Hybrid Huscarl: Shielder/1H/2H/Thrower

[Peregrino]

Hello Mates: I Like the Nordic characters, so , I have a question:  is posible to build an "Huscarl character"? wich can use Heavy Shield, 1H, 2H, and Throw and even dont be weak and make several damage at mele fight?

Maybe can see utopic, so i need your advice.

You would have to spread your Weapon Proficiency Points between three different weapon types. Best to pick just two, be either Shield/1h/Throw or 2h/Throw.

I came up with this build

Strength: 18
Agility: 21
Hit points: 53
Skills to attributes: 8


Power Strike: 6
Shield: 4
Power Throw: 6
Weapon Master: 7


One Handed: 90
Two Handed: 90
Throwing: 132

Nordic armor, heavy round shield, langes messer and 2 stacks of throwing axes

Should be fun

[Peregrino]

Thanks both of you!

Maybe would be better choose betwem 2H or 1H.

Fluffy_Muffin: Does  1H or 2H works al mele with only 90 of WP? I think it is so low: most of mele fighters have at least 130 WP.

All my best

i doubt you will be effective in 2h with 90wpp, i had 83 on my last build an i was very handicaped in 2h duel.

You wont be as effective but you need to sacrafice if you want throwing.

[Kryser]

why not just use a fighting axe with throwing axes?

Its a 1h/2h weapon fit perfectly for a nordic character.

1 slot 1h/2h mode right?
Can be used with shield!
can carry 1 slot throwing axes
and 2 slot huscarl.

And just use the other guys build,
looks perfect

You cant use huscarl with my build, not enough shield skill

Depends on your weapon. I can kill tons of guys with 1 wpf and the one-slot mace.

Use secondary mode on throwing axes.

Here is a good 1h/thrower build where you can use a Huscarl.

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    * Strength: 21
    * Agility: 15
    * Hit points: 56

    * Skills to attributes: 2

    * Ironflesh: 0
    * Power Strike: 7
    * Shield: 5
    * Athletics: 5
    * Riding: 0
    * Horse Archery: 0
    * Power Draw: 0
    * Power Throw: 7
    * Weapon Master: 5

    * One Handed: 104
    * Two Handed: 1
    * Polearm: 1
    * Archery: 1
    * Crossbow: 1
    * Throwing: 120

You can go a lightly armoured thrower with full ammo, or use a 1 slot shield with 1h and 2 sets throwing items.
You can go armoured shielder with a huscarl and 1 set of jarids. I don't feel to disadvantaged with the low 1h wpf since I use an elite scimitar.
If you hit lvl 31, you can contribute an attribute point into 2 skill points and get 3 IF. If you hit level 32, you can add another 3 IF.

You were wondering about less than 130 wpf not being too effective, with this build you cannot outspam a 2h but you can still fight pretty well. Just need to play a little defensively since slower shield...

One Handed: 100

We have a clan based around Huscarl characters and it is very effective. Some builds are posted there:

Throwing volleys soften up enemies, and our shield walls backed by a polearm or two make up for our individual lack of hitting power due to lower power attack and 1h weps. You can also make up for lower power attack and WPF by grabbing a fast, close range 1h weapon like a broad axe, to punch through tincans a piercing/blunt weapon like a hammer or pick will help.
