It's ridiculous how easy it is to play STR build. Just look at all the robocops, taking 6-7 hits before dropping while they 2 hit everyone else.

you need to be able to hit to kill ppl; and having lower ath/wpf requires by far better positioning and leave you by far less space for footwork errors. 7ath and more just let you jump around like a crack ninja with a greatsword even in medium/heavy armor, still dealing some insane damage tnx to speedbonus.

easy solution: make greatswords/top tier 2h/poles require more STR. You want run like Bolt with a 2h? fine, but you have to stick with a low dmg weapon. Don't even get me started about weapons with 12 STR req, 43 cut DMG and 96 speed.

STR build may have higher potential in the hand of a skilled fighter, but a very average player can make a skip the fun char in medium armor with a danish or a GLA , go 15(or16)/24 and rape like a boss.

I'm 30/12 with 10 IF and 10 PS. I don't think I'm worried about shame.

Any shit player can spec 36/3 and do well. With a build like that you can make 10 mistakes and 2 shot anyone how is that hard?

if you can't block/outmanoeuvre a guy with 1 ath it's time to quit. If we are talking about team fight situations i understand your frustration, but those guys are usually early focused if your team is anywhere close to decent.

And my last word: real men use balanced builds. Those shine in no particular situation but can always excel if played right; wich means you are not aboozing your ath/ps/if, but doing it smart with superior "skill"/brain.

btw this is going nowhere, i suggest you all go post more nurf in the nerf archers post!!

balanced builds are by far the easiest and always have been.

FYI, most ppl don't consider a 18 24 or 24 18 an agi or str build

36 - 3
9 - 30

Staying alive AND contributing to the team is harder as an agi build. Have to be good at it to get points/ kills.
A lucky strike of an agi build makes someones cheek itch, a lucky strike of a str build obliterates your face beyond recognition.

So yes an str build is easier for noobs, that doesn't mean there is no such thing as a pro str-build player.

I guess what I consider a agi build is 15+ agi... thats 5 ath...

You can be 24/15 and that's very clearly not an agi build.

Please stop viewing the world from the perspective of 36/3

Idk why you guys are even arguing Xbow builds are obviously the easiest, get an arbalest or a reg Xbow get a good position and shoot. Easy kills all day if you can aim and know good spots to be in. Proof of this is karma ;P hahaha but seriously I liked rhalys bettar when he had that GLB.

Balanced builds are the most fun! 21/21 far superior to everything
My horse is named pebbles and we like to try.
