best lvl 30 build is 21/15

best lvl 32/33 build is 24/15 or 21/18

best lvl 34/35 build is 24/21 0 WM or 21/21 or 24/18 with WM

You need 7 PS at minimum and everything else is just extra.

18/21 is fun. You just have to really watch your sweetspots, and make sure every hit nails the head.

Whether or not sacrificing a ton of IF and WM is worth +1 ath is a tough decision, however.

I played 18/21 and 18/24 (31lv) 1h  for a few generations. Now trying out 27/12. Both are good.

Agi shielders are generally a good counter for light armored fast units like archers and ninjas.

Str shielders are ok against anything except maybe cav. They're excellent in formation. Have good survivability if you invest in high armor.

My advice: If u can pull of hitting opponents face like 50 - 60% of the time, and getting 2-1 shotted by almost anyone doesn't bother you- play agi. Otherwise play str.

Or just try both builds on "skip the fun" and see what works for you :)

Imo with only 6 ps and hi agility you need another weapon that swords or you will be too long about killing anything.

Agility builds works best with picks I guess.

Maces >> Picks. Still, I've used swords a lot with 6 ps, they're good enough with it. I wouldn't recommend 1h swords with 5 ps or lower though.

This is a heavy armor 1h shielder/xbow hybrid build:

24/12
8 IF
8 PS
4 WM
4 SH
4 ATH

116 1H
90 Xbow

Slow and tanky, hits like a truck. Really good for siege if you want to bully people.

Rocking a steel pick and a plate covered round shield. You are also still capable of sniping people with 90 xbow skill, giving you overall an incredible amount of utility and usefulness.

^That works too, choice of xbow or throw is up to you. Xbow can snipe at medium-long range but at short range you just get one shot. Throwing gives you ability to drop some heavy DPS at short range and on the run, so good for gunning down runners, or horses (throw while dodgeing charge).

Throwing hybrid:  PT 4 or 5 and 90-110 throwing wpf. All your speed issues go away, you can reach out and touch someone with your throwing axes instead of running like some kind of sucker.
1h WPF is really overrated btw, don't waste a lot of points into WM, you don't need more than 100-110 wpf, WPF beyond 100 is like 1% of a factor combat, the 99% of combat is timing, precision and footwork.


24-12 hybrid (my build)
107 throw wpf
103 1h wpf
4 IF
8 PS
4 ATH
4 SHIELD
5 PT
4 WM
That suits my style and armour, you can go 4 PT, but I really like the way the 5 PT gives my heavy axes more stopping power, worth 1 IF to me, plus you can pickup jarids. The throw WPF equired heavily depends on armour, especially gloves & helm which have large WTF weight penalties.

You can do the same thing but 21-15, but I found the extra PS point (and 2 IF) worth more in  melee than 1 shield, 1 athletics and 1 WM.

i never take a spear :/ lancer cav will outreach you with your crappy wpf and you can rape them easier with a 1h. side step swing jump stab chamber etc all more effective imo

that's bs. i played an entire gen with 1h/shield and a 1 wpf war spear and never died to cav from the front. it's so easy to just stab his horse in the head it just takes a tiny bit of timing.

I see some wolfes dude with 12 str and 24 agi,he is very good. He use steel pick,hits like truck.
Kills with 2-3 hits heavy armored ppl. Unbelevable.

So i have my alt with 21str,but i don't know what weapon should i use. Iron axe with 37 cut looks nice,it is realy great when you smash other shielder shield,but i don't get some awsome score with it. Usualy it is 7:4 or 7:5 or 5:5. As shileder are u soppoused to play offensice,defensive,fight in first line or something else. I find hard fighting in first battle lines,cuz you have low reach and there is always some piker or some agi whore sneaking arround.
Also i dont know what should i use warhammer or steel pick.
Please help.

If you cant do well with iron war axe then warhammer or steel pick won't magically make you better. They are all the same style of weapon (very short range, facehugging) and it takes a while to become good at fighting with that style.

Personally, I don't think any of the axes, warhammer, or pick are very good if you do not have 6 athletics. Unless I suppose you wear light armor and have one of the lighter shields.
