I posted a while back that I wanted to make a tank warrior. This is my first proper try at it and I'm pleased with the result but there are things I'd still like to improve on. With cleave I would like to get hold of bleed or venom to do more damage to multiple foes. Thorns is ok. I would also like to drop steadfast. I only took those boots for the armour.
My brawn was a big issue in most of the battles. I could only chip away at enemy health and some fights took a mindnumbing length of time but then I hardly took much damage. I suppose this mimics being a tank well as tanks should take damage but do the minumum of dps. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works in the coperative play talked about for book two. I think having a tank might be good to soak up hits!! 
no question
