Hi,
I've mainly been following Tihocan's Mighty Protector build here (18Pal/1Fi/1Ro):
http://forums.ddo.com/showpost.php?p=3012043&postcount=228
I'm at level 15 now.
Here are his feats suggestions:
Feats (by level), Human: Toughness (1), Dodge (1), Combat Expertise (3), Extend Spell (6), Improved Critical: Slash (8), Power Attack (9), Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Khopesh (12), Skill Focus: Intimidate (15), Two-Handed Fighting (18)

However, instead of Dodge, I took THF; instead of Khopesh, I took ITWF; insead of Skill focus:Intimidate, I took GTWF.
I also find that I never turn on Extend spell - I find it kind of useless. So, I can swap a feat (at lvl 6 - maybe Shield Mastery for the 20% physical damage decrease with tower shield? Cleave? Mental Toughness?), and I will have 1 more for the final feat. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Well, a few have viewed, but none have replied to my post, probably because this build is so plain-jane boring.

Or maybe you're using Firefox and get the same error as me:

I'm a little confused as to what you want out of this toon.

-Do you plan on having meaningful AC (80+)?
-Do you plan on tanking epic raids?

Since you have spent a feat on Khopesh proficiency, I suggest dropping all THF feats and stick with dual khopeshes for DPS mode.

Yeah, you're right, I didn't tell you want I wanted to do with this toon because I really wasn't sure, either. I followed the build most of the way - I did NOT take khopesh - I took the full THF line). I did want decent AC all the way through leveling. The recent changes to DoS stance and shield threat generation seemed good for the build. Is it possible to still shield block/intimidate/tank with this build?

Pick up Bastard Sword or Dwarven Axe proficiency to synergize with your THF feats when using a shield.
When not tanking, use a Falchion.

Shield Mastery is a good feat, you could pick it if you wanted to.

Most AC comes from gear, so yeah, depends what your gear is whether or not you can successfully AC tank.
