scythe build

[isatis]

hi all, I need help!

I just got a commoner scythe

and I need a cool awesome built to go with it!

Commoner's Scythe
Polearm, no requirements
Speed: 84Length: 182

Thrust: 15 pierce
Swing: 28 cut
Weight: 3 kg
Slots: 2
no sheath

so, a friend of mine (the ancient owner of this beauty) suggested a 3/36 built... I love the idea as I'm a fan of extreme build (42/3 30/9 9/30 12/27etc) but I would maybe like some other idea on it.

so here some built I've tought of :

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 3
Agility: 36
Skills to attributes: 8
Power Strike: 1 (0)
Athletics: 12
Weapon Master: 10 (11)
Polearm: 190 (199)


Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 12
Agility: 27
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 1
Power Strike: 4
Athletics: 9
Weapon Master: 9
Polearm: 182


OR an hybrid :

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 12
Agility: 24
Skills to attributes: 2
Ironflesh: 1
Power Strike: 4
Shield: 8
Athletics: 8
Weapon Master: 8
One Handed: 134
Polearm: 134

or, complete switch : a strength crutcher

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 27
Agility: 12
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 6
Power Strike: 9
Athletics: 4
Weapon Master: 4
Polearm: 140

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 30
Agility: 9
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 7
Power Strike: 10
Athletics: 3
Weapon Master: 3
Polearm: 133


or a strange hybrid

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 24
Agility: 12
Skills to attributes: 2
Ironflesh: 5
Power Strike: 8
Shield: 4
Athletics: 4
Riding: 4
Weapon Master: 4
One Handed: 106
Polearm: 107


basically, I want a fun built, I would love agi more, but try hard on making me turn str side.

any other buil is accepted!

evel 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Agility: 15
Skills to attributes: 8
Power Strike: 8
Shield: 5
Athletics: 5

Strength: 24
Agility: 15
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 5
Power Strike: 8
Athletics: 5

?

for me, with my usual 90 ping,  difference between 110 and 150 is not that high

[Herkkutatti]

Pure pole, IF is more important than shieldskill !

Pure pole, IF is more important than shieldskill !

well, but how could I use my cool espada eslavona now?

By not being gay with a scythe, not to mention bordering to useless.

hi bjord

may I reminder you with what wep this tournament was won?

I think somebody got killed by a scythe here

[Bjord]

1 v 1; moot comparison. Especially when you are asking for advice on battle specific builds. Only a fool would design a build purely for duel, unless it was a STF character.

[isatis]

I know, but I couldn't resist making you ''rage'' a bit

this is mainly why I wanted to make a hybrid : the scythe to jerk a bit and make QQ the spada + shield for true battle fighting

[Bjord]

I only ever rage in-game. 

[isatis]

yeah.. I think I'm a total autistic guy that cannot seek out emotion of other people...

bah.


we should erase all this of our memory and be friend, I'll send you a rainbow cookie of friendship!

Good luck man - 3/36 would be really funny to see, and you'll actually penetrate people, but it might be frustrating to be so fragile, unless you're playing attacker on siege or somethin.

27/12 would be a legitimately powerful character though - you would hardly notice you're using a peasant weapon.  Nasty right swings paired with gimpy pike support, and you'll catch people off guard and probably be really successful.  Mostly use held right swings and you'll be golden.

*edit* can even skip WM altogether and max your IF, and give yourself 1 or 2 shield skill if you wanted to go that route.

If 1-Handed is definitely secondary compared Polearm, then I'd personally only put 50 points into 1-Hand (for a total of 51).  It'll only equate to 5 less points in Polearms.  Having 51 (compared to 1) will allow for about 5 more damage (if opponent is lightly armored).  And 50 more WPF is at least a decent speed advantage.  And it takes over 130 WPF points to go from 51 to 100 WPF.  I'd use those 130+ points to go an extra 15 or more WPF in Polearms.

Weapon Master: 5

One Handed: 51
Polearm: 143

You should ask TommyYYY. He has an alt (Quick Scythe) with an Elders one. I think his build was 9 str, rest in agi (think its 30).

[oohillac]

and you'll actually penetrate people,

oh lawd I lol'd

Anyway, I'd say go for strength.  The scythe overhead was 1-shotting people on my 27/12 build.
