In preparation for the imminent release I thought that it'd be nice to have a topic in which we could gather interesting builds and/or ask for advice regarding character creation. Since the topic's placed in the Gameplay section, the aim is to primarily concentrate on the mechanical side of the process; though some lore background certainly wouldn't go amiss if anyone's inclined to provide one!
I admit I've been out of the loop for quite a while, not having played the beta extensively - so I'll start off with some questions of my own - any help from the beta veterans would be greatly appreciated!
Bleak Walker Pistoleer
Human, Paladin
Armed with a greatsword and a pistol. The basic idea is to have a frontline character who can support the group but also deal respectable damage.
Might - 18
Constitution - ?
Dexterity- ?
Perception - ?
Intellect - ?
Resolve - PROFIT
Talents:
Weapon Focus Ruffian - the bread and butter of the build, increasing accuracy with pistols.
Close Shooter - should serve the build well, I intend to wade into melee quite often.
Penetrating Shot - decreased attack speed shouldn't hurt at all, since the plan's to unload both pistols at the start of the combat and then continue fighting with a greatsword.
Arms Bearer - to increase the synergy from all the aforementioned talents.
As for the remaining two talents, I'm having some doubts. Which would you pick?
The Black Path - fits the character concept well, not sure how useful it is in actual combat, however.
Two-Handed Style - to increase melee power.
Quick Switch - seems to go well with arms bearer; not sure how big of a benefit it would be to this particular build.
Weapon Focus Soldier - might be mandatory due to the lack of melee enhancing talents.
Disclaimer:
I've have had very limited experience with the beta, so this build is probably terrible. Admittedly, I'm not to worried about its power level (in singleplayer games I tend to forgo min-maxing) - all the same, would really appreciate pointers, tips and comments!
So, without further ado, let's see your build ideas!
Sorry if such topic already exists - I've searched but couldn't find one.
