I need to know what if for my sword warrior i should use a shield or a two handed sword. Which is better? I also wanted to know if identify skill is worth getting or if i should just take the stuff to the store and not waste points in it. Also what other skills are usefull for a sword warrior? I have only gotten repair and enchant weapon so far.

Swords seem to be the best weapons in the game. Unfortunate really because I like axes. For a Warrior, keep the sword.

As for the shield, that's personal preference. I prefer the shield over a two-handed sword. Decide now if you want to use Shield Expertise and let that be your guide.

Identify is another personal preference. For me, it is essential. Many others don't worry about it and just pay for Identifying. Why waste skill points when hard coin can suffice? 'Cos I like it and find it convinient.

You'll end up with a lot of skill points. When I reach level 25 (five levels away), I have no more plans on what skills to buy, and there's about another 25 levels to go after that. Play around. You're bound to stuff something up on your first game. It's part of the fun!

Enjoy!

Stun is nice, but having two of the following (Frost on a weapon, Stun on a weapon or the passive Stun skill) can sometimes cause a problem where enemies hang in mid death animation, and do not drop any loot.

Raze:
Indeed, when I killed some stunned and frozen monster, sometimes I got the loot, sometimes I saw "0 experiance" written in green, once the monster died but it stayed a red dot on the map.

With the Frost/Stun combo, they do die and give aloot always, it just takes up to 30 seconds sometimes.

Depends on many factors, I presume. I had many random surprises with Freeze/Stun combo.
