Post Your Character Builds

[Haru_Takeda]

Ideally would go only 7 ppowerdraw/powerstrike and use the extra 1 atheltics and 1 weaponmaster put all in 2h to be more effective melee as archery most ineffective class at this point.

I don't really have trouble Melee'ing with 1 wpf on my archer.  As long as you have PS so your hitting decently hard.  Just learn to manual block and have some more patience since your not swinging as fast.  Plus without putting points into melee weapon types, you have the freedom to use any type.

My Archer build is:
Level        26

Strength   18
Agility   15

One Handed   1   
Two Handed   1   
Polearm   1   
Archery   142   
Crossbow   1   
Throwing   1

Ironflesh   0   
Power Strike   6   
Shield   0   
Athletics   5   
Riding   0   
Horse Archery   0   
Power Draw   6   
Power Throw   0   
Weapon master *   5

I am putting the rest into Strength and PS/PD.  I haven't thought much about the extra points I have, but probably just throw them into Iron Flesh.

I use a Strong bow, Bodikins, and usually a Longsword or Elegant Poleaxe. White Tunic over Mail, Lamellar gloves, and Bride Shoes
I am thinking about trying a Kherg bow when my PD gets to 7 and buying some heavier gloves.

[Bothersome_Aldryk]

My level 30 build on my main, Bothersome_Aldryk_RS is a pure poker, Masterwork Awlpike, Balanced Pike, with the occasional backup swinging weapon if I'm worried about crushthrough. I'm only 29 currently, but the differences are minimal. Previously my pike/awlpike builds were heavy strength but this gen I'm trying a bit more of an agi focus. Next gen I'll probably experiment with shield or a 21/21 build. The reason for the low WM is that I've generally found stats to be more useful to me than 30ish WPF. I may play around with WM in a gen or two to see if it makes a difference.

[Socrates]

My experimental 1h-STR build. The guy hits like a truck for a 1h and sturdy. I can take a lot of hits wearing mid armor and especially high 20k armors. Although not very good in situations against more than 1 person as you have no footwork to utilize. Going for 31 and retiring. My end build will be 9 IF/ 9 PS. Fun to play as I can use throwing lances with shields and do a lot of damage at the same time with my melee.

[Count_RisArch]

Hey ho, me again. This is my current build. Thought i'd give high agility a crack after trying (and failing) at playing an archer...

Banded Armor                       Heavy Bastard Sword (+2)
Scale Gauntlets                     Long Dagger (for looks!)
Mail Boots                             Old Heater Shield (for battle mode only)
Nordic Warlords Helmet        Total Cost: 32609

To be honest its pretty darn effective even when decked out in my heavy gear. The 8 athletics I'll have soon will allow me to hop around like a ballerina on meth and my weapon speed will be a nice blur of steely destruction but I think i'm a strength favoring man. This is mainly because the high speed and (relativley) low damage of the HBS make me pine for my 7 PS build of old. Wouldn't go as far as to say its overpowered mind but if you favour footwork and speed over raw damage then I'd definitley use this build again.

Gona try a strength heavy build next time as 15 athletics is more than enough for me to hop about in this clobber...something along the lines of...

Str:24 
Agi:15

IF:8
PS:8
ATH:5
WM:2

2h:125

The low WM is fine by me as my HBS will have 100 speed after the next hierloom and the 20 or so WPF I miss out on won't make a vast difference (in theory) Looking forward to hitting like a freight train next retirement, plus if it all goes tits up I can always retire early (like my failed archer) After this (if i make it that far  ) Gona try an 18/21 balanced build. Then I may give a polearm/halfsword build a try, for the lulz. Truely the amount of variation one can achieve while playing the same class is staggering but I'm determined to find my ultimate bastard...swordsman build!

I use a Balanced Steel Pick (+2). I converted once too many times with this build.  Otherwise I would probably do 5 in IF and Shield.

This is my Crossbow/One Handed build.

Strength: 15
Agility: 24

One Handed: 129
Crossbow: 136

Power Strike: 5
Shield: 5
Athletics: 5

Pretty well balanced, I think.

Khergit bow with bodkins (Strong bow after 31)
Longsword
Some random armor, usually light.

Weapon master 8 was a total waste. The difference between 163 and 172 wpf was unnoticeable with khergit bow. A bit better with strong bow but still not worth it.

Overall I'm not very satisfied with this build. I will probably retire and heirloom khergit bow and go for 7 power draw with the next character.

I am currently trying this for retirement

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

* Strength: 21
* Agility: 18

My archer build:

Level 30

    Strength: 21
    Agility: 18
    Hit points: 56

    Converted: 8
    Power Strike: 4
    Athletics: 6
    Power Draw: 7
    Weapon Master: 6

    Polearm: 50
    Archery: 150

This is a "pure" archer build. You could min-max PD or WM/archery further if you drop all PS and wait until level 31 to complete the build, but I sincerely doubt it's worth it. If you're willing to wait until level 31 to get 21/18 attributes you can have 7 PS, which might be worth it. I get a surprising number of kills with my polearm, and a 7 PS awlpike does terrible terrible damage to faces.

[zagibu]

1h / Polearm hybrid:

    * Strength: 14
    * Agility: 24
    * Hit points: 49

    * Converted: 6
    * Power Strike: 4
    * Shield: 5
    * Athletics: 8
    * Weapon Master: 8

    * One Handed: 132
    * Polearm: 132


I'd change it to this next time, as 1 more power strike would help me greatly, I think:

    * Strength: 15
    * Agility: 24
    * Hit points: 50

    * Converted: 8
    * Power Strike: 5
    * Shield: 4
    * Athletics: 6
    * Weapon Master: 8

    * One Handed: 132
    * Polearm: 132


Next gen, I'm going to try this:

    * Strength: 33
    * Agility: 9
    * Hit points: 68

    * Converted: 14
    * Power Strike: 11
    * Athletics: 3
    * Weapon Master: 3

    * Polearm: 132

Not sure yet if I'm going for 2h or pole...with great long bardiche, I'd do 44 - 71 dmg against armor 40. Could be fun.
