8-9-13-21-17-5-11 PL/LU

Train STR first then skills from then. Could consider WS with those numbers but I like more STR for WSs

Seems like a nice rollup. What do YOU think?

To be honest I haven't really sat down and thought about it yet. Or didn't start, until now. I definitely can't look at numbers and an instant reaction.

But I have a million bad ideas...

First thought would definitely be 21/17 Lunger, so I guess I'm learning. But I probably would have gone 9-9-13-21-17-5-9... and then I'd really be stuck on where to put that extra point... probably would have put it on ST. But I'm natually a little worried about the low speed. I never had a good lunger unless he had speed.

So I might have gone 10-9-13-21-17-5-9 Slasher

I like Bashers, and would be tempted 12-9-13-21-17-5-7... But not enough power. Train ST obviously, but still too weak. Never have luck with smaller Bashers. Might also try to get clever and go 14-9-13-17-17-5-9

WOS are a total mystery to me. But for laughs, here's what I'd do if I was forced to to WOS: 11-10-13-17-17-5-11.

All of the above is just my kinda opening thoughts... not that they're likely to get too much better with time! That Slasher would win, probably, but I'd know I'm not doing it right... so would wait to read what you guys say on the forum. And here we are!

Can't see adding to anything but WT/WL/DF for the
8-9-13-21-17-5-11 LU
Seems much better than the 9DF slasher.
But the slasher will work, and we need to run what will be FUN for ourselves.
If we were to make a slasher, and we do a lot, it would have these same numbers as the LU.

Wouldn't train the ST until it seemed necessary.
Might throw a CN train on it too.
A nice looking lunger. (or slasher if one wants)

I would probably make it 8-9-13-21-17-5-11 Striker or Parry Striker. Good winning arena warrior. With lunger or parry lunger I want good endurance. So lunger or parry lunger would be same set up and train into GOOD endurance. ST then WL. That should get it. Of the two I would likely go Parry Lunger for the scimitar use though the lunger wouldn't have too much trouble with SS. Next tier to me would be same numbers as a slasher. Don't like the weapon selection for Basher. Might be fun as a TP or WoS but maybe not a great record. Train to 9 St right away in any case.

Thanks for all the input, guys!

How would you run this as a Lunger? Maybe (probably!) I've been doing it all wrong.

Mucho appreciado!

10-10-X. No more than leather and steel cap. I would just go steel cap and no armor. You need good endurance. Train ST first. That will give you SS suitability. Likely need a second train. WL or CN. See what it learns see what bonuses or hosings it might have and go from there. Happy hunting.

Ha! That's how I always run all lungers... which was why the low speed spooked me. Granted, I've not been back for long... and didn't even play TOO long as a kid... but always had mixed results with them.

We'll see!

Looks VERY nice. Have fun!

I also echo the consensus design. Style choice is interesting, though. The 8 strength and physicals suggests striker, though any scimitar wielding style would probably work fine. I probably wouldn't go lunger, though I'm sure similar guys have rocked as lungers. I like his skills as a TP. Might do that, personally. As always, evaluate your own goals and pick the style based on what you want. Styles I'd STAY AWAY FROM with those numbers: AB, SL, BA. And also as always, PL & PS are not as good as other choices!

8-9-13-21-17-5-11 ... Striker for me. Good arena and tourney warrior for sure.

I wonder what 8-9-13-21-17-5-11 would look as a WoS.
