Intresting posts here, but IMO there are lots of more ways to build "The best build in this game" Trust me on this one I have some "overpowered" builds

Oh I'm sure I wouldn't be complete\finished with it. I just want to stop so I can try something new and I don't spend all my time on one guy

...wise... great... .. talking about someone else

my 2cents;
---kill your opponent in one round, amound of damage or numbers of attack in single round is not relevant - just ability to kill is counted...
---BC and DR are nice ones if you schoose... but if they have not the opportunity to strike you....
---Until you have owerpovered build, there are good reason to change your gear and weapon every now and then. Lets see... trolls ans spiders have really low ac, most of the monsters in mainlands have really low ad, etc.


Happy hunting

At this moment, I'm trying a build that should be complete at level 32 (not right there yet) and also fits into Sarumars advice.
Unlike what seems to be the current opinion, this build does not rely on criticals (too unpredictable, especially since it's toned down so much), but on lots of strikes.
So: no BC or HPs on levelling up, all-out offensive AC and AD.

I must not be hit, so 3 skillpoints into evasion is not wasted: I'll always have first strike AND when I miss too often in the first 4 hits (cursed spiders!) I will be able too flee.
(To help with these spiders, I'm currently grinding for their extraordinary Valugha items: both will help a lot for this strategy. 2 hats right now, still need a gown...patience patience)

This build could be complete at level 30 (7 skillpoints: 2 IF, 3 evasion, 2 combat speed), but level 32 is just 2 levels away and adds another skillpoint I can spend at will (regeneration? corpse eater? magic finder? dark blessing?)

With 'only' level 32, new content should still be challenging, but for this version levelling up to higher levels should not be necessary - it will only lead to an overpowered build and I already have two of those (lvl 60 and 80)

For the moment, this is my view of an optimal build (most likely to change with the next release )

(really, you should have seen my level 5 battling Irdeghs and spiders sheer madness! still halfway in the spidercave with that little kid, surviving barely and waiting for the conditions to go away. To even hit 1 spider 1 time takes like forever. Maybe someday I'll dust off my old tavern topic when I'm in the mood of writing down adventures...)

I hope you do! Your adventures are always a good read. Happy hunting

Mino / SirGAL, I did not see your posts on the second page til I reread this thread. Great points and advice there that both of you bring up. I'll be sure to keep this in mind when making my second character...

If you're not the patient kind, go for quickstrike builds. If you're more patient and love displays of power, go for DR. If you want to get a load of laughs by watching monsters trying unsuccessfully for 10 rounds in a row to land hits on you, go for BC.
