I use it against bosses at this point. No need to for other stuff.
Anyway, I think I’m going to wind up going with Shard of Beronath if I can get the recipe.
I took it seriously 
- I just wanted to explore all the potential possibilities with savagery/blade arc/swarm/vines.
So far the consensus seems to be go savagery or blade arc, and use swarm + vines to proc swoop/rend.
As for the soldier tree: the 20 threshold nets you war cry and field command, 25 gives you decorated soldier, 32 squad tactics and blindside, and 40 break morale and scars of battle. Stopping at 20 will certainly net alot of points to spend on maximizing key abilities, not sure I want to give up squad tactics though. Right now I’m planning on stopping at 32. Thoughts ?
I’d like to thank you all for your valuable input, much appreciated!

For a 2h build, without the need for overguard and shield training, that should be doable.
I wonder if a conjurer build would be feasible ? http://grimcalc.com/build/yAg9Ip
CoF for even more -bleed resist and BoD+AotG for heals/resists.
Don’t see why not. I’d dip into solael’s for the attack speed.
