Lots of strength and big two hander. Swing like a crazy person till you learn how to block. Maybe you will be better than me with a shield, I sucked until I started using a two hander...I still suck, but at least I kill people now. Getting a
little better at blocking, but still terrible at it... But at least when I get into a big fight, some mother
er is going down with me.
Digglez is right about the scimitar, especially if you are a real newb, it is almost ideal
not being able to do anything but slash. You
will accidentally do the stab and while you go "shit, I didn't want that" the dude will hug up on you and slash your face off.
