Check out this Human build

[avatar28]

was just messing with barb builds, I love WF builds the most, but even with a 32 point build, i'm not impressed with the crappy INT, WIS, and CHA scores that I end up with after dumping must ability points into STR and CON.

I tried rolling a Drow Barb, but his poor con was disgusting.

This build that I have included here is a TWF build.

I am debating whether or not to make him THF instead, because I know the half STR mod dmg added when using a 2-hander is pretty sick when you already have +20 damage and are using PA, but 2 weapon fighters get way more attacks and thus more chances to hit and cause damage. So the debate is to take 5 small swings or 2 huge ones? I know the hype is all about the DPS using 2 weapons, but I would like to open the floor to debate on whether or not a THF can dish out the DPS like a TWF, taking advantage of the extra damage that can be dealt using a 2 handed weapon.

THF does good as well. The main advantage of TWF, in my opinion, is not in extra DPS, but in extra versatility due to being able to combine different kinds of weapons.

eh, whats with the intel?

Max str, 2 fighter levels. Piercing, TWF chain, stunning blow. Worth it to max str.
