I have quite easy tactic for all of the enemy types: TWO-HANDED - Cut off at least one arm or leg. This always works, as they won't be able to attack. 2 WEAPONS - The only way to make them not attack you is to cut off his/her leg. POLEARM - Depends. If they can ONLY throw it at you, cut the arm with weapon. If they can shield bash you, cut off a leg. If they can both, then you have to decide what is more dangerous for you. WEAPON AND SHIELD: If it's not polearm, then cut off leg. This will screw them up and won't attack you, because with what? For Polearms already mentioned. Rate this up so everybody can see it!
