to go 21-18 you have to sacrifice too much as a shielder for most people to want to play it.

21-15 would let you have 7if 7ps 5shield 5ath 5wpm 21-18 you could have what 0if 7ps 5shield 6ath 5wpm

To me the gains from getting 1 extra to shield ath or wpm isnt enough to sacrifice all the IF.


unless ofc you going for 3or 4 shield but to me its not worth it.

I suppose, if you're going for a level 30 build.

well most builds are based on lvl 30

just play whatever your good with man. these players there talking bout being the best have all the same shit in common, just fast weapons.  ive beaten them all as a sheilder and of course i lost to them tooo.  if you wanna kill alot go with fast weapons. i love the heavy hitting  slow ones tho. thatsn just my style man. so play whatever you think is fun! altho i must say balbaroath has great footwork as well

ive been running around with a warhammer and doing pretty well on eu1 my warhammer loves leshma ^^ but now i also love the long espada. i think i need to earn some gold and use both ;D

[Leshma]

well most builds are based on lvl 30

Mine is based on lvl 36

21/15, normal 7IF build. Played 9 gens with it so far. Whoever claims IF is wasted on a shielder has never been hit by steel or missiles from "helpful" teammates.

Sarranid cavalry sword. 105 weapon reach plus the +19 (or whatever) for the right to left lets you outreach most players, either because they swing too late or simply because your range IS superior.

All comes down to what you like. Low agility is far from ideal for 1on1 situations, but when you can one- or two-hit four people in a mob, while blocking three strikes at once, it's fun.

This gen im 18-18 and playing around with warhammer and long espada. think ill def go 21-15 next gen

I like 21/15 build or even 24/12 build, I find 4 athletics is usually enough if you don't let yourself fall into someone's backpeddle trap.

I think the langes messer is an underrated 1h.  33 cut swings (MW 36) 98 speed (99) 92 reach, you can do a good bit of hurt with 7 or 8 PS and some speed bonus.   Also the weapon looks fantastic.

I might start investing in a military cleaver, MW 38 cut swings is essentially 2H damage.

I might have to consider a 21/18 shield build at some point though... seems interesting.

Shield + Warspear. Its funny how many people underestimate it. They just keep swinging, expecting to be faster.

I see way more lange messer than war cleavers on the servers. And yes, the stats are good, 23 pierce damage for a cutting weapon is pretty high and 92 lenght is enough to do well with. There's not really a big disadvantage comparing to other swords.
