Returning warrior advice

[Bonegrin]

I have been gone for quite some time, back when 14 was the cap and the WF Titan was the tops. Anyway, going to throw my build here and see whats what. I have read some of the forums and have an idea of whats being done now so will explain what I like.

I have a pure dwarven warrior lvl 14. He specialized in TWF and 2 Handers and started with high Str, high Dx build and all the armor mastery's to get the dex bonus. I kinda like that idea still and wonder if that kind of build is still viable? Or what I should change? I know there are some new feats/skills etc out there also. Anyway here is what I am currently at level 14

Str: 31 (21 Base, +1 Inh Bonus, +3 Feat, +6 Enchant)
Dex: 24 (17 Base, +1 Inh Bonus, +6 Enchant)
Con: 13 (11 Base, +1 Inh Bonus, +1 Feat)
Int: 8
Wis: 16 (10 Base, +1 Inh Bonus, +5 Ench)
Char: 6

Feats: Dodge, Gr 2HF, Gr 2WF, Gr Weap Foc Slash, Gr Weap Spec Sl, Imp Crit Sl, Imp 2HF, Imp 2WF, 2HF, 2WF, 2W Def, Weap Foc: Sl, Weapon Spec: Slash

Enhancments: Dwarven Arm Mast 1-3, Dwf Axe Att 1-2, Dwf Axe Dam 1-2, Dwf Con 1, Dwf Spell Def 1-3, Ftr Arm Mast 1-3, Stat: Str 1-3

As you can see I took all the armor masteries to get the -7 to AC in Adam Full Plate (at the time it was nice). And I have bunches and bunches of dwarven war axes and 2 handed Axes of all kinds that were really good at the time. Anyway, any advice on how I should proceed? Or should I just start from scratch? Is having a 2 hander and a 2 weapon fighter in one warrior not feasible now?

Thanks for any advice.

Lets see if this works better. I wanted to see if I couldn't get 2 hander and 2 weapon feats in there since we have more than enough. Any thoughts?

Also the original stats are the way they are because thats what I am at 15 and don't want to go back and redo the whole thing so stats stay.

I got all of the slashing enhancers and I have a 6 charisma.

Why? Under what circumstances would you use it or find it valuable? I get the idea that it sounds cool but in play when will it help. You pass on feats that would help round your character out for ones that will likely get little to no use.

You don't have Toughness so your HP will be low.
You don't have Power Attack so you lose damage.

More importantly you lose all the bonus Kensei and Racial DA damage when switching to a Two Hander.

AC is also a hard road now...requiring a lot of farming of raid gear.

Quick Draw is less than useless.

I strongly suggest going one way or the other but with Lesser Reincarnation you can find out for yourself.

This is what I was looking for. I had extra feats so used them on 2 handers (of which I have a ton of two handed axes). So 2 handers simply don't do the damage of TWF now? If so I can go pure TWF. I actually had it made to where I selected just the twf stuff and had selected toughness for all the "off" feats. Of which there are a ton. Should I even go for AC? Stuff like Dodge and TWF defense? If not I can just pile on the toughness I guess. Which is more important now? trying for HP or going for AC? The whole purpose of this guy orginally was going for the Armor Mastery stuff (all 6) to get the -7 to AC with adamantine full plate.

You definitely need a certain level of HP, some people end up taking toughness multiple times, lol. (Not that I recommend it +/-). For AC, you need to build for it, gear and feats to be really useful beyond mid levels. You can max AC or DPS, but not both. As for damage TWF/THF, take a look at the following before you make a decision (and prolly wait till whatever they stick with hits live and gets taken around the block. Don't get your hopes up about them changing things w/r/t the effect on lag, the change is about nerfing, since TWF is OP end game, esp w/GS. The lag thing is there to make it seem like a necessary evil. Which perhaps it is, just not a lag-related one;)
