lesh,  if you enjoy strat,  consider the high armor levels of the average army nowadays.  I know a few 2h agi heroes struggling because they cant inflict enough damage with 15str,  personally struggle with 18str on cut weapons as well...

you might want to take that into account considering your weapon choice.

Had that, exchanged it for great sword. Don't like those weapons where to be useful you need to connect the hits very fast (aka spam).

Thanks for advice, but I'm not playing strategus. Never did, never will.

Try the Bigsandwich build. Polearm, get a few points in shield (I'm using 2 just fine currently), but stack agi even higher than 24 to offset the shield weight (15/27, 18/27 at highest levels).

You don't need to use the shield in fights, but getting to fights at full health is nice. You'll zoom around the battlefield getting strong pierce damage and support hits. Polearm hits stop enemies for a brief moment, allowing you to circle around them with a teammate on the other side. 8ath also works, but the shield would make you move only slightly better than a 7ath no shield build.

Yeah, but that means no WM. I had 180 wpf in 2H for a long time and it was awesome. Played with lot less and it's fine but can't compare to high WM builds. It's about extra damage that high wpf gives you, and there's also extra swing speed from both agi and wpf. Not to mention movement speed.

Also had 3 shield skill and I find it useless, just slows me down. Sucks against ranged. Don't like playing hoplite, mechanics is beyond boring.

But thanks for tip.

15/24 with bec or similar is godlike, maybe even a little bit too much godlike

Not a bad idea Kafein but I decided to recreate 2H on Leshma, and polearm on Bucko. 

Since Leshma comes first, that means I need to make a good build. Wanted 18/24 6 IF/PS, 8 ATH with 5 or 6 WM but I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe 21/24 with 0 WM is better build?

I need confirmation, will 160-ish wpf with 6 PS grant me higher damage output than 115-ish wpf with 7 PS?
