Hey guys. I have been playing CF for a few months now, but as of yet have not managed to level a char above lvl 19. I have read some different logs on the battlefield boards, and have decided that I want to create a defensive warrior. From what I've seen however, the weapon that you use doesn't really affect your parry/dodge. Is there a weapontype that is more defensively oriented? I know that polearms have defensive spins etc, but does that mean that you can deflect blows with them once in a while...??? or does it mean that the polearm class of weapons is exceptional at blocking blows.
I would appreciate any sort of answer, and if possible any tips on building a defensive char.
Thanks a lot
