It's a pretty common thing to do as a newer player; basically you'd ideally want to have your stats be divisible by 3 so as to utilize an applicable skill (15 agility for 5 athletics, 18 Strength for 6 powerstrike, etc). Some builds might only want to add 1 or 2 strength just to be able to use a certain weapon (say a 4 powerstrike build wants to use an Iberian or Military Pick, they'd need 13 strength), but typically it's not advisable. In that build for example you could have turned two stats into skills for four extra points, or cut back on ironflesh to push agility to 18 with athletics at 6.

Ahh, yeah, 6 athletics would have been cool since I'm usually pretty loaded down.

My typical load out is

Novogrod helmet
Heraldic mail
leather gloves
Sarranid Mail Boots or Plated Boots

and then

Flanged mace
Jarid
Jarid
Kite Shield

So with the two jarid stacks and the shield, it's pretty good to have as much athletics as possible. All in all though, I liked the build. I didn't go crazy on the powerthrow so I could have more athletics, but with the amount of powerstrike I had, it was a pretty fun build. I could start rounds throwing and going for head shot jackpots or break shields or kill horses and then once I was out of retrievable jarids or people closed on me, I could just whip out my mace and knock people down and kill them.

I actually got a suprising amount of kills with my mace, although that has to do with the huge thrower nerf that made all my body and leg shots worthless. Before that patch I would frequently jackpot shit tier cav with accidental leg hits when I was trying to hit their horses and I could usually kill infantry with 1 or 2 good body hits. Now I have to get head shots to kill anything unless they are covered in blood already, even most naked guys can take a jarid in the back now. The other piss off is it used to be hilarious to 2 shot cav by head shotting their horse and then throwing a jarid right up their butt as they got up. Now that pretty much never does enough damage to kill anyone.

Anyway, Blueberry Muffin is offering 580k, so the loom goes to him unless someone offers up more cash real fast.
