I'm back after a looong vacation

[Spawny]

So, I'm back from a rather long sabbatical (about a year or so  ), but now I'm back and a bit lost.
I'm pretty sure a lot has changed and I can't even properly remember what my plans for my main were.

Anyway, here's my current stats:
Level 31
Attribute points:1
Strength:18
Agility:18
Weapon points:20
One Handed:154
Two Handed:1
Polearm:1
Throwing:1
Crossbow:1
Archery:1

Skill points:2
Weapon Master:6
Athletics:6
Riding:0
Iron Flesh:5
Shield:5
Horse Archery:0
Power Strike:6
Power Draw:0
Power Throw:0

Gear:
+3 Broad One Handed Battle Axe
+3 Long Dagger
+3 Brigandine
+3 Gotland Helmet
+3 Mail Gauntlets
Knightly Heater Shield
Warhammer
Espada Eslavona
Splinted Leather Greaves over Mail

I mostly played siege and I expect I will be doing that again. I like playing a 1h, fighting in tight spaces, defending breaches, etc. When playing battle I tend to follow the same playstyle and be in the thick of the fight.
As for weapons, I use whatever I like at that moment. Mostly my trusty axe, but I switch it out for a long slashing sword or stabby sword every now and then.

My biggest questions are:
- Any important changes I need to be aware of?
- How's my build for the current meta and what should I go for next, keeping in mind my preferred playstyle?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Firstly, welcome back!


Important changes:
1hand stab recently received a huge buff.


Your build:
Perfectly fine, just needs more stabbing.

1h stab is extremely strong nowdays, you should consider a 4d-sword.

For me it looks like you're going for a finished build at 33. You could hit 32, convert your 2 skill points to 1 attribute points and go for either 21/18 or 18/21 and when/if you hit 33 you can convert the skill point to attributes and finish your build.

I always like to max out attributes first and then fill out my build with skill points. This way I have final power strike and athletic at pretty low level, so I don't feel like my build is unfinished while I grind to higher levels. Adding 3 more points here and there is funny but not essential most of the time (at least for the melee players).

I'll go mess around with my espada for a while. See how it works.

I reckon it still doesn't make a huge difference whether you go 21/18 or 18/21?
