If you already know which kind of weapon you'll use later on the game, specialize yourself in that kind of weapon. Then 9 or 10 skill points in the resist skill are enough, as the Iron Skin. Faster walk/run may help, then give it 5-10 skill points... Now, will you use 2 weapons? If yes, are they throwing weapons? If you answered yes/no, then use whirlwind... no/no : I heard that the leap attack is a great skill... yes/yes : no need to tell. no/yes : what are you doing?
Other skill points? Try some warcries if you play with people. Alone? Frenzy & Co are great.
Enjoy the 1001 possibilities!
