I'll rather impale myself on mw lawlpike
I respect choice of other people and the fact that some like being an archer, horseman, xbower, whatever. But that's not my choice, I prefer melee no shield. It would certainly be boring without other classes but that's why other players are for, I won't be the one to go down that path.
im using long awlpike/pike at 15/24 (also 95 points in 1h)
now I'm lvl 33 I also have 6 shieldskill
at 35 I will have 6 riding
It's great and it's gonne be greater!
Tried that on level 35 before retirement, didn't like it. Too much gear and choice. Like to keep it simple. It's easier to get good if you're using just one weapon whole time than juggling with three different tools every single round. Multitasking isn't my strong side and I'm not natural talent at this. Need practice and using one weapon every round, every game, is the only way to go for me.
