I see. So leveling will be annoying at worst and endgame it will become easier?

Im guessing Fitness is a given, and im decided on Teleportation as transport. Any tips on beneficial pools beside these since this will be a rather offensive build with SM/SD? I was thinking on the lines of taking Leadership for offense/buffing or Fighting for more defense.

Ive recently gotten back to the game after a years absence and was thinking of making a brute.

For concept reasons i was thinking of an Stone Melee/Shield Defense brute, however im not sure how it will manage with the endurance late game.
Would it be feasiable or will i have to scrap it at lvl 40+ as i run out of end all the time?

Also how well do Axe or Mace primaries do late game with shields?
