Been playing EK about two weeks, and do my best to absorb as much info from forums and wiki as I can. I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for though, so thought I'd post my current build and see what improvements you guys can recommend. I have respected twice so far, and due to the cost increase hoping to stick with the next one for a while. Don't really have any issues with DPS or survivability, but always looking for the obvious improvement I missed.
Level: 17
Traits:
STR: 7(9)
END: 5(6)
AGI: 1
INT: 0
AWA: 0
PER: 1
I mainly focused on STR obviously, END was my second choice, but it seems like it's not really worth it at 5 base & 1/lvl. The point in AGI & PER were impulse to use up remaining points, so no qualms with moving them.
Skills:
Whirlwind IV
Two-Handed III
Cleave III
I absolutely love Whirlwind & Cleave, because of the aoe. I'm used to playing tank characters in rpgs, so herding groups is my bread and butter.
Advanced Skills:
Heavyhand III
Body Development III
I took Heavyhand for the added damage, and body development for the HUGE hit point increase(tank life).
I've looked over the other advanced skills on the wiki, but wasn't sure if any of the other would be of better use.
Gear:
Head: Legion Helm
Torso: Legion Breastplate
Hands: Legion Gauntlets
Neck: Blessed Necklace
Back: Iron Will Mantle
Legs:Legion Leggings
Feet: Plate Mail Boots
Waist: Girdle of the Warrior
Weapon: Cruelty
Ring: Ilmaran Signet Ring
Ring: Oasis Ring
I plan to change boots to Legion Boots once I get them to drop, I've been farming Mercian Crypt relentlessly.
I change rings if I need a resistance boost, but these two are my usual.
Cruelty has been a great weapon, but I'd love a damage boost.
My biggest concern with armor is that I'd rather trade the Legion fire/ice resistant for a better set that has higher armor/hp for no resistance but as far as I know Legion is the best thing right now.
Also, I use Hirge the cleric as a companion, I wouldn't mind if someone posted up a good build for her. I'm currently gearing her for increased mana, and her skills are somewhat thrown together, mostly focused towards healing. She sure is squishy though.
All feedback is welcome and appreciated!
