To have a fair chance to quickly kill both melee and casters i don't think the typical fotm board and sword spec will pay out so how about a "balanced" spec like 45 Shield, 44 Celtic Spear / LW, 39 Blades, 18 Parry?
Thoughts!

(Don't say your speced 32 CS .... QQ and again qq) Thought by now that everybody hade figured out that u need to have 50 in lw or CS and 42 shield for slam.

50 CS 42 shield 39 blade 6 parry is only way to spec. You wont be able to do deacent dmg with 32 CS .....
(Think Elrand piced 34 blades to get abit more parry for some soloing but thats kinda the only change u can make if your going to group play, without being a complete gimp)

50cs/lw, 42shield (fk tactics), 34blades, 20 parry with 0 points (!!!) left to spend. There is nothing better, so you can end the discussion here and bow to me again! Thank you.

P.s. I might use some treewood (Sacre) for my spear if i switch back to spear, gdm tree's need to be chopped! :<

wrong.

for a solo spec, sacres is near perfect (would be perfect if he was blunt :p) you dont need 50 in CS or LW at high RR 32+18/19/20 is fine. You also keep the defence from s/s or b/s and the best style in hib (if you go blunt) at 50 blunt, if the hero parries you probably die.

Its a very nice hybrid template 50 blunt, 10 second stun 2nd in parry chain, whip out the LW or CS to do 10 seconds worth of heavy positional styles. most of the time people purge the 2 second stun from the block reactive anyway, so purging stun isnt really an issue :p

And speaking of chopping wood, i want SoK encounter for mah hewo! And a nice spearo hero template to go with it. That 50% abla on sok is just too good to leave laying around with all these fotm arms.

Thats the one elrand piced but as I said just to be able to handle the solopart abit better for grouplay that extra parry aint really needed.

Hmm ye it is interresting for solo perhaps, though it makes me wonder.

50blunt/blade over 50cs/lw. What will dish out more dmg over time (?) and vs squisy targets i'd rather have the 50lw/cs anyway. To add to that, you can have cele tincture's running for your 2h, but your 1h is closer to capped spd anyway.

Ye true, but i get more util from 34/20 then from 39/6. Plus there's 0 points left to spend, which i like :|

I don't get anything but a little weaponskill from it and the slowed effect is in the blade parry chain aswell. I'd rather have 14+ in parry then for solo purpose.

For group 50 lw 42 shield 39 blunt ...
