I wouldnt call myself experienced, tho i manage most of the times unless its a tincan or knockdown, or both...I usually just jump in the middle of 3-4 ppl and circle around them. I survive, most of the time anyway. :)
If by any chance i go 18/21, could the 7 ATH be sufficient to chase archers/xbowers?

tip : respec and buy a great danish lightsabre
Whats that? Danish greatsword? I had a 2handed character as 1st gen.

go 21/15 or 24/15 like a pro. Get heavy armor and turtle untill someone makes mistake and then smash it in face with hammer or mw sword.
Turtle? I dont want shields :).

Thought your'e going with shield.

Without shield you can do: 15/24 18/21 21/18 24/14 and so on.

I'm 15/21 this gen, almost lv31.  It's my 1st time trying this build and its fun.  The speed IS a great asset.  I can wear heavyish armor and a shield that weighs 8.5 and still go faster than many people, maneuver well, and take on several enemies at once and (sometimes) win.

You'll definitely want a MW weapon.  I'm using a MW KAS and the high athletics lets me use its length to my advantage.  However, the drop in damage compared to a blunt or pierce weapon takes some getting used to.  If I use a pick or something it's awesome fun. :)

Just my experience...your mileage may vary!

I have 8 ath on my main and it's not really enough for catching most archers because they either work together or have more ath. Also, going for archers isn't smart thing to do.

1h is one of the hardest weapons to be effective with in that you really have to refine the raw speed bonus with properly landed hits in the correct timing of the animation. When I attempt to connect a hit, I visualize a hard hit(or a series of unpredictable feints) that is also visually appealing. If you just swing without further thought, you will become predictable and quickly spammed. A good duelist/player will spot someone who doesn't use his wits to fight in a few seconds and spam them.

tl;dr Think before you swing.

Some pointers for improving on the long run:

-Be ready to block a lot(if shieldless)
-Try chambering, it will get you a long way when mastered
-Practice feints
-Learn the ranges of your weapon
-Focus on your opponent as a whole, not only his attack directions, that includes vs multiple enemies
-Pretty much same as above; don't tunnel vision
-Spent at least 1 hour per day on duel server(preferably longer)
-Always duel someone better than you

There is more, but I might make a really conclusive tutorial with videos sometime next year or December(next year).
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Right swing to outrange & troll 2hero's who think they can spam.  :lol:

Everything has been said really, thought i'd add this. :)
I loot corpses of their golden teeth.
But he'll be around somewhere between Heaven and The Devil, because neither of them will take him in, and he'll be farting loudly and singing a filthy song.

i'll be there at around

I have 1 PS on one of my alts (Quickfeet) using a 1H without shield.
Currently level 30 with 11 AT and 11 WM (will both be 12 at level 31).

It's quite an extreme build but I still manage to do quite well with it. The speed bonus and 197 WPF in 1H makes the damage pretty decent.
I can imagine it would be somewhat OP in the hands of a really good 1H player (not me that is).

If by fine you mean having 0-5 score 80% of the time then you might be right :P
