if u mean going agaisnt a glad.. well, one think for sure Glads Hurt!! make it with a +10/11 axe and the damage skyrockets to heaven! but thena gain thats why they are glads
For a knight def is sacred and the hp holy, it will be a must to have +9/10 gears and 1h+11 with a shield+10 if posible
as scarry as glads are with their "IMMA 1 HIT U !" they are very str centred, making them rather squishy, if they are not able to kill u with in seconds then its to ur advantage
about the build, thats my very own oppinion, with 50 on end u will get the bosus to the block rate of ur shield, 25 to spr(optional for those non sc users) provides u with a extra 5% to crit that may very well save ur life in on last minute kill-shot and that leaves the rest on str for the damage input u will need to take down the giant
even with the 50 on end, end gears will be wise, again, glads hurt x.x so u will need as much hp as u can get, dex would help also for axe has low aim, but anyways one eva scroll might sufice
for skills, this is only one option tho, the skill empowerment is strictly personal acording the skils that u use most, but well, this is a suggestion:
Slice and Dice
5 points into Damage
5 points into Cool Down
Devastate
5 points into Damage Increase
5 points into Cool Down
5 points into Duration
Vitality
5 points into Cool Down [Optional]
5 points into Duration [Optional]
Accurate Strike
5 points into Damage
hope it helps
