Level 54 Strength 143 + 15 = 158 Dexterity: 44 + 11 = 55 Constitution: 55 - 8 = 47 Intelligence: 10 - 1 = 9

Biggins Bonnet Boneweave for def(Rockfleece in reserve) Gravepalm Tearhaunch Frozen Blade x 2

I had a huge rough patch for the past 10-15 levels or so, my build just fizzled out - Was good when I got the Maul, but shortly after ended up losing often when fighting people. Ratio went down significantly. Then when I got the Frozen Blades, everything ended up a lot better.

This is mostly just thoughts towards the reset, and what I should strive for with my next bot. I feel like I don't have enough HP, hence why I got the highest DEF armor I could along with the Frozen Blades.

Any suggestions?

If you want a strength bot to be good all the way through.

Follow this.

Mauls -> Level 25ish
Gothic axes -> 35
Blackrazors -> 55
equalizer -> 70
brainbashers -> 85

You need to figure out your "next" build before you even get to your first build. Always be ahead of the game and plan your points. Try minimum con (level*.35) which will give you the chance to get some quicker armors and such. Also get like 15-20 base int to give you just enough kudos per train to make up for armor repairs.

But don't worry to much right now since beta is just about over.

Most bots have a pretty big weapon gap from level 25-40. Mauls (str), scarabs (balance), rapiers (dex) are all pretty good when you get them but fizzle out as you're waiting for the next weapon. I say go for whatever build is the most enjoyable for you, that's the most important thing.

@Alan: he said he feels like his con is too low... so you recommend min con :p

i usually try to keep my con on par with my level =) i hate not having enough hp. sometimes i think it should be 100 hp per stat point, or 50 =)

Faster weapons = minimum con Normal weapons = normal con slower weapons = lots of con

This time i dont agree with your Roman, seeing it is his first build i'd go to conq axes seeing this is a more safe choice with answerers next. Going more str is more risky when not making proper builds :)
