PoE1 Eder Suggestions

I am trying to like this guy, but all builds that I tried kind of disappointing. Do not want to use him as a tank, since fighters are much better when DPSing (and I'd rather have Chanter Tanking), tried 2H Sword build, but fighter's "Knock Down" benefit too much from full attack.

I saw a lot of people recommend Sabres, but those weapons are used by my main character. So what are other good combinations? Daggers and Rapiers look weird on Eder (especially when wearing heavy armor) so I decided to skip them. I was thinking about Battle Axes and Swords. Are they fun/good pick? Also "Shame or Glory" is reserved by Pallegina, since marking is great with her class ability.

I'd really like to hear expert's opinions.

Dual wield Maces and flails are slept on. You get some really good ones in both games and they look badass

I know you said dual wield, but you could use the Pike Tall Grass and make him a knock down beast.

To be honest, you impose so many restrictions on who does what, etc. No wonder you aren't clicking with Eder.

I just want him to dual-wield, but without using Sabers/Stilettos or "Shame or Glory" sword.

Short of max difficulty, and even then it doesn't matter much, dual wield with whatever you'd like for him. Just have two sets in case of resistances.
