Hey, all!
I'm currently working on my first play though, leveling Eder as a tank fighter, and I'm curious about a few abilities and talents. What are your thoughts about Rapid Recovery, Into the Fray, and Vigorous Defense? Is the bonus from Rapid Recovery worth a talent choice? Should I consider Vigorous Defense or Into the Fray; or would you suggest a more offensive ability for my level 5 fighter ability?
I just reached level 8, so my current build looks like this:
1st level - Knockdown
2nd - Weapon and Shield Style
3rd - Defender
4th - Wary Defender
5th - Vigorous Defense (With my current defenses, I rarely use this ability)
6th - Rapid Recovery
7th - Overbearing Guard
8th - Hold the Line
Also, are there any other fighter abilities that you would suggest for future levels? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the reply!
The more thought I give it, the more I agree with focusing on offensive talents and abilities. As of now, Eder just stands in a group of mobs and never loses any health. I did some respec-testing and realized that Rapid Recovery doesn't even boost my passive healing by a whole point, so that's definitely out of here. I chose Overbearing Guard because I currently have +4 engaged enemies with talents, abilities, and items; and the prone part of the ability is nice from stopping enemies from advancing too close to my ranged characters. I'm still 50/50 on it, though. Yeah, I think I'm definitely going to focus on more offensive abilities and talents.
I also just recently picked up Gyrd Haewanes Stenes (the dominate scepter) and bound it to Aloth. The dominate effect is insanely powerful.
Thanks again for the feedback! Have a good one, friend.
