Need help with 1h/thrower build

[VR__Alv]

In next gen i want to be one-hander with throwing weapon. I think my gear will be Huskarl's Shield, Nordic Champion sword and Heavy Throwing Axes. Can someone suggest a good build? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Maybe this:
Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 15
Agility: 21
Skills to attributes: 2
Ironflesh: 3
Power Strike: 5
Shield: 6
Athletics: 3
Power Throw: 5
Weapon Master: 7
One Handed: 140
Throwing: 107

or 130 one handed 120 throwing.

[VR__Alv]

[Iymore]

Enough 80 i think but you will wear armor right?

[VR__Alv]

yap i think it will be Light Kuyak

[Iymore]

go 130 one hnd 120 throwing.

[VR__Alv]

I wouldn't favour ironflesh over athletics though, especially not as a shielder. With decent movement speed you can take a mace/hammer instead of a sword to offset the rather low PS.

You could try this:

Code: [Select]

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 18

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Power Strike: 6
    Shield: 6
    Athletics: 6
    Power Throw: 6
    Weapon Master: 5

    One Handed: 111
    Throwing: 112
If you want a little more durability, you could also try this (brown lion, round, and board shield are all good 3 skill shields):

Code: [Select]

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 18

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Ironflesh: 4
    Power Strike: 6
    Shield: 3
    Athletics: 6
    Power Throw: 6
    Weapon Master: 4

    One Handed: 111
    Throwing: 98You might have to go a little light on the armor with this one.


If you feel like doing a little more damage, this would also be an option:

Code: [Select]

    Strength: 21
    Agility: 15

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Ironflesh: 2
    Power Strike: 7
    Shield: 3
    Athletics: 5
    Power Throw: 7
    Weapon Master: 5

    One Handed: 111
    Throwing: 112
Again, I think you might have to go a little light on the armor to get the full bonus from your 7 PT with this though.

If you want to consider a no-shield thrower two gens ago I was 18/21, thrower with about 140ish throwing and a 100 something one-handed and it worked out fairly well with heavy axes. If you can manually block then you can throw axes as the enemy tries to gap the distance and then switch to melee with the axe, which if you put up a good enough fight the average player tends to get scared and back off some which allows you to start throwing again until they realize what a bad idea that was.

This. Always max athletics, and don't care about the ironflesh too much. Low armour (leather etc.) with fast shield, pick/hammer and jarids/spears/throwing axes is nice, I would say.

Im afraid that that with 100- 110wpf in 1h i will be very slow

HUSKARL:  A well rounded foot soldier utilizing his namesake shield
(click to show/hide)
Strength: 21
Agility: 15
Hit points: 68
Skills to attributes: 2
Ironflesh: 6
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 5
Athletics: 2
Power Throw: 4
Weapon Master: 5
One Handed: 129
Throwing: 89


You may want to take a point or 2 off IF to get more athletics.  I'm used to fighting with clanmates so I dont need to be that fast.  Plus with throwing to threaten people who dance around you or kite/flee, not that big a deal.

Myself I prefer heavy round shield over Huscarl so I can 1 stack of javs or axes and a stack of daggers to stop lightly armored people from fleeing.

You will be able to pick up heavy axes with this build if you wear leather gloves and a medium helm.

What about completely Huskarls build? With using Nordic Warlord Helmet, Banded Armor, Scale Gauntelts , Mail boots, Huskarls Shield, Broad one handed battle axe, heavy throwing axes

Scale Gauntlets and Warlord helm mean you'll need significantly higher throwing to keep the PT4.  I dont know exactly, but I would wager somewhere between 110-125 throwing.
I've gone as high as 95 with similar gear (splinted leather greaves over mail boots) and still dont get PT4.  If you ask one of the devs in IRC they could give you the exact # needed.  If they do, please share!
