Stat distribution for 2H Melee

Post » Sun Dec 09, 2012 5:09 pm

So far I have leveled my 2H Heavy armor Melee character by going 2/1 Health/Stamina, I am level 33 at the moment and am playing on Master difficulty.

I am not sure if I should keep spending my stat points like this, or if it would be wiser to go 1/1 or even 1/2 instead. My stamina drains fast from power attacks, but I feel like I can't sacrifice a lot of health either.

Any opinion would be appreciated. ^^

There is a current thread here, while not titled the same, does provide some varied suggestions and playstyles for the 2H. They may answer your questions. http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1429347-tips-needed-for-using-two-handed-weapons/http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1429347-tips-needed-for-using-two-handed-weapons/

This is actually a debate that is brewing in http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1429347-tips-needed-for-using-two-handed-weapons/.

I recommend heavy stamina from the start, but another opinion is to spend nothing on stamina. Really depends on your gameplay style (how often you power attack, sprint, etc.). I almost exclusively power attack and sprint everywhere, so I spend points on stamina and health like 5 to 1.

EDIT: Dude above beat me to it :)

Thanks! Seems like stamina is recommended for 2H builds, so I'll try 2/1 stamina/hp from now on then :)
