you can parry good with bushidio+parry and a 1 handed weapon.
IF you wear a shield tho, you will block nothing....
keep a hand free, and try to work in enhance pot 75% or better...might as well chug since you have a hand free as it is.

Swords > fencing on this temp for pvp reasons....if you don't pvp it won't matter much.
120 weapon skill is a must have.
20 focus, and 20 medi is a waste of skill.
go human form, and you have 20 focus and medi...just make sure you're armour is all "meddable" or you lose the +2 mr from medi. (this is the case now also with you having 20 real medi...if you wear non-med armour this is being nullified.)
For strictly pvm, no reason really to go ninjitsu, you are better off keeping the tactics...utilize honor, and use lightning strike alot along w/ enemy of one, consecrate, etc...you will do very good damage vs mobs.

For pvp Id switch out the tactics for ninjitsu 120...
