Fighting own shade with a shield wielding berserker

[Chattius]

I did a funny berserker who was using a shield and daggers. Ring of war master pushed the 0.9 mastery to a full 1.0 in shields. So shield wall was a real 5.0 for stun immunity. Also high dexterity helped for precise strikes critical hit and hit chances. Didn't need cunning.

I played the character really careful against mages while at melee it was a tank. It was the first time i reached the own shade, only to notice that i couldn't damage it. 2000 turns of fighting and none of us took sigfnificant damage. So i used rod of recall and decided to come back later. Sadly this idea failed because their was no shade anymore.

It was not the best approach to a berserker i know, health only at 3 (done with infusion and equipment), maximum strength and dexterity, willpower as third. But it was very very robust. But it lacked a stunning attack (did cornac for 4 category points only to notice that i never used field control, so perhaps a ghoul next time).

I want to fight my own shade and i liked the shield using berserker idea. But what could i do better in version 17?

Well it's your shade so it has the same vulnerabilities you do
Try weakening yourself before it pops (but that could be dangerous )
