Unusual fighting styles

[Keltesh]

On my alt, Stickler, I am pure str with only IF and PS (30 str, 10 IF/PS atm).

I will regularly switch into full plate and use the meat cleaver.  Hilarious kills ensue.

[Teeth]

My char has 27 agi and sometimes I pick armor under 7.5 so I have no decrease in speed and wpf and select my quarterstaff. Thats just ridicoulously fast.

[Philosiraptor]

I have a char i just retired, that i got to level 31 Without any Skills, Wpf. Or attribute points. I got about 20 kills the whole time, each one....epic.

[Dravic]

Hmm...

Nemeth has an alt char, that has 9/30 str/agi build, 3ps, 10wm, 10 athletics and uses long dagger.


He says that he can even manage to get some kills with blocking only by chamber and running around opponent.

Because he is FAST. Not fast in the way you know someone can be fast, like running fast for few sec or so. He is fast.

I saw it. He runs around battlefield, choses opponent, comes, try to get a hit, if he FAILS to get a hit, he run out of enemy's range BEFORE enemy strike back. Awesome to see.

Long dagger weight is only 0,3. If i were him, i'd go for his whole eq weight < 1kg, should be as fast as naked ;D

I build ladder towers 3 ladders high and do kamikaze falling attacks on enemy archers.  I actually have quite a high success rate on hitting someone, I've just never killed anyone doing it.  Speed bonus is bullshit.  That or the character I do it on is a one-hander without a shield and only 6 power strike.

It's a shame jumping from a high height doesn't accelerate you much, I was thinking about doing something like jumping off roofs for speed bonus but it makes almost no difference.

When you stay under 6 weight of total equipment your character is exactly as fast as naked. WaltF4 explained somewhere that because head and hand armor weight is multiplied this number is about 7.5 in Crpg.

But you can surprise the enemy from behind, even with your HP loss, it is a very honourable sacrifice.
The backstabs won't be honourable though xD

and the epicness more than makes up for the occasional mis jump imo. Most epic jump of mine was when I jumped from the top of a ladder over an enemy's head, spun around mid air and 1 hit overheaded him before falling to my death.

[Polobow]

I've had a lot of weird characters. The hardest to get kills with was my pure shielder (not fake pure like all those who take a weapon and armor). Currently standing alone 5m before their melee line, shooting their archers.

Do you mean a hoplite? Atleast you can work defensively with offense, too. Just a shield isn't really usefull :/

Nah, four shields. Yep, it's not very effective, but it was for the duel server anyway.

[Wulzzz]

I got a maul cav with like 8 PS atm.Gonna be 10 PS at lvl 30.
With courser at full speed it 1 hits or almost 1 hits shielders who hold their shields up.. just crushes through like cheese.
The  range is kinda low that's why i use sarranid horse mostly.Makes it much easier to hit people who want to move away.

Really fun against people who constantly run around holding their huscarl shield up.

I forgot his name, but there use to be a guy with an awl pike and steel shield who did almost exclusively spin thrusts.

[Bobthehero]

1 hander with 0 shield skill and a heavy str based build.

Fucken love it, been using it since way before the upkeep patch

Bothersome Aldryk aka Aldryk of Chaos now?

[Bothersome_Aldryk]

Pish, although I used almost exclusively spin thrusts, I have never owned a steel shield.
