Good to haves for a soloing DE Shadow Knight?

[Roguejm11]

Use the skullsplitter and shield until 20.
Once you hit 20 the damage cap goes away, and I would start using the Nathsar Greatsword.

While you are leveling though, swap to the 2hs to keep the skill up so you can actually use it once you hit 20.

As a DE SK myself, I understand the struggle.

But as I did in 1999, I decided to play a race that I wanted to, not what people told me to play. Did not regret it then, do not regret it now. Granted I am pretty well geared, I do not struggle for str/agi/dex/ac. STA really the only low point, but a lot of gear coming in Velius for SKs fixes that for us.
