Ideal Build for 2HandedSword?

Yangster · 10-25-2007, 04:00 AM

I plan to be an all-time 2 handed swordsman...
Right now I am planning to do this:

10 DEX
25 SPR
(Rest) END

Skills:
-Devastate (points into SP cool down) {Not sure how much to put in...
-Power Hit (points into SP cool down) {Not sure how much to put in...

My biggest question is: Is this an ideal build for a 2-handed swordsman?
After doing a bit or research, I feel like my build might be way off the mark...

Thanks in Advanced.

You probably don't need that much dex but it all helps.. I wouldn't recommend decreasing sp costs though if u wish to do better in PVp..

I'm only setting DEX to 5 now... I'm lowering Sp cooldown not cost, so is that okay?

is dex REALLY necessary?

i mean, what does dex do that an aim scroll cant?

hmmm idk but i've already got 5 in it so its too late... there were times when I kept missing a lot against stronger monsters even with the scroll :P

The extra dex is useful because of the weapon he's using. Anyway an Aim Scroll will just boost it even further.

Wait are you talking about me? Yeah I use a 2handed sword so my aim is already boosted...

its NEVER been necessary
Just optional, i call it (insurance)

What about my skills: Devastate and Power Hit?
... I've heard some people increase the duration instead of SP cooldown... what should I really do? and how many points do I put in what?

Lately i find dex a more and more interesting stat. havent yet put any points in it and i doubt i will, but dodging attacks is great

my axe gives me 19dex, another 25 comes from my rings (when using the dex rings). throwing up an evasion scroll makes my fighter avoid like 1/4-1/5 off all hits from yellow named monster (usually. some mobs like procks seem to have a very high accuracy).
havent tested it much yet, but my first impression was, dex might be a better defensive stat then end o_O (for someone who is not using shields).
and about the accuracy, accuracy=damage when fighting higher level monster
