Thanks for these links, they are extremely helpful! I'm probably gonna have to ditch the greatsword and go with pike. Could be worse. The Tall Grass pike sounds expensive - something to save up for. My Con is reasonably high, which will help. I've seen some mixed advice about deflection: it probably will stop helping in the end game. Overall though, it seems the idea is possible - so thanks all for the tips.

My char build is here: And the part where I almost lose the first 1 on 1 fight I ever try, is here: (13:08) Thanks!
