Newbie Here

Hi everyone, just joined this forum last night (although i've been visiting here for a while now). Anyway i have a few questions and some things i'd like to share, i just made my way to Brimloch Roon and am having a great time so far, the things i want to discuss involve my 2 fighters :
Lara : warrior lvl 12 -> Paladin lvl 13 -> Ranger lvl 6 -> Samurai lvl 12 (i think)
Slade : Rogue lvl 12 -> Ninja lvl 12 -> Assasin lvl 12
Now Slade uses the 2 weapon style of fighting at the moment (lvl 8 sword and second weapon skill) and i've been reading alot about the kung fu skill (and kicking etc) which sounds nice (i'm a big martial arts fan, hehe). now i want to compare the damage increase (or decrease) between 2 swords (using katana +1 blessed with +2 hit and +3 damage, and wakizashi - blessed the same) and fists (and feet).

This sounds very long winded sorry, but bare with me please
My usual setup for combat is to put all bonus magics on (heroic might, bless, haste, armoured realm, nimble and frensy) and Slade (assasin) cloaks in shadows, and with all this on, he easily does 60 damage with each weapon (i think my highest is about 72 with katana and about the same with wakizashi). anyhow, he kills stuff real good is what i'm trying to say. now i've heard that kung fu can hit for about 20-40 damage with each hit, is this achieved with added benefit spells and backstabing too? I'd be much appreciated if everyone would let me know what they think, i may try changing Lara to a monk next to fill out the rest of my spirit spells and get kung fu (which would allow her to keep her dragon shield, i think my shield skill is 6 too). Anyhow, waaaaay to much rambling for one post so i'll leave it at that!

Welcome to the forum!!!

Pushing this back to the top so maybe you will get some input.

Hope you did catch the posts about kung fu that were pushed back to the top earlier today.
