heldred Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I was thinking about a play-through using different warrior archetypes from history... Roman/Greek Soldier (Fighter/tactician + Ranger/stalker or sharpshooter... with hunting dog) Spear/stalkers + Shield/bronlars Spear/stalkers and Sword/gladiator Thrown Weapon Mod or Bow Musketeer (Fighter/blackjack + Rogue/streetfighter Rapier (Squids) Rapier and Pistol Arquebus Medieval Knight (Paladin/any + Chanter/Troub or Paladin/any + Priest/any) Weapon + Shield Two Hander Viking (Barbarian or Fighter + Druid or Fighter + Skald) Twin weapon Weapon + Shield when in trouble Warrior Monk (Monk/helwalker + Priest/woedica or Monk/helwalker + Rogue/trickster) Fists Weapon/kapana + Shield/tuotilo when in trouble Any suggestions on other archetype options (warriors only, which really means no mages or ciphers on this run)? Any suggestions on refining current lineup? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelee Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Roman/Greek Soldier (Fighter/tactician + Ranger/stalker or sharpshooter... with hunting dog) Spear/stalkers + Shield/bronlars Spear/stalkers and Sword/gladiator Thrown Weapon Mod or Bow If you're going for like a phalanx thing, it seems like Unbroken is tailor-made for this approach. Single class devoted + bladed weapon (single-weapon style or like an estoc) seems reminiscent of samurai tropes to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frak Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) As a dane, I'd like to point out that vikings have been misunderstood a lot. We were more helpful neighbors than warriors. See attachment. Edit: Your barbarian needs to be a berserker. It's a viking term. Skald is also norse. Means 'poet'. You could make a skald bard / berserker. a Bardserker or Skaldbarian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserker Edited January 31, 2019 by Frak 4 Nerf Troubadour!

Frak Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I'd also like to point out that the Norwegians - who tend to get pretty high on mountain air - have made a great TV series about the Viking culture.

Elric Galad Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) I would consider a Monk with single handed Scordeo's Edge as an oriental sword saint.High ACC for Swift Flurry and Heartbeat Drumming. Monk high INT to optimize the duration of blade cascade. Maybe Monk / Devoted for heavily armored samurai (blade cascade cancels recovery anyway). Use animancer blade as a backup weapon. Or Monk / Soublade to spam Mind Blade during the cascade. Just pretend it's not magical. By the way, macedonian Phalanx was more about Pikes than about Swords & Boards (contrary to old Hoplite phalanx.) Not sure it helps since macedonian style phalanx is rather useless in a small party, but this youtube channel is wonderful, so...

Come to think of it, I'm surprised there isn't a mod to wield anything one-handed, in both hands simultaneously. The shield (Bronlar's Phalanx) and spear (Stalker's Patience) was meant to be the best "Greek Hoplite" option, while the sword (Gladiator Sword) and shield (Shining Bulwark) was the "Roman Legionnaire" alternative.

Marigoldran Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) You missed Helwalker/Ascendant. But to mention that would be off-topic to this thread, like your post above, wouldn't it? Edited February 2, 2019 by Marigoldran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Did that stop you before? I can't imagine what it would look like when you have 5 party members with pikes/pollaxe/great swords and time it so that they all do Clear Out at the same time... preferably after surrounding the enemy. Berserker/Nalpasca is a great way to drown in wounds and spam abilities like Torment's Reach 24/7. Once you get Savage Defiance you can do without external healing (given you don't get pommeled too hard).
