seen here mainly strength based builds.

here is a agi build for the change,
u should use it with light armor.


Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    Strength: 9
    Agility: 27

    Converted: 2
    Ironflesh: 0
    Power Strike: 3
    Shield: 9
    Athletics: 9
    Weapon Master: 8

    One Handed: 173
    Polearm:
--------------------------

Fixed, your build didn't include 9 skills before even tho 27:3=9

My current build with Steel Shield, but agi is SO underpowered, that even I will most likely switch to 12/24.

i asumed as he asked for advice, that he would be new to 1h/shield and gave the 2 IF deliberatly. I for myself havent got any IF if i go with agi builds.

But you had 27 agi points, you didnt have 9 skills tho, and you still converted some points to have 27 agi? Stupid.

If you don't want to have 9 skills, why do you want to CONVERT points to get higher agi only?

Then 12/24 is much better choice.

Depends on shield... I use Steel Shield because:

+ style
+ resistance (I wouldn't use it, if i hadn't 9 shield skill, which raises resistance by 10%/skill point)
+ quite nice hp (maybe not best about guys with big axes, but it's perfect counter to people with weapons WITHOUT bonus against shields)
+ it's heavy - I don't care about bar mace and long iron mace, on the other hand people with heavy enough weapons (long maul, great maul) are too slow to get me - 9 athletics ftw.

There are few - :

- it's heavy. not only it slows me down in moving, but it's heavy and you feel it - you can't use it to feint, too low shield's speed. but shield skill and athletics speed up both moving speed and shield raising speed.
- to be used properly, you need high shield skill. otherwise you don't get anything more than usually - well, if you want to use it with 6 shield skill and 6 athletics, good bye. look prev point.

Steel Shield has no style.
Buckler has style.

you are correct about that  :oops: i still didn't  get rid of the pre-pre-patch thinking where weapon speed was dependent on agi directly.

Option 3

Level 30
Strength: 21
Agility: 15
Hit points: 70
Converted: 2
Ironflesh: 7
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 5
Athletics: 5
Weapon Master: 5
One Handed: 148

I tried the 24, If 8 and ps 8 and it was fun to play but my favourite build for a 1 hander + shield is option 3.  The extra speed and wpf and shield make it a touch better then the 24, IF 8, PS8.
