Which Strength perks would you choose?

[NewbieOne]

STR 8 (Leg Day…), main level 7. Just starting a career in the city watch. ;)

Mule I taken, 3 perks saved.

Out of:

Stronghold
Clinch Master
Headcracker
Heavy Swing
Tight Grip

… which ones would be best taken now, which held off till level 10 and which till 12?

I feel I need more help with the offence than the defence in terms of skill, but also my gear tends to get damaged faster than I can repair it.

You can get all but one once you max it out. Ignore the corpse carrying one.

I would say clinch master, tight grip and heavy swing, in that order. Headcracker is good but it is rng, the others work all the time.

You could ignore heavy swing for now and get mule 2 instead.

Clinch master, tight grip, mule 2, as said.
