Melee build for high ping

[mithrils]

Well im from Argentina so i have high ping (around 180) and im playing with Bow mostly because of that, but id love to go melee too, i tried a 2h melee build but it doesnt work for me, cant block properly and my attacks have delay when i release the click so i suck pretty bad. Maybe a 1h with shield build might suit me, any build you guys recommend? or a proxy that can lower my ping perhaps?

I sometimes play on the EU servers (~190 ping) with the (long) awlpike and a balanced 18/21 build.  Stick with the team and poke.

[mithrils]

yeah i was thinking that too, long awlpike or double sided lance? also i saw a pretty good build 21/15 maybe ill try that... any more suggestions?

[oohillac]

I'd say the long awlpike, more damage, length, glitchy wiggles.

[mithrils]

also awlpike ( not long ) seems nice, what about the build? 21/15 7ps, 7if, 5ath, 5 shield, 5 wm ( 2 skill to atributes )

[oohillac]

Personally I'd go with 21/18 with 6 ath 6 WM  7 ps and 4 IF

5 ath is a little slow

If you got a high ping, i would suggest you to choose a long weapon.
Maybe a hoplite kind of build (shield+spear), since its really hard to make manual blocks against lightning fast hits.
