Solid Builds

[jtobiasm]

okay thanks man

[7000bc]

I'm almost doing the exact same as your build, but I've dropped all ironflesh and have 6 shield. <3 it

[Iymore]

  Strength: 18
    Agility: 18
    Hit points: 61

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Ironflesh: 4
    Power Strike: 6
    Shield: 2
    Athletics: 6
    Riding: 6
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 6

    One Handed: 1
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 146
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

Is this a good build so I can be a lancer, polearm inf, Hoplite? Or should I change the if and shield around ect?

you should have min 3 shield skill for hoplite (board shield)

i see 1 1hander build in the first post, so here my 2 favorite builds:

1h cav

(click to show/hide)

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)
Strength: 18
Agility: 18
Skills to attributes: 2
Power Strike: 6
Shield: 6
Athletics: 6
Riding: 5
Weapon Master: 6
One Handed: 156

If you want to be able to ride a courser and thus 6 riding, you can drop a point in shield or athletics, depending on your playstyle.
If you like to outrange your enemy, or you use a short wep  like the steel pick you need the speed, so drop a shield point,
If you take a lot of hits to your shield you need the point in shield, making your shield faster, and it will last longer without breaking.

Dedicated 1h:

(click to show/hide)

This is a level 31 build, simply because you are short on skillpoints to finish it on level 30. Perfect build if you aim to settle in this gen, you can put points in shield and iron flesh (or riding) if you level up to 32-33.
I prefer balanced agi build because you will have enough speed to outrange 2handers (move out of range when they attack and move in for your own hit before he can block), and spam them if needed.

Level 31 (8 892 403 xp)
Strength: 18
Agility: 21
Skills to attributes: 6
Power Strike: 6
Shield: 6
Athletics: 7
Weapon Master: 7
One Handed: 166

Here again the same choice between ath and shield.

Drop weapon master, not athletics or shield

[Night_Wish]

can you make a ha with 7 riding?

[Cyclopsided]

can you make a ha with 7 riding?

Not intelligibly at level 30.
15/24 is the 'best' HA build, and it has 6 Riding due to needing the skill points in PD,HA, WM.
Any build with 7 riding @ lvl 30 is cutting your accuracy/damage by a  considerable margin by sacrificing elsewhere (PD/Wm/HA)

If you want 7 riding, hit level 31, and turn the stat point into a skillpoint. Can get 8 riding then and get 1 skill point to do idkwhatthefuck with.
THat's all there is to it.

18/21 3 ha 7 riding 7 wm 6 pd

[BlackCorsair_RS]

If i want to be shielder/crossbow mix and main requirements are:

1) i will use mw crossbow + mw steel bolts + mw knightly heater shield
2) i want to be more a shielder then an xbow. Xbow just as a sweet addition.
3)  i think i will use mw italian sword (even knowing that blunt/pierce is not bad for such mix). If its totally wrong, show me your arguments

How about str/dex 18/21  and  wpf:
120 in onehanded
130 in crossbows


Which problems|advantages should i expect with this build?

P.S. tried 24|12 before that with 0 wpf in crossbows. Wasnt bad, but ofc he was rather slow, and crossbow usage was effective only in close distances

[HUtH]

18/21 ? You will lose a lot of points for skill->attr change...

maybe this:

Code: [Select]

Level:           30

Strength:        18
Agility:         18

Skill to attr:    2

Ironflash:        5
Power Strike:     6
Shield:           6
Athletics:        6
Weapon Master:    6

One Handed:     122
Two Handed:     115

u meant not two handed, but crossbows i suppose.


i thought to sacrifice iron flesh to make 21 agi instead of 18.

it will allow me to shoot more accurate (with 7 wm) and to move faster (with 7 athletics).


or ironflesh is important for shielder/crossbowman?

[PhigNewtenz]

You would need to convert 6 more skill points to reach 21 agility, and then add 1 skill point each to Weapon Master and Athletics. That's 8 points needed in total, and 3 more than the 5 Iron Flesh you have available to sacrifice. You could drop 2 shield skill and still be able to use your Knightly Heater, but you would still be 1 point short of maxing both Athletics and Weapon Master.

As I see it, you have four options:

• Go with HUtH's suggestion (except for the 2H WPF) because it looks pretty solid.
• Go 18/21 with 4 Shield and get either 7 WM -OR- 7 Athletics, (I would go with Athletics here) but not both.
• Go 18/21 with 3 Shield and get both 7 WM -AND- 7 Athletics. You can use a Kite Shield, which is still pretty solid.
• Build for level 31 and use the three extra skill points to go 18/21 with 2 IF, 6 PS, 4 Shield, 7 Athletics, and 7WM. Stick with it until you hit level 32. This isn't a bad deal now that you get 2 skill points for retiring at level 32; the generation will take twice as long, but you'll get twice the rewards!

I personally don't think that IF is that important for shielders or crossbowmen, but there's no real need to put more points in shield than are required for your equipment. I usually get shield to 4 (I use a Knightly Kite Shield) and then dump the rest into IF. It's personal preference, so do what you think is best.

Good luck!

[BlackCorsair_RS]

thx a lot, that gave me some info to think about!

[Iymore]

Just tried 24/18 cav with 8 ps 6 riding and 3 shield with lance, it's awesome! what do you think? 21/18 with 6 wm would be better?
