Funny builds

[Zaimda ^-^]

Hello Everybody. After i saw one talisman that gives me more dmg by throwed weapons and another that makes any unarmed hit (just hand, without weapon) everytime crits i may to ask you did you try maybe go full into unarmed style or full into Throwing?
I do not reach magic build by my own because im not too far yet but it also seems playable and funny :D
Give me your opinion please

the only viable build is a build that keep your enemies far from you and still you have to be a fast dodger, so spear with no shield, two handed axe, or the mage build but it is painful for the first 3 act so i guess everyone go with spear and axes(and no shield)

Sword and shield full parry is good. At least in 1v1's. I was killing people who are one shotting me levels of difficulty by just getting good and chain parry stunlocking

cant say if its funny but in my first playthrough i bested the arena mostly with crow feets, root traps in combination with the talisman wich buffs traps by 100 %.

Not very funny, but that's my build :
- Get Base Focus to 60
- Get Focused Blow for spear
- Get Ring of Blood (Lantern of Lament questline)
- Start each fight with Summon Obsidian Spear (from Drivanius) to get to 100 focus
- Cast Focus Shape to get 100% damage increase and 50% stamina cost reductions
- Just spam spear attacks. Shape spell will last quite long due to Focused Blow.

Currently, I haven't found a stronger build.

Holly it feels really powerfull. I do not obtain magic yet but some players discus about pure magic build is the strongest in the game but i guess your idea can compare with them :D

Unarmed is broken beyond belief once you get that "Thorny Cestus" accessory. Just put everything on STR and you will deal more damage than any existing weapon.

You mean everything like literally everything? No skinning, no alchemy etc? I guess theres no gloves that increases your punches dmg, just thorny cestus? xD

You only need the Cestus to deal constant crit hits. Whereas with other weapons, you do need to invest quite a lot of points in DEX to reach at least 50% crit chance. Daggers have the "Surpirse!" talent that gives a 40% crit chance after a dodge.

My point is, weapons, rely in different mechanics, whereas the unarmed hits, only need STR and the Cestus to melt enemies health bars.

But it's always a matter of preference :) for me, there's nothing like smack enemies with my bare hands.

My first playthrough was Axe focused. Did waste a bunch of learning points here and there trying different weapons, but yeah, Ended up Axe all the way.
Slower but decent reach, hitting hard enough using the Legendary one sold by the raiders and rounding it up with magic on the side.

Second playthrough, i'm going full on Cestus Monk (Str/Mind only) and while it was a slow start, once you get past a certain amount of Str you start hitting like a truck. Might lose some of it,s efficiency later on ( still act 1 ) but so far i'm having a blast

why cestus do not utilize shield? You do less damage with shield? Like you hit with only 1 arm or something?

In my experience this is untrue, its not terrible but bleed doesn't seem to stack and the range is non-existent, but this might be a difference in difficulty

I just reached Act IV, but this is my build:

1H Sword + Sling
Shout, Pierce attack, Magic Missile, Blink
Light armor
My Talisman, Ring of Blood, Focus/Melee buff ring, Mind +5 ring

At classic difficulty:
I failed Hardcore when I wandered into a Leshen...
I cleared the map other than Leshen and certain human enemies/draugrs in Act I
I completely cleared the accessible map by Act III.

My fights revolve around dodging and destroying the enemy's stance. Then I unload the bleed damage on them. I have enough focus to pierce immediately. But for a while, I just kept shouting at people... So I guess that is kind of funny.
