GoS Warrior

[Nialas]

I have a 25th level Warrior that I'd like to fixskill and give GoS a try. Will sword and shield cut it damage-wise, or should I go for two-handers and dodge and hope for the best defense-wise? That's the eternal question.

I am a guild berserk master, so I'm leaning towards the sword and shield. I don't think I can go for the bastard sword flexibility and still have points for MO and ambush.

I've always been against sword and board myself. If you insist on using sword and board just make sure you are using a hand axe or a falchion. Berserking is vital, especially if you are soloing. Just pay attention, and make sure you stop berserking when you need to, and don't try to be greedy.

Personally, I'm THW with 2x dodge, spelltanked, and I do fine. I also have a lot more redux than you do, so I don't really care if I get hit.
