Peasant Build

[slothscott]

I basically want to make a build that only uses equips that you would start with at lvl 1 , for example scythe and rags.
I'll either be going 27 str 9 agi or 33 str 3 agi , so that I can hopefully do dmg with one of the peasant weapons and rocks.

Would the scythe do enough damage (not to thud on people with low-med armour) with 27 or 33 str or is this build not viable?

PS: scythe is the best peasant weapon right?

duh... wrote some text, including testvalues from calculators and just at wrong moment pressed backspace resulting in it all dissabearing in pageload...

well i would guess

39/3 build (78hp)
14 convert
2 if  (with peasant clothes your going to get hurt lot, so no need to think maxing if will save you)
13 ps
1 ath
1 wm
about 114 - 116 in one wpf
still wont do all that much damage, but good start... needs quite manual block skills becouse of slow speed.

27/12 build    (74hp)
8 convert
6 if
9 ps
4 ath
4 wm
about 136-138 in one wpf
more allaround, usable with other gear when huge ammount of gold starts to annoy, "quite generic" so wont supprise all that much with huge damages or so, compared to near 40 str builds.

to get some idea of weapon damages (i myself normally use reference values of 22, 50 & 70 armor)
(22 is what can be gained from something that does really cost almost nothing to upkeep)
(50 to expensive mid - cheap high)
(70 milanese & black)
(should start using black lamellar as reference, kind of can i slay ninja with 1 hit...)

also dont forget that that wont include speed bonus, and speed bonus can be something like 50% just by running sometimes...

So it'd probably be a waste of points to invest 11 powerthrow for stones ( on the 33/3 build ) And just curious is knockdown chance affected by how much strength/ps you have?

Edit: If I was to go 39 strength what are some of the best weapons overall ( so not limited to just peasant and not barmace/iron mace)

Oh did almost forget all lovely stones... We have been talking earlier about how at point when our whole squad gets batshit insane, we all make stone powerthrowers. Heirlooming stones 3 times and making some 39/3 build with just powerthrow. Then move in group of 3-6 breaking (hopefully) peoples shields with stones, before smashing them with our lovely blunt damagetype to ground. Definetly could consider 36/3 build with PT maxed... hmm could it do damage...

well its not like mostly any of these builds with those gears would really be fun to play for more that while... but in theory yeah... why not...

Level 30
* Str: 30
* Agi: 9
* Converted: 8
* PStrike: 10
* PThrow: 10
* WM: 3

* Polearm: 104
* Throwing: 95

For the polearm, I would recommend the Staff, and you could use your Stones for throwing. Staff swings pretty fast and since you 10 PS, you hit pretty hard. Learn to manual block since you wear peasant clothing and you should be fine. Have fun with your lol-build.

EliteDragon, i was going to give him same build

PT 10 lets you snipe with rocks and hurt a lot even... tincans.

10 PT stone user here, tin cans shrug off rocks. Only hurts heads but for quite a bit as it is a headshot. If they have lower-tier but still high armor (transitional) you will damage them but not for much.

Stones are best against light armor users, and are the one of the best counter archer weapons. But they do alright vs other things

oh and scythe is not as good as pitch fork. Scythe is really slow and bad. Good luck, lowly farmer.

Yup, thats why I told him to go with Staff b/c of the knockdown bonus as well.
