As already mentioned I have 3 playthroughs behind (only 1 completed) and am in the middle of the 4th.
Just from observation - I used Madora in 3 of them and in each new attempt I found myself sliding towards 1H/Shield more and earlier. Now I play 2 wariors, one melee heavy (Cain), the other one a hybrid 1H/Shield/Battlemage.
Given the importance to lower opponent resistances and willpower/body building late game I do not remotely try to maximize damage. I DO maximize crowd control and survivability up to the point that even specialized warriors end up with level 1 or 2 in witchcraft and some of the highly effective spells associated to it (like "Blind").
While my tactical battle skill has not improved, may tactical possibilities due to these developments have. Just as an indication - the whole group of immaculates guarding the path to the trial in Luculla forest got exactly 1 (magical or physical) hit on 1 of my characters. 2 more shield blocked. After the opponents were dead.
Luck is an unnecessary trait for the fight difficulty of DOS ...
Regards,
Thorsten
