Gentlemen, (and Ladies) welcome to the War Room. Within it's confines dwell the greatest warriors, tacticians, and skalds. It's purpose is to provide a place to discuss and share your favorite techniques, learn new ones, and share the tales of your valor. Keep in mind; this is not a place to compare weapon sizes, we have the mess hall for that.
"The best techniques are passed down by the survivors." -Gaiden Shinji
As much as I love the stylish moves of Two Weapon Fighting, one of my Favorite techniques is sword and shield. well ballanced defense and offense, and takes advantage of perks like elemental protection. Turning those pesky cryomancers into sniveling whelps.
The technique can also be varied to allow for casting while maintaining a physical offense, or defense. It screams "survival of the fittest' in it's modular, adaptable employ.
