I was wondering why those things (target dummies) were around and interactable. I settled on Lohar's at the time but it soon became obsolete. I don't remember where Beast was at the time exactly but the formula I used was: primary = strength, vitality; secondary = none; tertiary = intelligence, memory where for every four additions to primary, one tertiary is added. He likely had warfare and two-handed = 5 at the time (a guess). Tis a good game that makes decisions on armor and weapons subjective so "best" really can't be determined easily.
