Don't play hoplite. It's too easy.

Straight spear and shield? 1h mixed in?

Straight spear and shield here are a few builds:

(click to show/hide)

18 STR
18 AGI

65 HP

6 IF
6 PS
6 Shield
6 Athletics
5 WM

146 Polearm

Balance uber alles. Durability, decent movement, protection, hitting power.

27 STR
15 AGI

62 HP

9 PS
3 Shield
5 Athletics

111 Polearm

With light armor you'll move decently fast, and 9 PS pierce will put some serious hurt on people. 3 shield skill is a little weak but once it breaks you just turn into 4d or 2d support/pole. Still has great HP because of Strength's OP passive.

15 STR
24 AGI

60 HP

5 IF
5 PS
5 Shield
8 Athletics

Fairly durable for a lower end STR char and will still hit hard enough (if you're NA side, Bigsandwich excels with a 15/27 build using a War Spear- pierce still destroys) while supporting. The extra athletics really helps you to move around teammates.

My personal fav hoplite/1h build is 18/24 at higher levels, but what Espwn suggested and the builds above will do well for 30.

i had a 24/15, but dont worry too much about your build because hoplite is OP

YES I SAID IT AGAIN

every build has its strenghts and weaknesses but they are all playable. Even this

THE UNBREAKABLE SHIELD:
This is the basic of the basic, the most known and a true troll build. For this build you need 12 to 13 shieldskill and a practice shield. With 13 shieldskill your practice shield is unbreakable, with 12 it will still take a damn shitload of hits. Quite effective if you use a knife (eg: rondell) or a shortened spear.

3/36
10 athletics
12 shieldskill
1 powerstrike
wpf either in polearm or 1h

3/39
3 athletics
13 shieldskill
1 powerstrike
wpf in polearm or 1h

*equipment:
    -knife (eg: rondell) or shortened spear
    -practice shield
*rating:
    -effectiveness: when you are alone you are quite weak. Cavalry, ranged and teamhits are a big danger. In group, you can easily gank and kill everyone.
    -upkeep: this might be the cheapest build you can find here. Your equipment is almost free and the same goes for your upkeep.
    -fun rating: nothing more annoying than hammering on a practice shield that turns out to be unbreakable, the same goes for being swarmed by a pack of superfast and untouchable trolls.

Don't play hoplite otherwise

For a level 30 build my favourite was 21/18.

You have to skip out on Ironflesh and a couple of points of shield for the extra power strike but it's all good, who needs ironflesh when you have a shield?

Right now, my Hoplite is level 33, 24/18.
