High Defense?  Do you mean High Kill Desire?  I'm so confused!

Not bad for a first timer.  Try it and see what happens.
Unfortunately, in my 700-800 fights with PR's, I've only found two who
seemed to like turning on the offense.  I find one of the better
strategies is to start slow, say 2-4-2 maybe even parry tactic, for a
minute or two, then open up into a 4-4-4.  A recent PR really likes 3-2-6
against Total Parries, but not much else.

You are right about the armour weapons, but I'd advise putting on
some kind of head gear.  My upper limit would be ARM/F, although I've been
known to go up to ACM in tournaments against offensives with mondo attack
ratings.

Epee is an excellent choice in weapon, feel free to try SC and LO
as well. SS and SH are other possibilities, but save them for later.
Usually I use an off-hand something with a PR.  Sometime a shield, more
oftern than not a HA,DA, or SH.  But if you are going with a higher
offensive effort than a single weapon is probably the best choice.

As a side note, one of my favourite PR strategies is sending out
my guy with EP/BA.  Now if there's somehting that looks unorthodox, that
would be it, but if you've got the Size/Strenght for the BA, by all means.
 Unfortunatly, this guy doesn't.

Keep training skills for the first bit at least, and re-evaluate
after about 5 fights.
