Well, many high level fighters, Like one of the old Admins( AndyB) said that using 1 handed swords later on is very good because of the added defense from the shield that you cant carry when you use a two handed weapon. That extra defense makes a big difference later on, since shields add as much as a piece of armor. Of course, you can just use 2h weapons. That is only one persons opinion.

Make sure you add 25 points to SPR. Just because your spirit reaches 25, doesnt mean you get the 5% crit. YOU have to use 25 of your stat points to get the 5%

I know about the added defense but i'm just not a 1h kinda person. I'm going to try and pick between 2h Swords or 2h Axes. My friend gave me his 2h Sword and once I do the level 20 quest i'll grab a 2h Axe and compare them to one another. I'll pick the one that I feel most comfortable with. I'll probably go 2h Axe because it just reminds me of my character from Final Fantasy XI. He was an Elvaan Warrior who used 2h Axes. I was pretty bad ass. xD

I know. I still feel kinda weird about placing my stat points there. I sort of feel like i'm wasting them. But I trust you guys. You're all obviously more experienced than I am and its always great to learn from those with more than knowledge yourself. Then again... learning from your mistakes might be better except... making a mistake in this game usually means re-making your character, lol.
