My new 2h Build

[BlackMilk]

I am running a gen without any IF and I have to admit, that I don't really like it (yet). You go down so freakin fast especially now that I only have 15 str. will See how it works when I pass Level 25

I think 7 IF is a must for me personally since i have always played with 8 IF -_-

Could just use skip the fun and test a build with and without IF and see which you prefer.  I have alts for when I'm bored of one play style I can just switch to an alt rather than waiting to retire a current build.  Not as efficient for getting heirloom points but I really only play to have fun   

None of my current builds have IF though, doesn't seem like that big of a hindrance, maybe I get killed in 2 hits instead of 3 or 1 instead of 2.  I just see it as incentive to become better at blocking; I'd rather hit harder or move faster than rely on being able to take a little more damage.

luks really clouse to mine XD . It is a nice bild , you are capable of 1h kills and still moving fast . Before my las retiremet I use 21/21 even whit full plate run really fast and hit hard .

The point of more IF is to take a few extra arrows. Since with this kind of build you're not carrying a shield it really helps. There's also no point in more WPF unless you are wearing plate. With 6 WM instead of 3, you're only increasing your swing speed by like .02 seconds and it only does an extra point or two of damage at most. I'd rather be able to take a few extra arrows.

i've been thinking about this.

tbh if your light armour agi is pretty useless and you can stick to 0 wm, but for my main I want heavy armour so I think I do need wm.

21/18 or 18/21 at lvl 30 with 8 skill points to 4 attr

then at 31 you convert 1 attr to 2 skill points and go up 3 points in IF.

PS: yeah no hp sucks, I had that lvl 30 ninja with 9 str/30 agil no IF and it was worse than most peasants, speed bonus is barely noticable, pain in the ass to grind to 31.

Please encourage more people to use 0 ironflesh in their builds, so they are a guaranteed one hit kill to my lance

7 IF in medium/heavy armor will help you survive quite a few more arrows or friendly hits and about 2 (or even 3) melee hits. I'd say that's quite a lot.

Get some lordly armour and lordly gloves and you can wear medium armour with well over 60 body armour. Couple that with 7 IF and you can take quite a beating.
