If by OP you mean Over Priced, I agree completely!

Beginner's Help and Guides / Re: Fittable 1h'er with my 21/15 build
« on: August 31, 2011, 03:02:20 am »Quote
My deadly steel pick with 7 ps kills people in 1-2 hits.
Normal steel pick still does lots of damage, give it a try.
I concur with this. The piercing damage is what makes it such a beast, and its quick too.
I used this same build last gen, the 5 athletics means you can face hug and use the "steel pick to the face" technique.
I wore much lighter armor though, with heavy armor like you are thinking about you might need a longer range weapon.

Thanks mate, I'm going to use the 3rd one. Cheers
Npz, glad I could help.
Thats the build that I have been leaning towards for my next gen.
Either that or one of these reduced shield builds, probably the second one.
---------------------------
This one is average at movement, but has good damage and lots of HP.
Level: 30
Strength: 21
Agility: 15
Ironflesh: 7
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 2
Athletics: 5
Riding: 5
Weapon Master: 3
One Handed: 131
---------------------------
This one is average at movement, max powerstrike, but sacrifices 11 HP
Level: 30
Strength: 24
Agility: 15
Ironflesh: 0
Power Strike: 8
Shield: 2
Athletics: 5
Riding: 5
Weapon Master: 3
One Handed: 131
------------------------
If my calculation is correct, the difference between these two builds is 11 extra hitpoints vs 8% more damage.

I am no expert so I pulled some builds off of various pages in this forum and modified them for my own preferences. Since our requirements are similar, I see no reason not to share the information I gathered from various sources in this post.
If you don't want to listen to a newb like me feel free to look through the first couple pages of this forum, there are plenty of other threads talking about different builds and equipment loadouts. Since you said you could find none that fit your requirements, here are some of my own.
This first build is the one I am using now for my first cav gen to see which role I like best. I can do 1h/cav, lance/cav, and 1h/shield melee very well. If you are still not sure what kind of cav you want to be, perhaps you would consider something like this for your first gen.

This one is the previous build modified for just 1h/shield/cav. less weapon master, more ironflesh.

Here is a build i found with even more strength and durability, but my experience with 1h cav so far makes me think this won't be fast or maneuverable enough to deal with other cav.

If anyone with more actual riding experience wants to comment on any of these builds or add their own, I would also appreciate the feedback.

thanks to both of you for your quick responses 
I was planning to buy a champion mount if it worked the way it apparently works.
autorepair off ftw!

Thanks for the response Tears
I wasn't really asking about repair costs though.. What I am wondering is if I get a +3 masterwork item, if it will degrade to first to +2, then +1 OR if it goes +3 straight to +0. I would hate to have to spend 1,000,000 gold to find the answer.

How do repairs work for heirlooms?
I only have a single +1 heirloom now and with autorepair off it is damaged like this:
(+1) Heavy Steel Pick > (+0) Steel Pick > (-1) Chipped Steel Pick > etc..
So with a +3 heirloom, does it go
(+3) Deadly Steel Pick > (+2) Balanced Steel Pick > (+1) Heavy Steel Pick > (-0) Steel Pick > (-1) Chipped Steel Pick > etc..
or
(+3) Deadly Steel Pick > (+0) Steel Pick > (-1) Chipped Steel Pick > etc..
The answer to this will effect my upcoming first MW heirloom purchase, thx in advance.
