- Get your hands on a ranged weapon, this enables you to safely dispatch monsters from range and also increases your versatility for PvP fights.

- Use your shield not only to block melee attacks, but also projectiles like arrows and spells.

- Be resourceful with your skills, some of them are single use only. However, they can be replenished with the use of campfires.

- Your in-combat sustain is very high due to Second Wind, however, it heals over a long period of time, so try to stay alive long enough by temporarily retreating if necessary.
