    Hey guys, aside from my Novitiate Hero, and Deebs's Heroic Spirits, anyone know any other Fate based builds? I think DocPGB had one, but the name alludes me

    As an addendum, the build was posted shortly before the site move

    He did indeed, the Knight of Traitorous Arms was a Berserker (Zero) based build.

    Didn't he do one of Rider (Stay/Night)?

    I'm really stuck what to play I've taken a break for months and still haven't made my mind up. At the minute I am struggling to play fully good characters as it restricts a lot of choices, I would like either an anti hero or someone quite grey/gray.

     

    I have played a hell of a lot of builds from this site, will try name a few so we don't get any repeats

     

    Night Reaver (CND)- Vampire Witchunter

    Hand of Almalexia- Silver Sword wielding destruction stealth warrior.

    The Last Dragonborn- Dragonborn hero

    Volkihar Tyrant- two handed beserker vampire

    Twilight of Meridia- Demon Hunter

    Thief (By Noodles)

    Mesmer

    Exorcist

    Seraphim

    Rise of the Fallen

    Hedge Mage

    The Outsider

    Knight Enchanter

    Mirage

     

    Please note a lot of these I never completed and a few I have tried to repeat a few times (much to my boredom)

     

    There is so much of the game I have yet to see and I've been playing since launch. I have never reached level 50. Looking back at my trophies now there is so much of the game I have not seen. Not sure I am the biggest fan of crafting but I'll try things. I want a nice lengthy playthrough this time where I can take my time. I am looking to explore a lot, so many locations and lore I have yet to uncover. Not a huge fan of exploits.

    How about a vengeful ninja? I noticed you've got a few Noodles builds in that list, and The Shao'kai is certainly a great grey build. It has quite the variety of melee skills, so it's hard to get bored (tired of slashing them down with a two-handed sword... try dual wielding... or maybe take them down by hand). While I didn't play this build exactly as written, I did structure something based hugely on it, and enjoyed it immensely :D

    What differences did you do Shinjin, I'd probably do mine as an imperial male, seems like it might be hard to do some of those skills as there is a lot to cover.

    I played her using Ordinator, and since you can perk unarmed skills in the light armor perk tree, I opted to drop Heavy Armor and One-handed. I kept everything else except for lockpicking, but obviously the perk allocations for Ordinator were different. I tended to use 2-handed for mobs for high damage and mitigate damage by blocking, while duels or low-level mobs got the fists of fury. Archery was used only for dragons or high-level bosses that needed softening up before I got in close with sword/fist work. 

    Just a great jack-of-all-melee-trades build.

    Finding melee boring, feel more inclined to a witch hunter as they are badass, any recommendations?

    I will do some self promoting here but oh well I like witch-hunter / mage - archers a lot and all three builds I 've posted up to now are of this type.

    Build 1

    Build 2 I had a blast with this one :D

    Build 3

    Hope it helped. Another good one I can suggest  is Shinjin's "Mara's Might" build which is an interesting build to go for.
