2H melee specialist Options

[rbeverjr]

Great players of IA who can rule the game on insane with ease, please let me know which melee person you consider best to wield 2H weapons (particularly halberds) and why. My thinking is kensai or barbarian. The kensai should be able to Greater Whirlwind and hit just about anything but his defense will suck without potions or Spirit Armor. The barbarian has much better defense (rage, resistance, good armor), but he may be using Critical Strike rather than Greater Whirlwind - not sure which would be optimal. But these are the thoughts of a lesser player. What do you think?

There are no immediate plans to remove UAI, it's just one of many concepts written in a very big todo list. I have no idea why Imoen is a sorcerer, this was done long time ago by Sikret. As for Jan, I did it as a short-term solution to bring another in-game NPC into the roster before any work is done on either multi-classes or thieves.
