Strength Builds

[wanteds]

39/3 is easier to play than 3/39(which is useless because Warband is not Olympics simulator.)

However, 15/25 can deal around same amount of damage when you take into account speed bonus from movement.

Therefore, usually skilful melee players increase agility over strength because it gives them good damage along with more control(footwork).

Regarding the poll, we can clearly see how many agy whiners play this mod.

Strength builds are more difficult to play, because you need better footwork, timing and you need to be more patient to make a nice devastating hit.
Also you need to be a good at blocking (to defend yourself from agy spammer  )
And str builds are more historically accurate, because there no agy runners and ninjas in middle ages - combat was much solver then in this mod.

Strength builds are easy as fuck, and I can say that because I'm a 30/12 glaive nerd.

Glaive builds are easy as fuck, and I can say that because I'm a 30/12 strength nerd.

i use str build because i love to fight vs 3-4 enemies at once, its my playstyle, and to reduce damage from arrows and teamhits..  nothing more nothing less... and more i play with it more disadvantages i see.. but i have no intention to change my playstyle..

People can say that strength builds aren't OP, but they'll never make me forget how easy it is to 3-4 shot everyone with 13 power strike and a +3 Practice Longsword.

...until whoever you are fighting starts to take you seriously.

I also frequently experience the same "boosted performance" whenever I am not using an equipment setup people tend to fear. It works during a few days, then it wears off because most of the people you are playing with know that you are dangerous and play accordingly.

The only real problem with strength builds is the amount of hp you can stack. It gets kind of ridiculous when someone can make 4-8 mistakes before they die.

Also, each point of str gives you 1 hp and 1/6 points of damage.

Each point of agi only gives you 1/4 points of athletics.
