i already covered this aspect of the game a while ago, Edit by Melcomdoesn’t like that people get offended by their lack of homework making skills
the optimal pve aspect of the game is fairly simple
31-10-40-0-10-11-20
also to reach a second 40 in another stat would required 170 points that arent there to go from 31 to 40 a second time
the reason is simple.
dlc offers 2 temp resist and +9 on a single stats and doesn’t require a specific crafter to be made or purge named crafter and from memory you dont need a specific perk or crafter to repair them. open to correction if im wrong on the repair part
By using:
EF khitan armor medium and EF pictish heavy armor with a named crafter( for DLC; beri or another crappy named crafter can do the job) you get a straight +9 bonus to strenght, and 10 bar in cold or heat resist.
OR
EF acquilonian medium , and hope FC releases the cold DLC version of vitality medium… you get the same bonus as mentionned above.
Also the reason i dont use max stats is simple, before someone tryes to be a smart ■■■ , is: it’s not worth it. and you never go under 50% unless you’re totally unlucky or the server decides to go apeshit on latency and fps
max encumbrance is nice by at the end of the day your bag has a slot limitation. and even BB tools can harvest at best 23 000 rocks before needing a repair. a good bearer can carry around 23k rock + weapon and shield.
i will wait for a few players on my server to get online later this aftrenoon//evening. and check with them for a non DLC armor set EF ,crafted with oisan, of the same type and post the results
You are better off with mixing armor sets, for +4/+5 (gives you a few extra points) and you can add pots/fish buffs and warpaint… (also there’s other armors with higher stats)
When your spec aren’t optimal it’s kinda hard to take your leetness serious.
also there is that medium vit cold armor… it’s not dlc.
And there is both light, medium and heavy non dlc str armors…
those stats are optimal like it or not.
i never go under 50% hp.and use pred blade master fitting, vdagger for bleed venom, and akbithan mist or solsteim.
i always carry soup, tea and arrows. like every good player in the game.
if you were a good player you would know this by now have fun.
There are a lot better builds than what you used in your screenshot, especially if you are okay with carrying a few other pieces of armor. For instance, instead of pumping points into survival, just carry zabweth shield, black blood tool and mask of witch doctor. The three pieces put you at 20 survival. As far as pve content goes and the whole thing about encumberment is the fact that most farmers carry repair kits and oils of bounty on them so they don’t have to go back to base constantly, making t5 encumberment very much worth it, especially if you are pulling a thrall. As for your build goes, either go the +13 strength(without buffs) or if you don’t want to run expensive armor, mix either cimmerian heavy with Pictish/hyborean slaver or if you want medium, mix aquilonian or cimmerian medium with lso refrain from insulting others just because they might have an idea as to how to make your build better and are trying to help you make it better.
Not my normal build. Just a suggestion with no special armors (that page doesn’t have a lot of the newer armors). And I normally use fish buffs instead of pots, so I only used the pots that give the same buffs.
grit 30 gives 1% dmg reduction. this wont save you from anything since 1% dmg reduction is totally irrelevant considering how much armor you have in the game
grit 20 only works when you’re out of combat, not climbing or not swimming. and it doesn’t make alot of difference in the overall stam recovery process. you will save 1 second at best of waiting on full stam recovery. alot of wasted point right there
survival 12 gives you raw food but you should have made survival 7.wasted points again
accuracy 1 is totally useless wasted point there
agility 7 + your buffs would have been better. more wasted points there
grit is not really for the perks, it’s for the stamina.
I know I could roll with 7 agi, but I like to have the perk without being buffed.
acc is the only place I could use the last point.
survival is just a dump stat. (like acc). I didn’t have enough point to get to another perk in a more useful stat and since the spec builder doesn’t have all the armors I didn’t care to really minmax the build. it was already better than your build anyway.
agi 10 reduced cost on sprint is really apparent in game
grit 10 really shows when climbing, teamed with climbing gear you can climb nearly anything in the game
enc 10 allows for a few more swings, or nealry hundreds of swings if you know what you’re doing ;).
and yes there are way better build but sadly, heavy armor being broken as hell and taking too much weight even if redux is applyed is a total turn off.
have fun.
