1h shielder build help

[sharker807]

Hi all, if i wan't to use an awlpike with a shield, do i make my build in 1h or pole arm, also can you give me a good build for the warhammer shielder build
thanks

You can't use a shield and a awlpike anymore. I'd recommend 18/18  and if you want to use polearm and 1h with a shield, put like 120 points in 1h or polearm then 100ish into the other.

Some people will recommend better builds but this is what I would do.

It depends if you want to go for a pure Hoplite build (shield+polearm) or just use a spear for group melee or anti-cav situation.

I am not a pro shielder but with a hammer you can start with :

21/15
7 IF
7 PS
5 Shield
5 ATH
5 WM

1h: 148

Easy to play and effective.

5 WM

135-140 1H

~50 in polearms

Since poles are mostly anti-cav as shielder, you do not need a lot of WPF.

Awlpike is a polearm even when used together with a shield. You can take a look at a double-sided lance, it has similar stats, but has an onmi-directional attack when used without shield.
As for STR/AGI - you will have more fun with 21/15 as a new player, and shift to 15/21 later, when/if you have + items and more expirience.

As for warhammer - I have no idea, though since it is very short, it is probably wise to go 18/18 or 15/21.

this is my build so far think i'm gonna go 15-24, also what do you think about 8 or 9 in shield

[Daergar]

21/15
7 PS
7 IF
5 WM (146 1h-prof at level 30, or 120-130 and the rest in something shiny)
5 shield
5 athletics

As an upside, the build works with almost every 1h weapon, which includes the blunt mid to top range.

Imho 15/21 is best used with light gear and a short spammy weapon (steel pick) and moving around peoples' blocks. Having tested both, I favor my normal build of 21/15 hands down, simply for survivability.

And those that claim "but you have a shield, you don't need armor or ironflesh" have simply not been teamhit or shot by missiles nearly enough to say anything. ;)

[Fartface]

Got to agree with Daergar on this one.

[oprah_winfrey]

Personally I would want at least 6 athletics if I was planning on using a 65 length weapon. Otherwise, you will get S keyed upon.

oh mister 2h wants to backpedal?  stop, pull out heavy throwing axe, watch him make a mad dash to try and stop me from throwing.  works great when they jump into a throw and take 50% more damage

[Turboflex]

Yep, you can give up 3 IF, 1 WM and some of your marginally expensive and not very useful 140 wpf and instead pickup throwing which gives your character a powerful ranged attack to prevent kiting, take down horses, and ability to back off melee and spam throwing axes for more points/kills when you are blackbarred.

I meant more against someone who is going to keep their distance because their greatsword/glaive is twice as long as yours, not them just jamming the S key.
