I need advice for a version of this build that hopefully someone can help me with. I currently have a level 35 version that I'm unhappy with.
Skills
Level 8: I'm unclear about which skill I should choose; Hafted Weapons or Pole Arms? The wiki says that Hafted weapons have the highest base damage but so far in my campaign I find that pole arms are generally stronger(I have found a few Torik's Wrath's that seem to better than any two-handed hafted weapon I have.) Am I just unlucky and hafted weapons are better or are pole arms really are good as I think they are?
Level 12: Speed Lore or Tactics Lore? Tactics Lore seems like the obvious choice but I'm wondering why one would choose Speed Lore that I'm not aware of?
Level 18: Death Warrior Focus or Malevolent Champion Focus? I'm a bit dubious about the effectiveness of Augmenting Guidon(Elite - Healing - Fear) and Reflective Emanation(Tough - Antimagic - Idol). There isn't a noticeable difference in combat so I'm thinking Death Warrior aspect might be better. But maybe someone can convince me to keep MC
Combat Art
Nether Allegiance: In my current build I have Sharp Blades, Spectral Shield and Elite Equipment but I'm thinking about replacing Sharp Blades with Accomplice. With only two soldiers they seemed to be overwhelmed a lot(even when out of Shadow Veil) so I'm hoping three might help with that.
Hopefully I didn't forget something after typing this for the third time. Any help and/or general tips would be appreciated
