Help: Melee Focused Build Dual Wield/Shield + Which Class?
SomberSun
Soul Shriven
Hello,
I'm new to the game, and i've made a Sorcerer so far who's build was pretty straight forward in terms of combining class/skills that benefit each other. Now, i'm looking to make a character that focuses pretty much entirely on melee combat using the weapon skills. In particular dual wield and sword/shield.
As far as picking a class for my melee character, i'm not sure which one to go with. Is there a particular class that would benefit a melee build, where i wouldn't have to rely on any magical sort of magical skills? The character i'm trying to create is supposed to be a gritty warrior type, and i don't like the idea of sprouting dragon parts, searing people with sunlight or electrocuting stuff.
The only class that makes sense to me is Nightblade, but again there isn't anything there that i see benefiting a melee focused warrior. Can someone help guide me to pick the class that would most benefit a melee warrior build?
Thanks.

GreenGhostMan✭✭✭I would have to say NightBlade, but all class skill lines incorporate magical abilities. You'll want to use all weapon skill tree abilities to create a traditional melee warrior.Alozar [] AD [] vet7 High Elf Templar

Are you saying that there are benefits to having the skills of all the weapon lines if i'll still only be switching between two skill lines?GreenGhostMan wrote: »I would have to say NightBlade, but all class skill lines incorporate magical abilities.

No, not beneficial to have all skills... Only the skills in the two weapons you choose.
What I meant was to remove the "magical" effects/visuals from your warrior, you should only put weapon skills on your bar. Weapon skills have less "magical" visuals and effects.Alozar [] AD [] vet7 High Elf Templar
