STF

[darmaster]

please helpcould we please bring STF cap at level 31? most builds are complete at level 31 if not all; this would advanplease helptage the occasional players like meself (not true but my main is dead please help) and it'd go along with the new tournaments restrictions (with which i agree, actually i'd put a no looms restriction too but whatever it's already more than enough to me). i don't want to look like a begplease helpgar but it'd really be nice to all of us STF users. also it might populate servers even more C:  please help

I think lv 30 is perfect for STF.  You are getting free levels for pete's sake.

at level 30 you can't make any good 1h shielder build apart from 18 18; the perfect level cap is 31, every 2h/pole build fits perfectly at 31 (e.g. 21 18 7 IF 7 PS 6 ath 6 wpm)

Hmm, I've been playing shielder all my life (well 3 years) and there are in fact many good builds at level 30!  18/18 is a good balanced build...but you can also do:

21/15 (5 ath is enough)
15/21 (5 PS is enough, use a blunt/pierce)
and my favorite:
21/18 (If you have nice armor, you don't need IF as much)

So, depending on your equipment and if you have looms, you can easily do 4 builds!  You can also have success with more extreme builds, but these are tried and true.

21 18 with 4 shield skill is none sense; also I don't use those filthy looms so no, there's not enough armor to lrotect me neither enough weapon damage

If you're playing with a shield, your shield can easily take place of ironflesh. 21-18 is a perfectly acceptable build for shielder at level 30.

I don't use IF on any of my characters. I figure if I'm getting hit, I've make a mistake. Easy way to not use IF: don't get hit!

Of course, it doesn't work all the time on my character, since I'm a strength swashbuckler that attracts tons of ranged fire, but with a shield, you've no excuse for getting hit!
