Legio_Bodyguard

planned build:

Level 31 (8 892 403 xp)

    Strength: 21
    Agility: 21
    Hit points: 56

    Skills to attributes: 12

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

    One Handed: 1
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 165
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

main weapon: Pike or Long Spear
secondary weapon: Great Long Axe or German Poleaxe
armor: medium tier... heraldic tunic over mail or similar (speed is king when you need to take distance or fall back when outnumbered.)

support pikeman. is really good in supporting attack and defense, holding thrusts and releasing them on a already engaged target. can score kills, but the primary objective is to stun charging damage dealers while your mates finish em off. near useless in 1vs1 situation, always need a backup GLA / Glaive / Poleaxe when fighting alone. glaive with 165 wpf and medium armor, can almost stunlock.

really funny build in groups. helps a lot the first line, from a safer position, unmatched against cavalry. medium armor and zero IF make the build squishy. not intended to use it as first line infantry.

Just made it tonite, we'll see how it works out, but since I was already happy with 24/17, I guess it will do just fine.

If all fails, I still got that Great Maul somewhere in my shed....

The fucking fuck? Does this actually work on horseback well, I mean you can only do so much with three fucking riding, but still, this looks like a pretty hilarious build to one shot people with an Espada. Right now I'm trying 24/12, basically the same thing with 8PS and then 4's rather than 3's in the other stats.

[Bobthehero]

With the horse speed bonus the weaker long espada slash should work wonders, good speed and reach will help a lot as well.

What would you guys say about this sort of a build for a lvl30 archer?

    Strength: 21
    Agility: 18
    Hit points: 56

    Skills to attributes: 8

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

    One Handed: 1
    Two Handed: 80
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 145
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

Probably would use a langes messer as a backup 2h. I guess you could make the build into a 18/21, if athletics is important enough for running away.
Should I ask for some gold if I trade my mw german for some bow? Frankly, I just find 2h to be unfun to play atm in crpg, duels are a snoozefest and the thrust is just bad.
Also wondering what is the current consensus on how the bows match up, I take that yami might actually not be that good due to the missile speed. What about the Rus bow? I'd probably take another quiver than slightly better half the shots.
Help me decide, please.

langer messer OR the imo better military sickle. athletics is a must if you want a pure archer. if you plan to switch melee when engaged without running, you can lower athletics to 4 and rise powerstrike to 6. BUT for melee/ranged hybrids i would go with a 18/21 for 7WM that gives you 145 archery and 102 2handed. with light armor like studded leather (5 kgs) you retain your full 145 archery and 102 melee wpf.

another funny hybrid build would be:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

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

    * Skills to attributes: 8

    * Ironflesh: 0
    * Power Strike: 5
    * Shield: 0
    * Athletics: 5
    * Riding: 0
    * Horse Archery: 0
    * Power Draw: 5
    * Power Throw: 0
    * Weapon Master: 8

    * One Handed: 1
    * Two Handed: 120
    * Polearm: 1
    * Archery: 145
    * Crossbow: 1
    * Throwing: 1

although is more rewarding with a xbow for the pierce damage. take a look at this:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    * Strength: 12
    * Agility: 30
    * Hit points: 47

    * Skills to attributes: 14

    * Ironflesh: 0
    * Power Strike: 4
    * Shield: 0
    * Athletics: 3
    * Riding: 0
    * Horse Archery: 0
    * Power Draw: 0
    * Power Throw: 0
    * Weapon Master: 10

    * One Handed: 1
    * Two Handed: 145
    * Polearm: 1
    * Archery: 1
    * Crossbow: 150
    * Throwing: 1

crossbow, bolts, miaodao. the really high AGI helps your running speed with the converted ATH skill points. you should have the same running speed of 5-6 ath.

Thanks for the input, I'm probably going to go for the balanced 18/21 build, I'm kind of unsure how to balance athletics vs powerstrike though. 4:6? 5:5? 6:4? sigh
As for weapon, I'll probably use the mace (quite conveniently 1slot) or langes messer (I have a preferrence towards swords(nice and phallic)).
Can anyone tell me how the bows match up at the moment? I guess that would be the most important thing, also wondering if archers in battles usually spend all their arrows if they go for 2 quivers.
