MW bec de corbin build

[theprojectnemesis]

Wondering if going full strenght is a good idea? Since its fast and short, the slow movement speed and WPF doesn't matter because of the gain of hitting force. Help me

18/21:59HP-6PS-3IF-7ATH-7WM                                                                                     36/3:91HP-12PS-10IF-1ATH

It's a pierce weapon, so it already lends itself to working well with a lower PS than full strength, and I'd recommend getting at least 5 Athletics with it as it's really short, any competent player will be able to easily walk out of range of a full strength build using a Bec. I'd recommend going 18/21 personally, maxing Ath and PS and adding IF, WM or other skills to taste. Balanced builds work really nicely with it.

I like the cut of your jib so as the #1 ranked duelist in the game I'll give you a tip kid.

cRPG is all about STRENGTH unless you're an archer or some other such homoclass.

27/12 is the bare minimum STR I would recommend if you want to do well.

If you want an I-win build, go 33/6 or 30/9 with a MW glaive and heavy armor. No points in WM. This build gives you long reach and good speed. It lets you hit like a truck and tank like Fort Knox. MW Sword of War works too if you backpedal and thrust a lot. Try to hit people at the very edge of your range and kick anyone that gets too close.

I've actually lost a lot of interest in cRPG because of this. The melee metagame is completely stagnant as reach and damage are OP and agility is basically useless except for people who like to have 'fun'. Their definition of 'fun' involves running fast, hitting weakly and dying easily.

cRPG is all about STRENGTH, being slow as fuck, being always ganked, easily shot and raped by cavalry.

I vote for 18-21 build, you don't really need more that 6 PS if you have enough agility and abuse speed bonus.

Come EU1

Wish I could but the game is unplayable with 150+ ping.

[Joseph Porta]

21/18 for any polearm orientated build.

[theprojectnemesis]

Or is german poleaxe better?

[Gurnisson]

German Poleaxe is better, yes.

[Cepeshi]

24/18

8 ps
6 athl
3 wm on lvl 30, aroun 130wpf, quite enuff

[Gurnisson]

or 21/18. 1 less ps and 3 less strength for 7 if, giving you 11 more hp. Depends on if you want to survive more or deal a bit more damage.

[Torben]

with a bec you want agi.  18str 6 ps is enough with it,  even 15 will do.  the agi speed bonus,  combined with holding and pierce damage gives great amounts of bang,  the agi helps you to not get hit and play the positioning game better.  it takes ofc more training to become successful with an agi build,  but with a bec its the way to go.

[Macropus]

Also note that these builds will work well not only for MW bec de corbin, but for normal one too.

And do not forget the sweet knockdown blunt secondary mode

What you are saying is only true for 1v1 situation (and even it is not that simple) but totaly wrong for battle/siege. With more strength you increase your killing power and survivability while fighting but you increase the chance of getting overwhelmed by enemies group. If you want to survive in battle you need Ath and therefore agility.

With a bec i would recommend :

21/18

7 IF
7 PS
6 ATH
3 WM

polearm : 130
