Found a build, need a weapon.

Do you prefer slashing over stabbing? If you are more of a slasher go for the Danish Great Sword, Sword od War or the Highland Claymore, if you are a stabby person go for the German Greatsword, the Great Sword is probably one of the best all-round swords, imo.

The people above me have already give great advice on builds, I hope this helped choosing a weapon with it.

Practise longsword untill you can use your main weapon, Sword of War

Lot of good info here, thanks for all the replies. 

Made it to level 12ish last night and it is getting better every level. First 10 levels in,  couldn't even kill anyone. Bought a Heavy Bastard Sword and some Mail armor. Actually got a few kills in some rounds.

One last question and I will stop bugging everyone. What is the preferred attack/block setup?

I've been using mouse movement for both. I do good on attacking but really bad on blocking. I can't seem to block faster then they swing.

Based on chat I think most people prefer the keyboard setup. I have tried it once or twice, and I just can't do it. I love the mouse directions because it makes the mouse feel like my hand is going into the game and I feel the swings and blocks. Gets more adrenaline going for me thus making the game feel more intense/fun.

Based on chat I think most people prefer the keyboard setup.

Most players use the mouse for both attacking and blocking.

Yeah, use the mouse.  Practice makes ... better, haha.  Glad you're having fun.
