With the introduction of imbuing you can put 15 x 3 skills per jewel. Now, if you got the means to do this, that adds another 90 in skill. Plus you can make better armor too.

For your whammy:
Weapon Skill 120 90
Tactics 90 60
Parrying 120 120
Bushido 120 120
Necro 40 10
Spirit speak 100 100
Chiv 90 90
Total skill 590, that is with jewels that together add +30 swords +30 tactics +30 necro. Obviously you can add + skill to whatever you want, this is just an example.
Now you have leftover skill of 120 adding in another legendary skill or capping off some others. Add anatomy for more dmg, resist spells for that damn blood oath!! Or you can lower some skills and add in two more things at a medium level, like taming and lore and bring raptors or bake kitsunes with you to kill!
That is the template I am currently working on, 86 taming/lore enough to have two bake-kitsunes to go on my hunts with me. at 87 Taming and Lore you will 99% control both raptors and bakes. And bakes put out some dmg. Of coarse whammy would still be the tank here, but bakes are nice cause of magery and the ability to heal themselfs.
A way to figure out discord and music would rock.
