Hello, you should get both, also, 1 point in shield.
Actually, DEFINITEVELY one point in shield. You need old board shield else you are getting murdered by archers.
My build is 35/3, 11 PS, 10 life (forgot name, whatever), 1 wm, 1 athl, 1 shields. Works sweet.
Ps: get a blunt weapon. Else full strength isn't worth it. I would suggest maul or bar mace.
