A good 2H build + Ranged

[Jdodds99]

Can someone please help me find a good 2H build. I may also want a type of ranged combat to use for balanced fighting. At the moment I am level 19 and have; Strength 12, Agility 11.

If ranged combat is not a good idea to mix with 2H then do not worry about trying to include it in a stat build thanks.

Depends on how much PD you wish for I suppose, but this ought to be a fairly sturdy build:

Strength: 18
Agility: 21
Skills to attributes: 8
Power Strike: 4
Athletics: 6
Power Draw: 6
Weapon Master: 7
Two Handed: 107
Archery: 140


A PD=5 alternative being:

Strength: 15
Agility: 24
Skills to attributes: 8
Power Strike: 4
Athletics: 6
Power Draw: 5
Weapon Master: 8
Two Handed: 109
Archery: 150

2H would be more important. But is archery best to mix with this 2H build then?

I'm currently playing this build:

Strength: 18
Agility: 18
Skills to attributes: 2
Ironflesh: 5
Power Strike: 6
Athletics: 6
Power Draw: 6
Weapon Master: 6
Two Handed: 114
Archery: 123


Gear being a katana, yumi, barbed arrows, and a mix of light, normal, and heavy strange armour. It's a rus/longbow capable build, that is a very capable melee fighter, but only a mediocre archer, but it's good enough to at least keep enemy archers busy, and put some arrows into cavalry.

Occasionally I bring the nodachi with the bow, but due to repair costs and my economy it's not an everyday thing.

works good with heavy bastard sword \ hornbow \ tatar arrows

100 wpf is enough for fast 2H weapon. If you feel slow - better make pure 2H for a gen. Just to understand how 15\21 works.
140+ is enough for 5PD bow. Even better with 150+, but do not expect dramatical icrease of efficiency.
