Polearm Build!

[ponyboy]

Making my first polearm build finally at gen13.  I dont know what weapon im aiming for yet, but debating between 18/21 or 21/18, and perhaps putting 2 shieldskill in for some survivability vs ranged, and i have medium armor.

Thoughts or recommendations?

Do you have an MW polearm? If not, I'd recommend the 21/18 build.

You are able to use all polearms at 18 str so if u go 18/21 you will be able to catch some archers also.

It's a question of what do you prefer, agility or strength.

I personally like the 21/18

6 ath gives you a good amount of acceleration and a nice top speed even in heavier armors, and 7 IF and 7 PS hits hard enough that even full plate feels it while giving you a very nice amount of survivability.

no mw poles : /, 2 shield or think its not worth it?

Personally I am a huge fan of having 3 points in shield for my polearm build, it will save you so much hassle (but this is on NA, EU is a bit different).

27/15 was awesome for me combined with a high damage polearm you can 1 hit kill a lot of players with it.
9 power strike 5 athletics 3 if and your all set.
Don't recommend this if your footwork isn't very good

I'm running 18/18 with 5 WM.  Works beautifully, does everything I want.  Can pick up/bring strong shields for danger zones.
