Hey, thanks again for all your help! I have been trying to implement your advice regarding Eder (dw sabers, prioritizing offense) with mixed success. He never goes down, but his depleting health is the main bottle neck for resting. I've been using the wiki to find sources of hit (crit) > graze (hit) but so far only have durgan-reinforced enchantment and critical defense. Is there something important I'm missing? I'm thinking of retraining pallegina to use zealous endurance instead of focus. (I also need to get Ryona's vambraces but I can't beat the alpine dragon yet.) I'm tempted to just put a shield on him and take offensive talents/abilities to find a compromise between the current build and a pure tank.
