Title: Lvl 34 1 hand heavy cav
Post by: Gawin on November 21, 2013, 04:02:01 am
Can anyone give me a good build for this with the new point system? I haven't been playing for around a month, I'm level 33 right now, but I'm nearly 34. My intended build was:
Str:24
Agi:18
PS:8
IF:2
Shield:5
WM:4
Riding:5
Ath:6
Something along these lines give or take 1 or 2 skill points (cant exactly remember what my previous build was)

I would go for 21/18 or 24/15 if you are not gonna ride anything higher than 5 riding.

If the only time you don't use a horse is in siege or siege strat battles that build still seems pretty good. Might do 21/21 and get the extra point for ath if your on the ground a lot though. You wouldn't really need it in strat sieges though, so for your purposes your existing build seems pretty good.

The other thing is that you might not need that much PS from horseback with the increase in agi builds. I don't know how it is in EU though. 18/21 might be a good idea too. Leave you a lot more skill points for IF and WM, or more riding.

Also the character builder is only outdated wpf wise, so you could still look at skill point allocation with it for the 18/21 build.

I would definitely suggest going 21/18 or 24/15 rather than 24/18. You'll have a lot more skill points to spend and I think it'll be worth a lot more than 1 extra ATH in the end.

Mine is 24/15 with all skills full except for IF which is at 7 and it's a pretty effective build. Gives 139wpf max, but I have 129 now so I can go 40 throwing if I ever reach lvl35 and can put in 3PT* :)

*might have to test if that's effective at all

It's good but I would drop 1 point out of ATH & Shield and get 2 more points in IF. It's not much but black barred isn't dead.

I would go for 21/18 instead.

Level 34:

4 IF
7 PS
6 ATH
6 Riding
6 Shield
6 WM

Why would you go for 18 Agility if you don't even max out Riding (and WM)?

Go for 27/15 if you only want 5 Riding.

Level 34:

0 IF
9 PS
5 ATH
5 Riding
5 Shield
5 WM

hmmm 27-15 sounds very tempting... I think i might go with 21 18. The 1 extra in WM, Ath, Ride, and Shield is better than 1 extra PS and 4 IF. Im already crutching on 69 body armor. I dont think im going to need

the IF. thanks for the help guys

That build looks solid enough.  The server has increased it's speed.  In order to keep up you probably need more WPF than usual.  With 6 WM you can get something like 150 1h.  But something to consider is how the patch effects hybrids.  There is a bonus to any melee dual class.  So you could also break down the 6 WM and get 140 1h and 100 polearm.  If you decide to just stick with the 1h I would suggest 5 WM giving you about 140.  I currently have a hybrid 1h with only 117 WPF....  You can of course use perfect footwork and turn into your swings to make up for it.  But I would feel much more comfortable with another 20 WPF.  My build was fast enough before the patch.  Now I am at a slight disadvantage and it's worth a skill point. 

You might consider 21-21 also...  The server isn't only faster but weaker.  7 PS is the new 8 lol just like 7 athletics is the new 6.  With 21 agi and 4 WM you would have about 133 WPF.  It's not ideal but it's not bad either.

18/21 if you ride bundle of sticks arabian warhorse
21/18 if you're both good on horse and on the ground
24/15 if you're bad infantry and wants health and hitting power.

Don't convert more points for a 1h cav build, it's not worth it. Max out wm, ps, ride and ath. I use 21/18 myself, great build.
