I'd try 39 crush, 50 DW, 42 shield, rest in parry if you are okay with switching shield/weapon and use a crafted buckler when facing one opponent.
I had 39 slash 42 shield and 50dw quite awhile ago.
Actually quite a nice spec just can get tiresome switching shield etc all the time.
I just used a crafted shield
Isnt 1.87 also free autotrain patch ? So 31 parry instead of 28 ... Yay !!!1
Also , with shield/parry love i reckon a 50 shield merc would be viable
large shield and merc?spec is final, u have any ideas of what shield would be nice? im thinking a large shield for multiopponent blocking - and last, when is the nerf?
