Advice on build


Recommended Posts

I've restarted my Shadow Warrior for the fifty thousandth time, and this go-around I've decided to make a spear warrior. I didn't want to break the mold too much with this build, I just want a solid, dependable melee fighter to carry me through most of my hunting trips. So, perhaps you, good fellows of Darkmatters, can give me some pointers.

 

Here's how my build is looking so far:

 

Attributes: Mostly equal distribution between strength and vitality with a slightly higher focus on strength. Maybe a little stamina or willpower down the road?

 

Skills:

Death Warrior Focus

Malevolent Champion Focus

Concentration

Pole Arms

Tactics Lore

Armor Lore

Constitution

Toughness

Pacifism (for pvp maybe?)

 

Combat Arts:

Demonic Blow (Should I sink lots of runes into this just to have a powerful one-hit attack, keep everything else nice and low for spamability?)

Scything Sweep

Grim Resilience

Frenzied Rampage

Belligerent Vault

Reflective Emanation

Augmenting Guidon

 

I don't have too many specifics on gear, but generally I just lean towards high attack value and defense. I basically want this to be a brute tank build. He doesn't need to be super fast or flashy, just a real bruiser that can sponge damage and dish out powerful single hit attacks when necessary.

 

Any advice would be great.

Hi Mark, and welcome to DarkMatters!~

What we found out is that shopper networks do the job enormously well... that's shoppers at different levels going all the way up, as each one has a range of items they can buy for other toons ^^

dug up this thread for you, does it help?

GreenMagic469, my prediction is that your build will slay everything, looks really solid. It's hard to mess up a melee Shadow Warrior.

 

I would ditch Pacifism though. Better to take something else defensive that would help against both player and monster. Spell Resistance or Combat Reflexes would be good. Or if you want to boost offensive, pick Damage Lore.

 

If you've got Grim Resilience, no need to really sink points into Willpower. I'd stick with Strength and Vitality.
