Awlpikes are good for support/thrust. Pike/Long (or Bamboo) Spear so you can be LONG AND STRONG. Estoc if you're a bastard weapon scrub.

That was not the question. Im a 1h user (espada espavona and its longer cousin are both 1h). I needed builds. Agi or str? ... Thx though

agi i suppose. mostly becuase u will need the wep prof to negate a lot of the wep stun for blocked stabs.

15-27?

dont need a lot of power strike for stabs so somthing like that should work

If you're not going to bother swinging(just stabs), 12 STR to meet weapon requirements and rest AGI is fine.

For 34, with shield:

12 STR
30 AGI
4 PS
5 Shield
10 ATH
10 WM
210 1H WPF

For 34, no shield:

12 STR
33 AGI
4 PS
11 ATH
8 WM
191 WPF

Wear any 10 or less weight body armor, 0.3 to 0.5 weight gloves, 1.1 weight or below boots, any helmet.

You'll get hit with a 20-23 WPF penalty, but it doesn't really matter with 100+ 1h speed ratings. It'll help a lot against low PD/PT ranged, and 1h/bastard sword cut.

Alternatively, just go cloth for max food speed/upkeep greed.

Yeah, what Banks said. For thrust weapons, speed bonus is a more effective way to increase damage than power strike, so get the minimum strength to meet the requirements, max PS, then put everything else in WM and Athletics.

Just remember that speed bonus works both ways, so learn which weapons/players usually "outstab" you, and don't try to attack them until you block once first. Otherwise you will find yourself getting one-shot by greatswords and the like if you run into their stabs at full speed.

With 1h thrust, the key is never actually aim at your opponent. You always want to be dragging your thrust to your right and/or down. Dragging left is slow and often glances, so I don't recommend it. If you actually aim at your target, you will glance at medium/short range, so stab into the air then drag into your opponent's head. It looks incredibly stupid, but that's how Warband combat works.
