N/W or N/Mes

Hey all I just made a N/W. But I don't know how or what skills to put into?

I really need alot of help on this, as in what wepon (axe or sword) what skills. And where to put my points? Thanks alot all!!!

funnily enough I started out as a N/W then went N/Me and now am back to N/W However I'm pretty much using a blood/curses (support caster) build so the 2ndary skills get used very little. I pretty much just use sprint and defensive stance from warrior right now and then only when I'm (trying) to solo. Might have to explore my options some more.

My current weapon is a 20/20(blood) cruel staff with a nice staff head (+4 energy) and wrapping (+20hp). If you're looking for a more melee oriented character though blood+<weapon of choice> would work ok with curses as well for some nice hexes to be able to do that little bit more hurt with each hit. My preference weapon wise is probably axe (simply because I have a couple of nice ones from when I was trying a warrior).

Thanks, from what ive read, I really should use a shield. And yes I want to be a melee fighter. I really want to tank if possible lol. I was really thinking of useing tactics and blood to stay alive, but what skills and how much to put into the atrubutes? Thanks for the advice on axes.
