Nodachi/Bow Samurai Build?

[Righteous]

I've searched around the forums for a samurai build that finishes at hopefully 30 but I couldn't find any.
Was wondering if anyone had a good build for Nodachi/Yumi/heavy samurai armor? And if it's even viable or fun at all?

Not very viable, but it's fun. I think your best best is an 18/18 build.

18 strength / 18 agility

6 power draw, power strike, athletics, weapon master
5 ironflesh

50 two-hander weapon proficiency
150 archery weapon proficiency

Cool, thanks. How come only 50 WPF in 2H?

[TurmoilTom]

Weapon Proficiency is more vital for your bow. No use having it if you can't hit anything. Besides, the majority of your damage with your sword will come from your power strike.

Ohhh, yeah that makes sense. Thanks bro. If I knew how to upvote posts I'd upvote those.

Yeah it's not there for me. Maybe 'cuz I just made this account?#

Edit: Also, would this build be able to use a katana instead of a Nodachi?

[TurmoilTom]

Yes, it would.

Awesome, really appreciate this bro. The moment I can upvote posts I'll upvote all of the ones in this thread.

Use the Tatar bow and drop archery WPF down to 135 and raise two-hander to 100. You will still have enough accuracy and a tatar still kills 98% of the time that the horn bow would get the kill.

Without HA skill, you do -80% damage I think lol.

Each level of HA increases that percent by 20.

So 2 HA would allow you to do -40% damage. 5 HA would let you do 100%
