I really enjoy my strength builds.

What is everyone's opinion on using ironflesh with it? Obviously, a lot of IF is a great complement to this build. But do people feel it is necessary?

[ThePoopy]

yes

It becomes useful when you have money but don't need to buy anything so you use heavier armor and last more alive.

[Paroxysm]

I'd rather have another level of powerstrike than IF, personally. But I guess if your build has leftover points (which is inefficient but necessary in some builds) its a good dump, better than shield for a 2hand/polearm as I find they're not worth the massive extra weight.

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    * Strength: 36
    * Agility: 3
    * Hit points: 93

    * Converted: 8
    * Ironflesh: 11
    * Power Strike: 11
    * Weapon Master: 1

    * Two Handed: 118


I'm trying this build at the moment. I'm lvl 26 and it's pretty funny. But i regret the point in Weapon Master, since it allows me to go from 113 to 118 wpf. I should have put it eslewhere. Next gen i'll try same build with an Heavy Great Long Bardiche (heirloomed once).

Strength 24 
Agility 15

5 IF
8 PS
5 ath
5 wpm

i use a german sword and sometimes barmace etc and i can crush through most things with a mallet. I probably should go for 12 agi but i wanted more athletics so i could run away from scary parre

What's the point of 36 strength if only 11 PS and 11 IF? did you mean 33 lol?

[Prentyss]

No no i meant 36

But 3 more points in Force make 3 more HP and a bit more damage, since 3 agi make nothing.

And i shouldn't have put 1 pt in WM, since it gives me only 5 wpf (118 for 113) so i could have put it in PS


ah, and by the way, this build is totaly viable

What he meant was that 36 str would allow 12 IF and 12 PS. You have only 11 in both.

[Casimir]

The real str build is 36str with 11 IF and 12 PS clearly he made a mistake.

[Prentyss]

Not possible, not enough skill points. 11 / 12 or 12 / 11, because you need to turn 8 skill points in carac points 8 + 12 + 11 = 31

Perfectly possible, just not at level 30. Get to level 31 and Presto!

What I meant was that you could've taken the 12th rank of a skill and you didn't.

[Prentyss]

yes that's true.

It's my first try on this build, so i won't make same error twice ;)
