New glad

[Ateri]

So just started playing, could you help me decide what to do with him.

str:72
int:58
agi:83
stam:73
size:78
pres:56
chi:61

I know that int is very low but i bet there are some builds that don't need a lot.

Hello Ateri, welcome to the forums!

I'd probably try and take advantage of the Agil and go with a theatrics myself, using swords or exotics.

[Narol]

Considering his Stamina and Size, i would rather go for a Polearm War.

Polearm is the weapon that suffers the less from low int and will benefit from his high agility and stamina.

[Ateri]

Already started theatrics..
could use some tips on build tho like should i even bother with weapon skill (exotic) considering my int.
bleeder looks nice, what Fight Strategy should i use?

[Cynaidh]

Weapon skill is very important, it effects so many thing I know of very few managers who don't at least get it to 8 before looking at any other skills, some even go to 10 before any other skills.

As for the rest, i'd really suggest reading:

Oedi is the theatrics expert in this game, and that is a great guide he made that will probably answer your questions

[Ateri]

Thanks for answers guys. Going 13-0-0 right now =)
Have read this guide and i still have some question. what weapon should i use for higher bleed chance/damage (exotic), using claws and shield right now cant really decide.
Also thinking to buy this glad: str:62 int:64 agi:70 stam:78 size:78 pres:79 chi:68
How would you suggest to build him, thinking about tank war but str seems too low will he be able to wear heavy+shield will size be able to compinsate for that?

[Prinny]

Idd make that into a defensive Theatrics myself although many will probably disagree on that :P

[oedi]

When training exotic i usually go falchion. They give alot of bleed and got some nice power against heavier armor. Personally i wouldve used DW exotic this early in the career, and waited with shield until you get some decent skill lvls in exotic, SM, GV, CD, BF.

I wouldve made you next roll a theatrics also, and i think that looks like a better long term potential. How much you can carry only depends on your size. Siz 78 is probably just to low to equip the lightest heavy armor and a tower shield without getting encumbered.

[Ateri]

Hello again, didn't want to make a new post.
I think i have found a good one, could you please suggest what to do with him?
str 75
int 61
agi 64
sta 71
size 89
pres 74
chi 54

[Narol]

Personnally I wouldn't keep him... but you can try a defensive theatric as he should be abble to carry a tower shield and a big mace...

[crow]

I think he would make a good 2handed war. Go offensive, his intel and agility are a touch low for defensive. A Zmash type build would be great.

[Ateri]

isnt hes chi too low for 2h?
could war tank with shield work?

[CaineDeSoulis]

if you used a war tank stratagy you wouldent be taking advantage your agi.

[CaineDeSoulis]

War polearms would be better than a war 2handed in this case.
