PS
or
24/15 with like 139WPF/5ATH/8PS

Lower has more HPs and hits harder but the above strikes faster and moves faster... hmmm...

I've had 5, 6 and 7 athletics as a lancer. Now I have 0 athletics so that's the big difference.
I can't say 0 athletics is good because it isn't. But I have 1 more PS and 5 more hitpoints instead and that's good.

My build and some screenshots:

lvl 34, 21/24 2h to 18/27 2h/pole
lvl 30, 15/24 cav to 24/15 str crutch cav pole+2h
lvl 32, 15/24 1h+thrower to 12/33 2h
lvl 32 18/21 pole to 15/24 1h/2h/pole shielder
I kept my archer exactly the same as it was before, 18/18 1h+archer, 0 athletics.

Even though I have all of these characters, I still play on my STF more than anything else, as I've already started to regret the loss of my thrower. Although 12/33 (even with zero PS at level 30) using a MW Goedendag and 12 str requirement armor is one of the most enjoyable builds I have ever played, it's too similar and almost always less effective than my 18/27 build.

Finally made up my mind after playing with STF characters for a week:

21/21 @ level 32

144 1h wpf
7 PS
7 Athletics
4 shield
5 WM

Level 33 I'll add 2 WM raising 1h to 170 and 1 shield. Level 34 maxes shield and 1 point in IF, although I doubt I'll get there.

lvl 31

21 STR
21 AGI

7 Weaponmaster
6 Riding
3 Horse Archery
4 Powerstrike

Something about 160wpf in xbow, don't really remember it.
I mixed up 2 builds by accident (don't ask me how) and had to endure this thing until 32, because I already had half of the xp for it  :|
