Anyone else have trouble using these? I focuses my warrior around it and I have trouble with it. Other 2H warriors always seem to be able to strike at a farther distance. Any ideas? And do you guys block with your weapon?

I'm playing with a giant 2H glass warhammer. I've got pretty good range, though, I think aiming is ungainly. Blocking? Hah. I have invested greatly in enchanting/smithing and I'm currently wearing armor upgraded to "legendary" status. I have no need for blocking!

I have steel armor at level 18. Should upgrading be a priority?
