Hi, I think it's not too different from a normal warrior.
You have a useful dex advantage though. I don't know if you can generalise that, but from my own epxeriences (with stormshield) I can tell that if you invest enough points in dexterity and attract only one monster at once (carry a bow with you for that purpose), melee monsters are quite enjoyable, because you block everything thanks to high dex.
But I cannot assess the benefit of a vanilla shield without fast block, with less AC and limited durability.
Apart from that, there is nothing like bowing down bitches and mages, they'll cost you precious resources if you try it with melee.
By the way, you should install the latest patch, which is 1.09.
