I am 21Str 18Ath 1h/shield now. And I am not shure which path to go if I keep levelling this charakter.
So what do you guys think? is is better to get 1 PS more (including 3 STR and 3 HP) or to get 7 IF (14 HP)?
Please give advise and let your wisdome shine.

Well, by boosting IF you get +14 hp, but, by getting another PS point, you can also get +2 IF (+4 hp) (+7 hp total counting the hp from STR).
I say that the additional PS for just 7 hp less is worth it, but that's just me.

I don't get your calculations. It's 7 IF or 3 str + 1 PS, where did you get another 2 IF points from?
Anyway, it's up to your personal preferences, both ways are viable.
Why not go for lvl 34-35 and get both by the way?

I suppose he means staying 21/18 and boost IF, or keep levelling up and after 3 levels he gets another PS, and, for the first two levels, he can raise IF.
For short term, getting +3 IF from one level to another is nice, but, if you are patient and get to 24/18, I think it's worth it. Besides, training lessons are expensive.

Yeah, but I don't see how these spare 2 skillpoints are an argument for going 24-18 instead of 21-18.
They can be used in both cases, if not for Iron Flesh, then for any other skill.
7 skillpoints are equal to 3 stats + 1 skillpoint, you should only consider these numbers when deciding to convert or not convert.

I meant levelling 2 more levels (lvl31 atm). now i have 1 point left. so after 2 more levels I could either have 7 IF (14HP) or 3 Str + 1 PS (3HP )more.
So it really is the question wether 11 HP (14-3) or 1PS is the better choice.

Because that is such a long way and I don't want to make any plans that go too far to the future.

7 IF.

My character is 24/21 with no ironflesh and I do not regret this choice. 24 strength alone gives you a decent pool of hit points, and another level of powerstrike is better than any amount of IF in my opinion. Whether you are aggressive and spammy or defensive and wait for that one perfect attack, higher PS will benefit you.

0 iron flesh is definitely the way to go. However, since you have already spent your points, you should get more power strike. You are also a shielder which makes having iron flesh less practical since you block with shield and not manually.
Iron flesh can be substituted for better armor and once you have masterwork armor you will never need IF again.

IF is equally useful for all classes, except that it's a little more useful for agi builds than for any others, since it increases your hp for a higher percentage when you have low base hp. So it doesn't really matter if you're shielder or not.

Well, no. Iron Flesh stays just as useful when you loom your armour.

Hmm well If you are a fucking pro at crpg like me you don't need iron flesh cuz you know how to block good and take 0 dmg anyway.
Tldr: L 2 manual block noob

Well the point is - Iron Flesh would increase your surviveability by the same percentage as for any noob, because it increases your HP.
Looks at it this way: if you're pro and rarely ever take hits, additional 10 HP would prolong your life for a whole lot of time, wouldn't it?

Right and having more armor would have the same effect.

and slow you down.
Also, high armour and high hp walks hand in hand. They work best together.

Dead people deal no damage.

well I guess NA plays more balls to the wall, most of the top players in our servers have 0 IF builds.

..neither , 8 riding.

Any time you would consider 7IF, just add 3 agility and an extra athletics instead, then wear 7kg heavier armor. You will be tougher with +7 armor than you would be with +14 HP. I only use IF for "leftover" points; I would have to attain lvl 36 to get up to 7IF, which won't happen before the mod dies.
More power strike is always a good option as well, moreso to limit glances than the extra damage. A glance often means death.

If you plan on using heavier armours, I would suggest taking the IF.
