Hello, I am currently struggling with making a character that can hit hard and also get hit back. I also would like to be using a greatsword and heavy armor. Trying to balance the accuracy vs deflection axis and the armor vs action speed axis is giving me headaches. This is what I've come up with so far, but I could use any and all suggestions on how best to accomplish this.
