I've just started a new theatric, and i was wondering what people thought of the vision i have for her.

Dunder. 73, 64, 73, 67, 87, 67, 59.

I wanted to go for a slow, hard hitting, high defence, shield-bearing, hammer/axe wielding, counter attacking fighter. The idea was with her high size, and decent strength and agility, she can wear the the heaviest medium armour and the biggest shield, so wont take too much damage per hit. I was going to go mainly for a counter attack style. My understanding of counter attack is every time you take a hit you give one back, so high defence/armour and good strength with a slow weapon should mean i generally give back more than i take. Combined with high size (health) i should out last the other guy.

With a bit of fiddling with fight strategy, hopefully i can get it so that if i do meet a 2 handed fighter i can go defensive and create distance until they tire, then jump in a start beating them with my club when they're defence is down. I know my stamina isn't great, so may have to train the endurance skills in the theatrics tree, although this could be tricky because i wanna go heavily into rage so i can hit properly on the counter.

Any ideas/comments?

When should I start using my shield becauise i tried to equip it before id trained in it and it almost lost me the battle!

Cheers
