All WPF in 1h will be around ~145

I'm currently using a Mongol Armor + Golden Horde Helmet + Heavy Gauntlets + Rus Cavalry Boots + Nordic Championsword total weight of 17.6 (if i calculated it right) and you are still quite fast because with the str (24) the slowdown of armors will go down  and with 5 ath you ll get some small boost :W your damage is very good and its needed as a swashbuckler because you don't have 40 cut average weapons like the 2h/pole faction and you are still able to outrange most of the 2h (many of them are stupid and underestimate the right swing range ) with a bit of movement and skill.
If you are going for a higher level and you take this build as basic I'd go for either 27/18 or 30/15 (I'm going for the 30 str build) but thats a different story if you want some more tipps for some weapons or something like that message me

with the str (24) the slowdown of armors will go down

This is not true.

This is not true.

not ? i thought str will give you some kind of boost on heavy armor so you are faster in them with more str than with more agi

Nope. The reason you see heavy armored guys being so fast is because the weight effect is barely there. That's why everybody is a tincan.

The weight effect is there, but only significantly affects early acceleration and not so much top speed. People that learn to conserve their momentum in combat appear as fast even in heavy armor.


Also don't forget most of the real tincans ae in fact high level. They got high STR and high survivability with the lower levels, but with more points in agility they can put on heavier armor without turning into turtles.
