Build Basics

Difficulty: Easy
Hometown: Port of London, Medieval Germany, Viceroyal Lima
Stat Order: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Perception, Mind, Spirit

You can choose any of the hometowns listed for this build:

  • Lima would let you make use of Brew

  • London and Lima would let you make use of Gunplay
  • London and Lima would let you make use of Expert Parry

You choose Strength as your primary stat to gain more Damroll.

Target Stats

  • 105 strength
    • High strength will give you a higher Damroll
    • High strength will give you more attacks with strength weapons
  • 27 mind
    • You can get away with 25 mind but getting idiocied will make you lose important skills
    • 27 mind will protect you from being idiocied, as you lose 10% of your mind, which will keep you above 25 (this is no longer true as idiocy is now a 10 mind debuff that is a direct opposite of the brainpower spell)
  • 90 Dexterity
    • You want as much dexterity as you can manage, but 90 is needed for battle training benefits
    • Having higher dex will give you lower AC and higher tumble/dodge/parry chance
    • Having higher dex will also give you more attacks with dex weapons
  • 40+ Constitution
    • You need at least 40 constitution for Rage
    • Having more constitution will give you more HP
  • 30 Perception
    • 30 Perception is a minimum requirement for a few skills shared by many builds
  • 30 Spirit
    • 30 Spirit is a minimum requirement for a few skills shared by many builds

Build Goals

  • Having max strength to gain more damroll
  • Try to get as much hitroll from equipment as you can (27 is the max from equipment)
  • Try to get as much damroll from equipment as you can (27 is the max from equipment)
    • Hitroll is more important since you gain a lot of damroll from strength and twohand weapon bonus
    • Damroll is multiplied by 1.33 if you're wielding a two handed weapon
  • Having high dexterity and the benefits that come from it
    • High AC
    • High Dodge/Tumble/Parry changes
  • Using a two handed weapon to gain the damroll bonus (33%)
  • Using as many secondary attack items as you can to increase your damage output

Required Skills

Build Description

This build really shines because of the synergy of two handed weapons, high hitroll/damroll, and secondary attack items. Secondary attack items add an additional attack line but are not technically weapons. Even the weakest secondary attack items do really well if you have high hitroll and damroll. The two handed weapon bonus just increases how successful this build is.

In a solo setting, you will be simply attacking the enemy and using your skills that put the enemy in a non-standing position. Resting mobs take 25% more damage from all sources and cannot use any skills. A group setting is mostly the same, although you'll be raging more often to get the upwards of 25% increase in damage dealt. Sometimes, you will not want to rage in a solo setting as it caps your AC to -100 and prevents you from fleeing. If your AC is not very far from -100, then it doesn't matter how often you rage, unless you want to be able to flee from a tough fight.
