hmmm, well I could definitely afford to pump up polearms with 9 in weapon master. I was wondering, with 9 in the shield skill would the steel shield be a viable option. The skill bonus would boots it's resistance to over 118 as well as increasing its coverage without hierlooming it... would it ever break? and would the coverage be enough to tank archers?

Beginner's Help and Guides / Viable tank build?

« on: January 27, 2011, 11:41:38 pm »

I love tanking in any game I play, so I wanted to make a tank build for cRPG.

I would be using heavy armor (best i could get with a 15 str req) and a huskarl shield.
My goal would be to stay in the front lines soaking archer fire and protecting the pike/pole arm users.
I'm just wondering if this is a good build or would i be better off with a lower agility and a higher strength for more hp/damage?

    * Strength: 15
    * Agility: 27
    * Hit points: 60

    * Converted: 4
    * Ironflesh: 5
    * Power Strike: 5
    * Shield: 9
    * Athletics: 4
    * Weapon Master: 9

    * One Handed: 185

also, on the cRPG item list for shields, when it lists the shield's "body armor" is that the resistance?
