Required Skills
Build Description
This build is based around raging while having a huge pool of hit points and multiple type of damage mitigation (Block, Parry, Dodge, 10 mit, innate defense) to outlast opponents with bastion, recuperation, iron will healing and hit point regen to make down time between fights shorter.
Two-handed weapons of which you can choose Strength or Constitution type weapon, benefit more from damage roll and with weapon mastery sometimes get an additional swing, also while wielding a two hander your damage cap increases to 197 from 124
Riposte deals damage based off the damage of the weapon your wielding + training level of the skill so two-handed ripostes do considerably more damage one handed / dual wielders. With Block, Parry and dodge level 2 you can riposte off all 3.
Blindside and Wrestling both have a chance of daze further reducing the damage taken.
Headbutt and Warcry are your bread and butter on a success they stun or paralyze increasing damage dealt to the target while they can't attack back the best sort of damage mitigation.
