I can't speak to much about a THW empath since I play casters, but I can tell you that spell aim is an all or none thing. Either double spell aim or don't train in it at all. If you single in it, you're not going to hit anything hard enough to make it worthwhile.

Not sure if it's a fast growth stat for Empaths but that 20 LOG is going to really hurt, if you are going to tank something why not INF?

Just 20 logic? Yeesh!

Umm, why do you have spell aim at all? You are going to be swinging for your main attack. Just drop it completely. I don't think I trained a single CMAN or blessing lore until I was able to wear brig and heal myself in combat without being stuck in unacceptable RT. Also, getting 219 and 120 for the extra DS is pretty important. I was at about 2.5x spells until I got 225 and 130. That was simply preference, but you might want to consider training that way until you get 219 and 120.

Another point that I will make is that if you have your stats set to max at cap, you're going to be missing out on a ton of TPs. I just fix stated and lost almost 450 TPs. If I had had those stats back in my 40's-80's, I don't think I would have been able to train effectively enough to be a THW empath.

Influence is one of the empath's main stats. Tanking it will lose a ton of training points.

Somethin like this. If you're swinging, screw spell aiming. Your CS cast will still be high enough to hunt with when need be, and you're swinging. You just lose bolt spells.

You can give or take a bit for preference, especially the lores. Transformation is to help me not entirely suck at healing. I'm not entirely specialized in it, but I can very much sit in TSC and heal with no problem if I feel like it. Blessing lore you get +1 AS per 10 ranks with the heroism spell. It also helps to auto-heal scars when you heal yourself and with trolls blood and a few other spells. Blessings is a very handy lore for an empath.

I had a few other goals I was trying to reach first like being able to use 225 and 130 for rescue and training up to brig n what not. I did fine without 1x'ing up to that point
