6PD is really helpfull with throwing weapons.

BTW - better take 6 PT, because this «noob» doesnt read carefully his «advice» before posting

G'day.

For a pure katana build I'd recommend 15 str and 24 agi with maxed PS, WM and ATH. Rest of the points in IF. If you're feeling like trying nodachi at some point you can convert IF points to 1 str, because Nodachi has 16 str requirement.

Another good build is 18 str and 21 agi with maxed PS, WM and ATH. Rest of the points in IF.

If you are going to go with one of the build Khorin suggests I would make it either 15/27 or 18/24 with three points in weapon master.

Khorin's 2nd build is what i'm using but with HBS.

Nowadays with all the arrows flying around, I'm trying out switching the 3 IF at level 30 to 3 in Shield Skill though: it's to bring a board with me on the battlefield and hopefully have a better survival rate (same can be done with a Katana, but does not look as cool, heheh). I'm not very good, but it's the best build I've used so far, I'm almost on a positive KD ratio at level 25! - I had issues getting that at level 30 previously ;)

This is what it'll look like at level 30:

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 21
    Hit points: 53

    Skills to attributes: 8

    Power Strike: 6
    Shield: 3
    Athletics: 7
    Weapon Master: 7

    Two Handed: 163
   
I used to use a Katana sometimes, but ended up looming my sweet HBS (cheaper to repair, and very similar in play style from my experience).

PS - Right now, I'm not crying over not having IF - I have a feeling that skill is gimped.

Cheers,

Yea, i'll try something like 16/23 cuz of nodachi for the future. And, yep, no way shield with katana .
