I have alts for when I am craving different builds, but my main is hybridized too. Playing a single-focused build can get boring over the course of those really high levels.

The choice is up to you, but if you really want to play cav and that's it I would recommend making a cav alt and keeping your main character's build. If the battle server is empty you don't need to play siege/conquest with a gimped build.

Do you really hate your current build? Or are you just looking for something fresh?

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

Mod is bread.

Crows like bread.

Karasu can never quit shanking people with my rondel dagger in mod, fakts proven.

For a main build, I'd say specialize for wherever you play the most, and only hybrid for glaring weaknesses in your build that you cannot avoid completely (e.g. a few points in shield to soak up ranged), or if the investment made to hybrid is tiny compared to the benefit.

This is my build:

min maxing the main is a great temptation i am sure.  if you should decide to go cav,  you must consider getting 7 riding.  jumping an an arab wh from time to time is a fucking blast,  such a fun horse!

also consider other cav then polecav.  using 1 or 2h on horse works swell,  and for occacional lancing fun you can always grab a greatlance.

that being said,  anything upward of 18/18 is great fun (even 15 str works okish on horse)  and you should probably add the surplus points to tender your infantry needs.
Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

To be fair, I quite enjoy my build effectiveness even with 6 ps only, but the lack of IF bothers me too much, since having 7 shield skill or 5 is pretty much the same with all the maul/bardiche/axe fest nowadays.

Being really squishy really pisses me off.

But thanks for all the advices guys, maybe I'll just make this character have a rest for a while and focus on my alts again, in case nothing happens to the mod in the next days (also known as death).

Well, I guess with your current build you can grab a warhammer + red tassel spear and be pretty much godly.

concidering your ability to respecc and staying lvl 34,  you should soonish hit 35 and get 3IF, eh?

Eh, why?
Convert the attribute point you get from level up, and that would make 3 skillpoints in total, no?

Well IMO your build is just great, and will be even more powerful at higher levels.
My say is - if you don't completely hate playing as shielder, don't respec. Make alts instead.

PS: what's the gear setup you use?

Depends on the mood tbh, on battle is hoplite with elite cav shield + ashwood / warspear or simply pike.

Siege I rarely go hoplite, it's mostly steel buckler + sideweapon (be it a dagger or a fast light 1h) and either Bec/Poleaxe/Longmaul/LongWarAxe.

I rotate a lot.

6 Power Strike sometimes feels a little bit low, though.

15 str masterrace.
karasu, have you tried 1h/xbow? its quite fun if you ask me, and is effective in both gamemodes.
Your binary primitive low capacity of thinking is not relevant.

On my main I have this build for a very long while now and I'm very happy with it:

Strength:18
Agility:21

One Handed:131
Two Handed:34
Polearm:147
Throwing:1
Crossbow:1
Archery:1

Weapon Master:7
Athletics:7
Riding:7
Iron Flesh:2
Shield:6
Horse Archery:0
Power Strike:6
Power Draw:0
Power Throw:0

With lvl 34 I only added 2 IF and 1 shield point.

(the 2h wpf is from synergy ofc)

It's effective both on a horse, you can use every horse with it, and on foot, as any of the three classes: hoplite, 1h and 2h pole. The only thing that is weak with this build is 1h damage on any higher armoured opponents.

I didn't even change the build when there was the grand respec thing, only tweaked wpf a little bit (Or maybe that's because I have a bunch of alts with min-maxed builds :) )
