polearm or 2h build?

[hitbox]

i am coming up on level 31 and wanted to retire and fix some of my noob-ups. i was wondering up in to this point i have been going pole arms and have been enjoying them. what about 2h i would like to know the in's and outs of pole arms and 2h, pros an cons of the two, and any advice. i am also looking at what build should i chose and advice on building builds.

i was thinking a HIGH strength build

Both builds way to extreme, but i'd go with the second one. Don't convert that many skillpoints. But if you must, at least get some athletics.

On pole vs 2h. Polearm has some hard hitters and the pikes, 2h is often faster and more balanced. 2h excel at dueling, pole is great on the big, messy battlefield.

[ThePoopy]

pole for the balanced build, 2h for str build

[Phyrex]

I would go polearm, since it's vastly superior in every way.

Are we sure that skillpoints over 10 work tho?

I think he meant 24/18

You do not need any athletics i am playing a 33/6 build without any athletics and i am still walking fast enough and even my strikes are fast cause of 122 polearm wpp. So far this is the best build i ever had played :p but 42 str is a way to "mad"
you should try something between the first and second build.

Doubt it. He cant have 168 wpp with only 18 agi.

[Vibe]

Doubt it. He cant have 168 wpp with only 18 agi.

Oh right, missed that. Also you can't have WM7 with 18 agi, like he has

Oh well, GL leveling to 38
