Im trying to do a 2handed build, the one in the first post, the very first one. I wonder however how you can get 39 atribute points on a lvl 30 char when you start with 3STR and 3AGI, am i missing something?

You have to convert Skills to Attributes.

Hello! I´m very uncertain as what to build currently. I´ll just rant a bit and maybe someone will answer:

What I do most kills with in native is 2handed(I`m horrible at manual blocking, but it´s getting a bit better), 1handed is fun and I do get some kills with it, riding is fun. My favourite infantry build is some strong twohander and a 1h + shield. Shield + 1h to suck up arrows etc. while moving forward, and in fights I like to switch between 2h and 1h sometimes when the enemy gives me some breathing room, the change of pace seems to confuse people or something, anyhow it served me good so far.

That´s why I thought about either a 1h/2h or a 1h/polearm hybrid.
My question is: Are there any polearm weapons which basically behave like 2handers? My favourite weapon in native so far is the Sarranid Battle Axe with 49c, speed 89, reach 95.
The reason for polearm is that I could include riding in the build.

One of the builds Marathon lists in the OP could suit your needs.

Or you could go with a 1h/2h build I used to roll with.

extremely unlucky.
it's a 4% chance, more wpf does lessen the chance though.

Thank you TurmoilTom, I´ll decide along the way what to do exactly.
I just started to go 1h, since that should be included anyhow.

Hopefully this will net me the occassional kill instead of being nothing but a pure victim. I don´t have much hope though  :D

Never use 2 shields. It will slow you down too much.

Yeah I noticed that right away :D But for siege it´s actually acceptable imo, since there is so much stationary combat

No, it isn't. Not even for nearly stationary combat. The movement penalties are too great.
Stepping into your swings with momentum can account for an entire MULTIPLE of damage. Don't gimp yourself.

Well, after my 2h build, I want to become a crossbowman, but I have some questions:
-I want to fight well in melee with a 2h weapon, but I see that they occupy 2 slots, and I wonder if I'll finish my ammo every time with only a pack of steel bolts. There is a build and a weapon( i saw mace, what do you think of it?) that avoid this problem?
-the kind of crossbow: normal or heavy?Whit a 2h I suppose I'll have some slot problemwith heavy, but i'm a crossbow noob so I don't understand too much how this will influence the game.

Thanks!
I love pewpew.

If you want to be a dedicated xbower I would  use an arbalest and a 1 slot 2h like the mace or langes messer both of which are good 2h just short in range. But if you want to be more melee than use the regular Xbow and any 2slot 2h. The amount of ammunition you're given should last you for the entire round unless your a dedicated Xbow using a lighter Xbow than an arbalest and you may burn through one package of steel bolts

Edit:almost forgot I'm looking for a throwing build using either war darts or heavy throwing axes. I'm not sure if Id rather hit hard using a lot of PT or have high WM and just go for headshots

Dedicated thrower, no melee? You need plenty of athletics in my opinion (Cyclopsided I do 21/18 thrower + melee, and i'd like more athletics for when I throw)
ANd the WM isn't going to give you crazy accuracy, there is a reason most of the best throwers do something near 21/21 with 7ath/7PT/3WM (Chestaclese did 21/21 and you probably should do something +-3 stat points from that.)

Honestly, if I went dedicated thrower right now I'd do 18/24. Dedicated as fuark

30/9 Stone thrower is the only way to go.  :wink: or 27/12
