Lots of work has already been done and out there. Look into youtube stuff Firespark, Wak, Kiah are all good sources of general information (Firespark’s content is getting stale and I think he has dropped the game for the time being but still pretty good information). smskcntr has great tutorials on builds.
check the wiki (Official Conan Exiles Wiki). It was really bad with Siptah knowledge but that has gotten better in the past few months.
Best advice I can give…experiment and play. Your best tool is your creativity and vet that out in solo and use the admin panel to test your ideas out. And if you PvP, never…ever get attached to the stuff. It’s all 1’s and 0’s that technically aren’t yours to begin with. Play like a person you wish to encounter vs what you do encounter…rise above the fray and hopefully others will follow you. On one of the Facebook groups I listed my 10 commandments of PVP, If I find it, I’ll share it.

Hehe… If I went PVP I think my nature would bring me to Chaotic Evil aligned Marauder faster than the babysitter’s boyfriend when the car pulls up.
foudn the rules…here you go
Rule #1. Trust no one at first. Still be cordial but assume they are only trying to friend you in order to raid you…in fact you should provide false information to the chatty people that wanted you in their group. Rule #2. Build small and out of the way…hidden. Rule #3. Never get attached to your stuff and always have an exit strategy or back up base. Rule #4. Remember that you are playing against others and what you see of them, they see of you. Eventually they will take notice that you are online and scout for you. Give them something to find, a fake base…make sure it is a pain in the @$$ to crack into…you can even throw in a level 1 blacksmith in the center of a solid cube of foundations to entice them to get to it. Rule #5. Decay timers are a thing that can give you away. Make sure you visit all of your locations before logging off in order to ensure they think they found the right base. Rule #6. If you have friended folks from the server, make sure your turn your profile to offline status so they can’t glean where you are from your updates. Rule #8. Dungeon/vault crawl at times there is minimal people online. PVP folk have tendencies to camp at locations where they know you went into and wait till you pop out while your screen is loading and kill you. Rule #9. Use maprooms carefully. See rule #8. Rule #10. Remember that stuff comes and goes…toxicity is what stays. If there are toxic clans, find their hidden spots and tell others toxic clans. Let them battle eachother to oblivion. Pick up the piecesright afterwards while they are thinking they won alpha spots. Hopefully one or both rage quits.

- Stat and equip yourself and your thrall to be complements to each other. If you have a hard hitting thrall, give yourself a sunder weapon. Never give your thrall and you the same effect…it’s wasted compounding. Bleed or poison only goes so far…bleed plus poison is a different beast.
Lol… apparently 7 is still confidential.
Here are some good ones to fill the spot.

Oh BTW power player Siptah tip…use the summoning pools to snag fragments. Shaggai are the easiest to beat and each (of the five) provides a fragment and a schematic. So after you are done killing all five, you got a new recipe and 5 fragments of power. I believe Husks are the same but they are just a little bit harder to kill.
? That’s where you place the statue/figurine and the water swells up and dudes appear?
Yep

You need to reduce acc to 0, get at min 30 vit. And reduce survival to 0, and get grit to min 30. You need the stam to stack attacks with bleed, and vit up as well. If you can get grit to 40, you get a damage taken reduction iron skin or something.

Ok just gear up your thrall and kick him in there. Sit back and have a coffee and wait it out lol.

Let me give some advice I’ve learned over the years. This can be applied to much more than just Conan Exiles.
In competitive PVP and in competitive gaming in general there are three aspects you must keep refined. These aspects are What you Know, What you Have, and Who you Know.
-
What you Know is your personal skill, experience, and knowledge of the game. As you play the game you learn more about it. As you engage in discussions, you learn more. When you do research on wikis, articles, videos, etc. you learn more. When you engage in testing and training. You learn more about the game and become better and better. Lacking this aspect can make you a deadweight in a team and cause you to be blindsided by unorthodox tactics. Being strong in this aspect means you can hold your own, respond to unexpected events and tactics, and generally being able to dominate in small scale confrontations.
-
What you Have is your character’s levels, feats, skills, equipment, base, and everything that can be attributed to progress in the game. This one is pretty simple, do you have a leveled up character, have all needed feats, have materials banked up, and have decent gear? If not, then you could potentially be a dead weight and not be able to support or sustain yourself. If so then you are on your way to being competitive.
-
Who you Know is your personal network of friends, allies, guildmates, and other individuals who can help rather than hurt you. This is also your ability to work well with others. Having charisma to lead, and humility to follow orders when you’re not. This is also your ability to avoid needless conflict and being able to talk your way out of a situation that might otherwise go bad. Being weak in this means having little to no allies to help you, or having other people routinely stomp you down because they feel better about doing so than not.
You need all three aspects to be successful. If you lack experience but have great gear and friends. You might be losing more equipment to the enemy than gaining. If you lack gear but have friends and experience, well you’re not contributing much. If you are God’s gift to the game and its PVP as far as skill goes and have the best gear in the game. Some kid with a dozen followers on Twitch can just roll over you with raw numbers.
Not to mention being strong in some aspects does help fill in gaps in the others where needed. This can also be applied to PVE in some cases too. Let’s be honest, PVE has competition too. Everyone wants to be able to clean out bosses in the fasted way possible to be the ‘best.’

Yeah, he killed my level 10 T4 thrall with heavy armor and 100% health - no special armor pieces tho - in just one or two hits… While my screen was asking me “Bed or Bedroll”.
I think these guys are right though and my Vitality is just set WAY to low. I haven’t changed it up yet in order to try tho… Soon… I want that truncheon! 
I need (want) to start replacing all my T3 thralls with T4s… As it is I think I have fifty T3 (Fighter/Archer), three T4s, and 25 Greater Bears. Almost all of whom have been leveled to between 10 and 12 with one T4 and one greater bear maxed.

Are you using the right food when leveling thralls? Each food provides boosts in your probability to increase certain stats. Play on their strengths…IE I use gruel to feed my berserkers because it gives moe an extra 14% probability of getting strength up (each point of strength is worth more to a berserker than another thrall). Meanwhile a Teimos should get cooked savory steaks because that adds 14% on vitality (each level of vitality is worth more than anything else). Animals are all special and you’ll need to look them up on the wiki.

Yeah, all my thralls are raised on gruel. And the one The Judge killed also had just been administered a strength and a vitality potion IIRC. That’s what scared me into coming here and asking questions. He one-hit me with heavy armor, and then in 3 seconds obliterated my L10 T4 like she was butter.
That’s a good tip about using the Wiki to know what foods to use. I’m on there a lot looking those things among others, up.
I had encountered The Judge once before but that was me on my dedicated server in god mode just briefly checking out my new IOS download. So I knew he was tough but I thought maybe there was something else I didn’t know when all this happened. And there was too - that I’m such a n00b I didn’t realize the importance of Vitality. 
I can see you are a novice to the game, I remember those days. Your right about your attribute selection, that seems like a farming attribute set, definitely not for fighting. Both the judge and arena champion are very easy for me, although I have mastered pve combat. I use a combination of knockdown mechanics, dodge/rolling/blocking, poison weapon, and thrall aggro. As I find it hard to explain how I fight, and I can’t show you, I will just tell you what gear and attributes I use when in fight mode. Armor: wolf helm, black knight pauldron, bracers of the serpent, black knight tasset, frost giant boots. Weapon: Feroxic 1H axe. Shield: fiend bone shield. Attributes: 25 in enc, 30 in grit, 30 in vit, 20 in agility, all the rest in strength. With the armor set I use and the shield equipped its +37 to Strength (from memory). So my str ends up being at the 5th perk. Unless you are a bow build do not put any points in accuracy and definitely not in survival. I only use survival attributes when I respec to farm stone with the 3rd perk. With this setup I can kill both without the use of a thrall. And I can do it it quick. But I use the thrall to get aggro from the boss most of the time while I wreck them from behind. Also I do use warpaints and buff potions to really get them done quickly. I just started streaming so if I get a chance maybe one of these days I can record my fights. Good luck
Another tactic is to take a thrall and get just out of his aggro range. have thrall unflow. get another thrall and then have it attack. go grab and have the 1stvthrall follow. then go in and watch as thralls 2v1 him with you acting As a healer with arrows
That’s another thing, give your thralls pork or haunch to slowly heal when you take the aggro.

Also, give your thrall a mace. Best one you have. they do alot of destroying, and knockdown as well with it. You should have a 1 h ax as well. time attack start early so you make contact on 3rd and 4th strikes, knocking judge down. then time attacks as he gets up.
And lastly, pay attention when you attack. If the Judge stops getting staggered retreat. Let the timer cool (@5 secs) to reset stagger effects. They built in a limit to staggers before NPCs go terminator tank mode.
