I’ve been rolling with just the knight class. Seemed the most basic. I’ve been going 2-14, 4-20, 5-18, not good. Still it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve actually laughed out loud a few times. I would like to makes some improvement obviously and help the team. I play the objectives, but I know I’m dying way to much, and getting very few kills.

I’ve been trying to create a custom class, but it feels like it’s definitely lacking. Anytime I use it I get smoked. The Zweihänder i think is unlocking soon. Should I use that? That seems very popular. What should the rest of the armor and perks be? Am I better off using the knight class until a certain level?

Thanks boys

I’d put on something like 9 9 6, that’s the heaviest armor possible in each slot and then look through what weapons you can fit in with that build. I personally think that the longsword, greatsword, short spear and bastard sword are all very solid weapons to start learning on. The friendly and tenacious perks are your friends. Try to be mindful of where you’re at on the battlefield. New players have a tendency to tunnel vision and wander into the enemy team where they get surrounded and killed. Try to keep friends to your sides and behind, focusing on the enemy in front of you with stabs and overhead slashes. The game has a steep learning curve but once you get the hang of it you’ll be hooked like the rest of us.

also i think poleaxe is nice as well, longer weapons will help when you're still getting a feel for weapon reach and footwork and stuff :)
