Need some advice (maybe impossible atm)

[GuiKa]

  I'm almost 31 (1M left so 1-2 days) and i'll go for my 2nd gen, and i want to be an hybrid ranged/mele but, a not based str one because :
-i want to use a katana with at least 120 wpf (because of close range and fast weapon, i love close range weapon)
-i want to be able to kill at mid-long range (bow/xbow/accurate throwing like dagger,shuriken,axes)
  But all ranged things need str based  .

Bow : i heard that 4PD bow really suxx atm, and you need 18 str to be a viable ranged with warbow (or strong bow).

XBow : This is probably the best things for my build, i would use a heavy xbow but there's no synergie at all with the gameplay i want  .
Can you imagine a ninja with a magnum sniper ? firing a thing every 3-4 sec ? D:

Throwing : An hybrid thrower, something like 4 PT and 140 wpf, but i heard that wpf mean nothing for throwing and throwing are only good with massive PT. This bad synergie beetween throwing and agi is really weird =/ a ninja with shuriken sound fun.

Conclusion : I want to be a ranged with 12 str and 24 agi  Bow : not enought damage (want this)
                                                                                            XBow : not fun at all
                                                                                            Throwing : 4PD is not enought as wpf is sh*****t with throwing (or want this)
  The point i'm not sure :
-Is bow with 4 PD really suxx ?
-Is heavy Xbow with 140 wpf is slow to reload ?
-Are throwing things like shuriken are useless with 4PT and 140 wpf ?
-Is chadz will change something about that in the next patch ?

sigh... another hybrid incoming.

You want to be a ninja? be a ninja. Forget about bows and xbows and throw shurikans with minimal PT - they are meant to annoy and disturb only and can still hurt people in pajamas.

Hm... you cant be ranged/melee hybrid with a lot of agi athletics etc. and still be able to "snipe". I would suggest you this build, its very nice hybrid:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 12
Agility: 27
Hit points: 49
Converted: 8
Ironflesh: 1
Power Strike: 4
Shield: 0
Athletics: 9
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 9
One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 130
Polearm: 1
Archery: 1
Crossbow: 150
Throwing: 1

With:

Melee weapon with up to 12 req, Crossbow/Heavy Crossbow (what you like) and armor is your choice, tho i would go for something lighter/b] than lamellar. Lamellar isnt "ninja armor" as it is now: it is too heavy, decreases speed and acceleration too much for me. I would go for pilgrim, but you might like Lamellar anyway.


OR

You can try this extreme close range/melee hybrid:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 9
Agility: 30
Hit points: 44
Converted: 8
Ironflesh: 0
Power Strike: 3
Shield: 0
Athletics: 10
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 10
One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 130
Polearm: 1
Archery: 1
Crossbow: 162
Throwing: 1

Light Crossbow, Katana. These are two most important things. LC reload speed with that amount of WPF is enough to reload really fast, 10 athletics let you facehug and 130 wpf in 2h already allows you to swing fast enough.

  Thanks Dravic for your advice, i'll probably go for  a xbow with 12 str.

[Murchad]

24STR
12AGI
5IF
8PD
8PS
4ath
4WM - all 2h

if you want to avoid the Xbow I would suggest this.
use really light gear and your 4ath should be enough (ath does not increase running speed just how fast you get up to speed)
