I've only tried the 18/21 build and I really like it, but if you want more damage the 21/18 may be the way to go.

I like Gorath's build. I use it, too, but not with a Loldachi.

These are very nice, balanced build that are good for all kinds of situations. They are also used by many good players. If you choose one of these, you should consider 1-3 points in shield (instead of iron flesh) to avoid enemy arrows, but that will also slow you down on the battlefield, so it's really a matter of personal preferences.

pretty much what i'm trying this generation. but if u play with light armour u really dont need much agility at all and can even have 0 wm.

Somebody forgot their weapon req....

[Quallen]

My preferred 2h builds are:

18 str / 21 agi - 3 ironflesh, 6 power strike, 7 athletics, 7 weapon master

and

24 str / 15 agi - 5 ironflesh, 8 power strike, 5 athletics, 5 weapon master

The former(18/21) has the strength to use most everything and the mobility to better choose your fights. I think its especially great for newer players who are still in money making mode using lighter armors which lets your superior athletics shine through.  The high wpf should give you a slightly larger counter-attacking window after blocking.

The latter(24/15) has great damage and a pretty good amount of hit points which will have synergy with heavier armor.  Sometimes you can't avoid getting ganged but your athletics is plenty for solid footwork once engaged.

This is the build I use. I like to put some points into Shield so I can move up ladders and close the gap on archers, as Gorath mentioned. I also like some points in Crossbow so the reticule is a manageable size.

Pure is the only way to go these days. Hybrids tend to fail more often
