I'd milk the short sword a bit longer, buy the broad axe, and start training to use axes. If the axe is good enough you might just start using it sooner than later. You can swap to the hunting sling with a shield at low or no skill for a few various situations. It may be more useful if you put a few points into throwing. I wouldn't worry too much about those however, training the axe and shield up is a higher priority. With this high AC setup, you also need to be pretty concerned with having good coverage of your resists since you won't evade much. Lajatang have good stats, but they are two-handed so they come with a sacrifice, but mostly the reason for the broad axe is that you'll find cleaving is more useful on the whole than a weapon only made for 1v1 fights. The entire game wants to surround you with enemies. Relying on kiting and corridors isn't a sound strategy overall.
