need suggestion

[VenomLord]

First, Hey all...
I've only been playing pit of war for the past 2 weeks, so i'm new here.
Been reading a lot on theforum, and this is my first post.

I need advice, i'm about to buy my self a new slave with stat 87 65 69 72 83 60 55.
Because of the low chi and agility i've been thinking to make him another war.
Now i need some suggestion on
1. whether i should make him a 1h with shield, 2h or dual wield (str = axe right?)
2. If it's 1h, is it better to play tank or just parry bash/slash/lunge?
3. any advice on race is welcome.
4. is there any benefit in using spear? what are the disadvantage?

Thank you
