Yo, iam trying to make a melee warrior build + stealth. Anyone have some good builds?

[faopcurious]

Don't know if i have a ''good build'' but running around doing 200 damage, or constantly knocking things on their ass is pretty sweet XD
I recommend having a decent amount of luck, dont just pump Endurance and STR and give yourself 2 luck, you will regret it I think.
And if you want to be a sneaker, pretty high INT as well, with maximum sneak you pretty much half the view range of snipers almost, and easier to sneak up behind them as well.
With 9 int you can max melee/HTH (which might not be necessary)  and get pretty high FA, and sneak.  You can sacrifice some FA, and melee for sneak if you wanted less INT.

You don't HAVE to max sneak for it to be effective either, you can have maybe 170
and someone with a sight range of 71 would only see you at 43 hexes, and if you sneak up behind them the won't see you until a few hexes at most.

If I am wrong about this anyone feel free to correct me.

And what about Gifted perk? Its viable on this type of builds? How EXACTLY i should put my special? And what third tag skill i should take (If not gifted in build)?
Sry for bad englindino, ima not americano, kapparino cappucino

Nono buildino requesterino. Twitch chatterino leave your ino.

You will be useless w/o high END (but don't go for more than 8 with a sneaker) even with a sneaker build, don't forget that this is no regular fonline. Your play-style will consist of cringing every second you are under fire, because if any of those shots make you winded or knockdown you - you can just logout because it's over (and or there is no cover nearby)
P.s.
Half of the fun is to make shitty builds at the start of the session, and near it's end laugh your ass off seeing how freaking stupid that was.

Theres no "exactly" recommendation on how to invest your specials for a melee build, you should consider what char adapts more to your playstyle.

For a melee build, you will of course need high survivability, so consider taking high EN, and defensive perks as Toughness and adrenaline rush.

PE dont gives you much, apart of the sight range and resistance to effects, so you can have it low. ST can also be low, only important bonus its the damage but you get better damage by taking Heavy Handed
High luck  its important for crits resistances and the critical chances. CH if you want to get leadership bonus.
And you will need high IN if you want to unlock more weapons perks

About taking gifted, of course its viable, but you will end with less level in your skills. probably will will have to choose between focussing in melee or sneak, but noth both, remember that silent weapons will unlock perks by the sneak skill so with max sneak you can have all the wepons perks for wakizashi and machete (and silenced SMGs)

[Myakot]

ST PE gives you cripple resistance>< go rush a sniper and get your limbs removed.

if you need maps I got some for either encrypted holodisks or blue memory modules

I would say a viable melee build in this would rely more on being a tank first, make yourself a stonewall, and get as much suppression resist and fast recovery that you can before getting any damage perks. A nice trick when you are really tough like this is to have a decent first aid too for healing yourself while your teammates kill the guys shooting you. You can manage to keep npcs held up for ages if you can maintain the damage and they don't switch targets.

You are likely going to be hit on accident by even your teammates when you get close, so defense is your best offense.

[Myakot]

"Maintain the damage" that's what bandaged status is for ^^.

K, so i think iam gonna pick Gifted and Heavy Handed, and max h-t-h DMG in every level. Dont need sneak. Full tank rlz. Gonna see how it will work. Thx for help all.

Hey Casual.

So, how's your build going?
Do you only use defensives perks?

Is there another way? .

[Fayfay]

I'm thinking about a melee/thrower guy.

Are flashbang effectives? I didnt see them un combat...

[Casual]

Yeah, Full Tank is only viable thing i think. He kinda suck early, but later... Damn, didnt expect such power I take gifted, spend all points to hand to hand, and its really cool. For now i play energy weapon guy.

[Fayfay]

Wich Hth score d you xant to reach with gifted? 200? 225?

I suppose you are meaning "If I should go for 250% HtH"?
Almost every HtH weapon's 5th perk is "Hit the Gaps" (which reduces target's DR\DT by 10%).
So it's your choice, whether you want to be a threat to guys dressed in good defencive gear or to spend those somewhere else.

[Fayfay]

Is it even possible to go to 250% with gifted?

Gifted+Skilled+10INT

[Fayfay]

But 10int means sacrifice somewhere. In the tanky part of the build...
Or maybe lowering PE to 4 is not that hard...

I'm trying it with

7
6
10
2
8
8 (or 7, don't remember, i'm at work atm ^^)
6

Gifted&heavy handed.

4 PE is doing okay for me. I was thinking about going 1 PE and buff sight range with perks, but idk if that will be viable.
