another issue is that there's no decent 2h blunts for pvp atm, but that will change in 2.0. not only in terms of gear, but also because armor crush can be used with 2h swords, so if you add excruciating strike to that, it's already -50% p.def, wich is a lot. plus stun effect. it's also the only class in game that can get P. Def. + 140% and Debuff Resistance + 70%, so if you add lionheart to that, it pretty much becomes a walking wall. beside, while his skills don't crit, they all have ignore shield defence effect, so the damage can't be mitigated either.
