hmm. I'll offer some insight on a WoE build for servers close to officials.
Thorny shield is fine, but over upped cranial valk shield is much better for an LK, especially when breaking a precast. +10 pole axe? You should have gotten a hunting spear. You'll also be needing a status pike for brandishing as well as +9 superiors, boots or tidals.
As far as your build goes, including buffs, go for something like:
130 Str
50ish Agi
70-80 Vit
80-90 Dex
Everything else in int.
130 Str maximizes spiral damage. 70-80 Vit makes sure you're not one shotted by AD. 90 Vit is a big no no. 70-80 Dex with bragi will let you spam spiral faster than people can out pot. Hit locking is very satisfying. When breaking an emp, make sure you have serks, and if you need food, hotkeyed because you WILL be dispelled if not agi dec. For parties during woe, try to get in a party with a prof and clown at the very least.
