A few SK noob leveling questions

[Tsak]

Hey,

Back playing for first time since RoK. I think I got an iskar warrior to lvl 32 back in the day. I really didn't like a couple things about the class: downtime was too long; finding corpse was a pain. I mostly just solo. I am playing SK thinking these things will be a bit less bad with an SK? I guess maybe downtime won't be a big difference, but wonder what your thoughts are on this.

Also, I'm upto level 5 at this point with my DE SK. I have crafted a full set of patchwork armor. Will tailoring be helpful upto for making bandages? I have started on my studded armor set. My plan is to use blacksmithing making studs and steel bonings until I have enough loot and blacksmithing skill to make banded armor and forged weapons. Is crafting like this going to save money, or will drop items be far superior for me/crafting will be too expensive and time consuming with my plan?

I know that 1hd vs 2hd is a well worn topic on this forum for DE SKs. My understanding is that 2hd is superior for damage, so I might need to keep a couple sets of weapons to use bash. I should concentrate on 2hd correct?

Thanks in advance. Nice to be playing some evercrack again. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
