Solid Builds

[Zanze]

You can put that 1 point in weapon master and grab a shield for the archer heavy maps or siege.

These are just guidelines of the super bored boring builds, I always do something like this with my builds... points/wpf vary according to mood.

More often than not I go around battle swinging wildly till I die so I can tab out(Not leeching, just not trying hard. Because battle is retarded mode as is, imo). On the rare occasion that I have try hard pants on, these builds work very well.

Also like doing these builds with 18 str 21 agil... Sometimes I like to put points and wpf in everything so i can pick up shit or be majorly annoying whilst running around
Or, run around battle or siege collecting weapons in a corner to make an epic last stand

Sometimes I do horse build and cav with a war spear/1h. Some times 4 WM or less. Some times IF (Which is useless but I like when numbers go up?)

Should mention I have a horrible addiction to the respec button, so having the variety keeps me going with respec

What is a good archer hybrid with shielder build?

What is a good archer hybrid with shielder build?

Sounds like a bad idea.

[Valknut]

Why so? because of the too much spread-out skills you have to put in order make it a little bit efficient?

yes. You end up bad at both. if you do it, make sure all your WPF is in archery and not in a melee. you can maybe spare 50 points for 1h wpf if you want, though.
I actually have several of those posted in this thread. if you look through, you'll find em.

I imagine with a MW horn/rus bow + MW bodkins, at a higher level (like 32) it would be pretty good. Use a buckler for a shield if using a rus bow, real shields if using a horn bow.
I have a few level 30 builds floating around though if you read through!

it is a hybrid that is only DECENT at level 30.
at level 32 it could be pretty good with MW gear:

Level 32 (17 784 806 xp)

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 21
    Hit points: 53

    Skills to attributes: 4

    Ironflesh: 0
    Power Strike: 6
    Shield: 3
    Athletics: 7
    Riding: 0
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 6
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 7

    One Handed: 50
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 162
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1
I'd do this if I had MW horn bowand bodkins. if not, no. forget archer hybrids imo.

[Valknut]

Why do you need so much WPF in archer then? So much in Weapon Master and so much in Athletics. I was more hybriding a Shielder with a archer, or atleast thinking of it, im testing it out right now. I was thinking in stead of 7 Athletics and 7 Weaponmasters of 5 in ATH and WM, 4 in shields (heavy round shield) and 4 in IF.

Because you want to actually hit things with your bow.

copy paste your build from char calc at level 30 and i'll look at it. you'll want to max WM and ath on it always for an archer hybrid. No matter what attribute distribution.
here's a standard level 30 build. I'll do this for a STF in two days, i'll tell you how it plays. Post a screenshot of KDR or something.

What should i add to a 1h-shielder? I dont know what fits best....
I thought about crossbow, polearm or throwing.

this would be my shape:

I'm thinking of building my char (level 24 18/13) into this:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 21
Agility: 18

Hit points: 68

Skills to attributes: 8

Ironflesh: 6
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 0
Athletics: 5
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 5
One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 148
Polearm: 1
Archery: 1
Crossbow: 1
Throwing: 1

Should I adjust something or is this a decent build? (using a Claymore atm)

there is no reason to have 18 agi and not have 6 ath. Depending on what your build is now, you could do something like

Strength: 21
Agility: 18

Hit points: 68

Skills to attributes: 8

Ironflesh: 6
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 0
Athletics: 6
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 4
One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 139
Polearm: 1
Archery: 1
Crossbow: 1
Throwing: 1

or 5 IF and 5 WM if you feel more comforable with 148 wpf.

Thanks, you are right about the ath

Following up on this, I did a 15-21 Archer + 1h + shield hybrid. Carried a 2:1 KDR and topped my team several times. It is good if you play safe and can aim for heads. Only have 1 stack of bodkins so you should take your shots carefully.

What should i add to a 1h-shielder? I dont know what fits best....

Throwing or Pole arm are both really good alterations of 21-15 1h/shielder.
To do pole, just put 110 WPF into polearms.
TO do throwing, put 125 in throwing wpf and 7 PT.

Unless you are looking to build for higher level, you want to stick to intervals of 3, since that is where you get skills, stick wih 21-15 and get 7 powestrike and 7 throwing (you probably need more throwing wpf for this though)
