Shall I make an STR build guide?

[Lech]

BS people will do whatever makes them OP.

Or not?

Well, having 42/3 mauler build with 102 HP and fully loomed milanese plate would certainly grant me shitload of points in siege game mode, almost permanent x5. Sounds like serious advantage to me.

Now play on battle.

[Leshma]

Why should I?

That is why you will get sassy posts here:  strength builds are hilariously simple and overpowered, and are the easiest for new players to pick up.  Since it reduces the need for footwork, blocking, awareness, choosing your targets, dueling, kiting, so on and so forth.  And is all about tanking hits for 3 minutes until you bumble into 1 overhead attack that instantly kills someone and think "wow cRPG own3z~!" in between mountain dew strained chortles.

Regardless just post a thread and you won't get any thread shitting in an actual noobie guide (probably) but here it is fair game.

Guys like me who have over 30 str and have single digit agility really struggle in movement and get outmanoeuvred by faster builds who can simple backstab you, spam you, stun you, run around and kick you to death. Being slow target means you are more susceptible to getting hit by cav and ranged.  Another thing for strength builders is that they struggle to pull out of big mob fights when it gets all too much for them, once they get stuck in, they stay in and often die. So, it's harder than you think playing as strength based chracter. This is from my 2+ year experience with a STR build.

First off , I'm always on eu1 or eu3. And yeah STR build requires more battle awereness. Il contact the guy that makes the gameplay footage so I got some gameplay to show.

Have you tried it? I mean, peasant with 36/3 build, 11 IF and 12 PS?

I see that you quoted me as well. You're right for battle mode but as I said:

Currently siege mode gives better XP, it induces way less rage than battle (it's actually relaxing) and even loners like me can make a difference and earn good XP and gold, even against Greys and HRE. On battle that is slowly becoming harder to pull off and I'm not sure I like part of cRPG community co that regularly players battle.

Another reason why I like siege folks more is that they speak more english in chat, even though they are mostly polish/russians/germans. As of lately, on EU1 everyone started speaking their own language and I don't like that because I can't understand what they are saying.

No but had 30/9 was fun with quaterstaff. 60% chance to knockdown.

[Leshma]

Well, that's different.

With 3 agi and 0 ath in cloth armor you're barely faster than full tincan using the same build.

I say you would be wast as fart not wind exactly same as peasants are.

[Aderyn]

just do 36/3 with 12 IF 9PS 1ath 1wm and you'll be golden in plate. (can't even imagine loomed plate...)

Greatmaul for extra fun.

Tried that the other day on my stf and topped the boards almost every maps

[Fartface]

But that means youll get a fuck load of repairs , and wearing tincan armour is costly so it should be better. Well I just like somebody that can take video´s to make some videos from/ with me. As this way I can explain better. Also il get started once I get a bit of free time. Haven't had to mutch today.
