Build Help?

[Dragut]

Hi, I'm looking for some inspiration for a good build ^^.  I was thinking about 1h with alot of speed, and perhaps a x-bow or bow sidearm.
Any ideas? Tips?

Thanks ^^

I suggest xbow if your looking for a sidearm. Bow requires alot of wpf and skillpoints.

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 21
    Hit points: 59

    Skills to attributes: 8

    Ironflesh: 3
    Power Strike: 6
    Athletics: 7
    Weapon Master: 7

    One Handed: 140
    Crossbow: 111

Looks good ^^.  Perhaps I could go 15/24 for even more speed? Or would this make me too weak for melee?

1h with speed is a painfull build for a new player.

Crutch str the first run or 2 through then try amping up the agi.

24/15
7IF
7PS
4Shield
5ATH

It's good enough, just stay with the shield wall and try not to smack your own guys with the left swing.

21/15
Get MW and more shield

18/18
Nice and balanced with a chance to put in some throwing or riding.

I wouldn't realy go lower than 18str with 6PS. 1h weapons are notoriously feeble and can leave you wanting for damage. Stick with maces and picks unless you can get a loomed sword (or use the Italian, it's pretty boss).

Thanks for the help guys, I'll figure something out ^^

More speed=less damage

Less damage=More cry

[Dragut]

Less damage, but that wouldn't be a problem if you stab you opponent in the face a few times
But I think I'm going with 18/24, Haven't decided weapons yet though.

Check this

Make sure you check out your build first here: http://infinitum.dyndns.org/crpg/calc.htm

Not sure you can do 18/24 @ 30 with what you wanted to do

[Dragut]

The guide is very helpful, thanks.  I think I will do some 'Skip the fun' testing characters, to get to know the different playstyles.

try all option..btw if u have a stf,u can respect it withous losing level.

[Dragut]

Really? Fantastic! (my first character is STF cause I got impatient on being the enemy's snack :p)

You can only do it once a week though (just read that)

[Dragut]

I think I'll go with a (offensive) shielder build as mentioned is that guide, but what equipment would you guys recommend?
(weapons only, armor I can decide myself ^^)


edit : Never mind I figured it out

[zagibu]

If you go low STR, you need a high damage weapon or a weapon with pierce/blunt to compensate, or else you'll need 5 hits or more to down the better-armored enemies. I suggest a pick, hammer, axe or military cleaver. Maybe 3x loomed top tier swords will also work.

[Dragut]

Unfortunately my treasure chest isn't nearly as full as I would wish it to be ^^ Very expensive weapons are not really an option.
By the way ; would It be a good idea to sell my first heirloom point just to have enough money to cover anything I would need in regular items and upkeep?
