Wish we could duel, we would find out who would win that way :)

i wasn't aware that piercing damage completely ignores armor - the loading screens disappear to fast to read any of the text. if i'm not completely of, even dagger basedamage is 50/50 physical/piercing though - with a crafted dagger you can probably optimize it to something like 30/70, but that's still a non-negligible fraction.
i don't really care about dueling, but playing the game. and there i don't want to snail around in stealth for a single (or two every 30-60 seconds - can't remember the cd of smoke bomb) big hit only to take aeons (in comparison) to kill the rest of the group. once out of stealth finesse has a pitiful +60% damage in its tree.

I have around 400 armor at the moment, and most of the stuff I make gives me sick damage bonuses, aside from normal damage from weapons, i gain a total of +70% damage bonus from a few materials, twists of fate and lorestones.
Mastercrafted shit is awesome.

(click to show/hide)my latest (and probably last) creation in the weapon department unless i find some flawless +% damage components. don't ask me why the weapon is blue and not violet - i have no idea.
no special armor on my gear though - that's just the default might armor. the only stats that get on my equipment are +% damage, +% damage resistance, +% health (1200 atm@lvl30) and +health regen (and the obligatory +2 might) - at least as far as i can influence it.

I can't explain it very well, but I made a small example of my fighting style against some kobolds. No sneaking.

That seems much more organized and intelligible than my "stack a lot of armor with prot shield and go crazy" style.

that's roughly how my build plays out against small groups. only with less poking and more executing :P
with bigger groups i just activate Relentless Assault and maim through them.
click for video (pw: bbt)
i couldn't find any high-level enemies in any of the areas i currently have easy access to (dunno why :(), so i removed most of my gear (everything aside from breastplate, pants and the sword) in the hope of not one-hitting everything.

Why not go commando ?
Just your weapon, or peasant/miner clothes. See how far you can get.
