What is a Good Melee build

[Torchy]

i want to try to get into a melee class but dont know where to start i thought id post becuase many people have been playing longer than me

[Palurgee]

(For level 30)

2h and polearm: 21/18

1h and shield: 24/15

Most vanilla builds right there, they get the job done and they do it well.

I'd say 15/21 (or maybe 18/18 for more shielder build), because you can spent points into shield and/or PT, so it gives you more flexibility(eg. against shooters). It's good for light-medium armor, because it's fast and with a lot of wpf, so you can go 1h|shield+throw or even 2h+shield|dagger+throw.
But if want be medium-heavy infantryman it's better to have more strenght imho and specialize in one weapon.

I'd always recommend going more str than agility as melee.  24/15 (even 27/12) are great 2h builds.  I'd recommend a little more agility/athletics with a shield or polearm build (still have more str than agi though).  Also I'd recommend converting 8 skills to attributes so you can have something like the builds described above.
