Fight Strategy: Aiming & Defending

[Chthonic God]

Hey, I'm kinda new to this game, and I was wondering, how important is aiming and defending in combat. I'm using a 2H War gladiator with light armor (might change to medium), what should I be aiming for and what should I be defending? Any kind of help or advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

Welcome to the game. 1st of all, if you are using a war glad take advantage of the heavy armor. War's are the slowest glad by nature and 2H wars are even slower, so use the heavy armor to absorb as much damage as possible. As for aiming and defending, I would suggest you play with it and see what aim point gives you better results.

Good luck

If I've understood right how this game works is kinda very realistic, so.. if you are using an hammer or mace weapon aiming to head might bring nice results, as for swords or spears torso should be the target.. as I've read in the forum you've to think how you use those weapons in reality and that's much like how them will work in the game.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. Aim and protect really vital areas.
