Ethereal

My new idea:

1 - Get a big ass shield.

2 - Make it cap Thorns and MIT when you equip it with your equipment.

3 - Fight with two handed weapon until you need to tank (Parrying here).

4 - Switch to your shield, turtle and howl.

5 - Profit.

6 - Max out Block and Safeguard at some point in a million years.

7 - Max out a one handed weapon so you actually fight back.

You know you can have more then one heavy armour piece. Like a chestplate and a helmet. That way you get both enchantment :)

I opted for a max. regen. instead of max. thorns on my other heavy armor piece. If I had Howl I could be a fairly nasty tank... especially once I top out the heavy armor skill.
