This sounds interesting.  I have on basher who is currently 7-2-3, who was
designed 17-10-13-17-9-7-11.  He started with a +20% bonus on Attack, which
is slightly better than the +15% that most bashers seem to get.  Your design
would get 1 more skill from strength, and one more from DF, while giving up
one from WT, thereby getting a +25% attack bonus (all other things being
equal).

If you really want to maximize Attack, why not leave WL at 9 (low WL bashers
are still useful) and use the extra points like so: 21-9-9-15-9-6-15 (the
extra point on SP makes this basher normally coordinated).  Then you would get
the attack skill lost on WT back on DF, as well as the likelihood of even
more kills, from hitting your attack location (the HE, hopefully) even more
often.

Possibly, but the DF seems a little low for that.  For a really interesting
design, how about:

17-9-9-15-13-6-15 TP?  He'd have a good parry base, his longer fights would
help his skill learns, he'd be normally coordinated, and should have greater
endurance than you would expect, since he'll have an excellent carry rating,
which tends to lower the encumbrance cost.

I've keep meaning to try out a few high ST TP's, but everytime I get a decent
ST/WL warrior, he becomes a basher.  A personal failing of mine. :)
