Was thinking about +3EVA on the armor, +3ACC on the Trinket and +3KEEN on the weapon, maybe swapping out damage for some bits.

And doesn't MIT only give you +3 per slot? Thought that'd make it a little weaker than EVA.

Oh yea; doesn't having a shield just... make you better than two-handed people through enhancements? I mean... is there any advantage not having one? It's extra stats you can gain by equipping an extra item, so you have four instead of three, and one-handed weapons aren't too far behind the two-handed in terms of sword skills and energy usage. Or am I missing something obvious?

You can load your character with 3 pieces of equipment, not four. Most of the time shield give the extra mitigation boost, but thats only if you plan on becoming a tank class character or maybe even a healer/support. 

Oh, ok. So they can't have a trinket. Makes sense; thanks!
