Choosing my build for this gen.

[espooo]

Help me out, guy/gals.

I currently have a MW German Greatsword.
I ran 24/15 build last gen and I felt it was too slow.

I was wondering if you can help me choose a build, and maybe give some personal opinions.

21/18

(click to show/hide)

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    Strength: 21
    Agility: 18
    Hit points: 64

    Skills to attributes: 8

    Ironflesh: 4
    Power Strike: 7
    Shield: 0
    Athletics: 6
    Riding: 0
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 6

    One Handed: 1
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

Benefits of this compared to 18/21 is the ironflesh and powerstrike, but I am losing weaponmaster and athletics.

18/21

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 21
    Hit points: 59

    Skills to attributes: 8

    Ironflesh: 3
    Power Strike: 6
    Shield: 0
    Athletics: 7
    Riding: 0
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 7

    One Handed: 1
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

And this has the benefit of more athletics and weaponmaster. Less ironflesh and powerstrike.



Help me out.

Thanks,
Espo

up until 18/18, play a little and then ask yourself if your too slow or to weak.



If you wan't to dedicate yourself into 1 weapon, 21/18 could be better

[marcus]

I'm personally going almost that exact 21/18 build next gen its what i used to roll with for ages and i love it

[rustyspoon]

I'm also a fan of 21/18. You're fast enough, especially if you're wearing lighter armor. I'd rather have the slight damage increase over the slight speed increase also.

[El_Infante]

Losing weaponmaster is not an issue if you're not a hybrid. 140wps is more than enough.

[espooo]

i think i've made my decision, thanks guys.

[Anti]

You only felt slow cuz my agi build ran circle around you XD

[Myltinous]

If your new to the game (first or second gen) Agility builds can help you better recover from timing errors and can be very handy if your not that strong a manual blocking because you can use footwork to dodge swings.

One question I have to ask, is the the "too slow" referring to weapon speed or, what it probably is, movement speed from athletics? If it is the latter, I have some interesting stuff for you espo.

You retire fairly often, right?
Break the traditional mould and do something interesting one of your generations, like this:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    Hit points: 56

    Power Strike: 7
    Shield: 0
    Athletics: 7
    Riding: 0
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 3

    One Handed: 1
    Two Handed: 132
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

It is funny, you'll be fast and hit kinda hard. Although, no iron flesh isn't the best thing ever.
imo go this if you want effectiveness

You don't need WM on a non hybrid, in all honesty.
