Polearm builds?

[Veniathan]

I'm making another thread now, this time because I want to create an alt who will use a Polearm. Preferrably I will be going for a big polearm axe. And cause it's time to start practicing more manual blocking. I need your guys help to give me some decent polearm builds for this type of purpose. I will not be armor crutching too hard mind you, probably will go medium or something up to like.. Rus Scale armor at most.

Solid build thread is outdated and yadda yadda you get the point. Besides these threads will help more new players find new updated builds.

18/27, +3 Long War Axe= BOOM.
Seriously, I have used that for quite a long time. It deals good damage, is fast and doesnt get boring too fast.
I think I maxed PS, had no IF and Athl/WM as high as I could.

I would recomment a Strengh build for a bad blocker (like me).
I am horible at blocking. that means I don't engage in 1vs1 but only switch between fighting groups and bring in a hit where it is possible.
for this playstile it is nice to have some ooomph if you only hit once and change for an other oponent.
so here my build.
lvl 35
Str 24
Agi 18
PS 8
IF 8
Ath 6
WM 6  all into pole
Shield 4  just in case the battlefield is infested with ranged

but try out the other possibilities (21/21; 18/24 maxed PS,IF,ATH,WM) as well to find out what suits you best.

Terrible at blocking? bad at 1v1? Are you me? Maybe. This is a build for me then, cause I'm a teamfighter. I can't hold in 1v1 for shit if my life depended on it.

I will try this build with my alt, however I do not want to use a shield at all. Where do I put that skill? Any direction you can adress to me, to use it for something else?

convert the skill points to adribute and put them into agility. this gives you some extra speed and weapon points.

PEPE never blocks since 2010...

If you play light armored fast pole teamhelper you will have fun and be loved by mates !

My fav game is rearing cavs with pole... protecting archers and xbows is always my best part of enjoying crpg... just take your svaerdstav or awlpike... look around... let him reload, spam voice command with "SHOOT" and "CAVALRY INCOMING FROM BEHIND" untill he shoots into your own head to make you SHADDAP !!!

You need 18/18 at mini (I tried 33/3 or 9/27...it is not very funny) and choose extra agi if you wannabe a lightning spearman who poke and retreat... or str if you love to use big axe !

Pole is really the most enjoyable class in this game... don't matter about ranged, just make the PEPE dance....

[Utrakil]

PEPE do you still have that +3 Spetum??
since I have no access to your armoury anymore can you lend it to me?

[pepejul]

I have now some poles +3 but no spetum anymore... want you try svaerdstav or light glaive instead ?

The build is nice , I'm just level 27 so it isn't finished. Got more to go. But manual blocking is insanely difficult, don't know how people even do this. I can usually block 1 - 2 times and no more than that. All the feinting and sword teleporting makes it impossible for my eyes to see the direction.

The tactic of sticking with a team work that is.. When you have a team to stick with. A lot of times most people go out alone

Don't do what pepe did, always max ps, ath and wm for an infantry build. 4 ath and 24 agi is a massive waste
