This is a pretty old warrior that I stopped playing awhile back. Just wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on what to change about his skills. There a tad bit sloppy as you can see.

I moved him to Illistim so if anyone could tell me some good hunting grounds that would be nice, too.

Wow. First of all, if you're going shield-heavy that's cool, for now kill the dodge training. Secondly, I'd let go of the MnE spell in order to 2x CM, and AT LEAST 2x in PF ( I'd go more but I'm a rare person these days ). Single in MoC and you should open up an ass-load of TP's.

Lol, I agree with the shield training. What about armor? Should I drop of few trains in that. Also, is it more effective in the long run dropping a few trains in shield and piling up on dodge, and is sword/board the way to go?

If anyone could list a few hunting areas in Illistim that'd be nice.

Free up to either 70 or 80 armor use (depending on if you subscribe to the manuever penalty theory), no point in having 81 ranks instead of 80. You can use MBP that way, so just let it lax for quite a few levels now.

[Stunseed]

Pick either dodge, or shield. For effectiveness, I'd choose shield use as it's cheaper and provides alot of benefit. I'd 2x armor from here on and get into full plate, personally.

Sword/board gives you more DS, though at the end THW and dodge training rawks. CM's can help, too as you can pick up blockmastery to increase EBP and Shield Bash/Charge is pretty sick with such heavy shield training.
