I enjoyed the various discussions in the Fighter Forum regarding different Fighter builds but most of the time I lost track of the links and posts. So I decided to make a compilation of the more popular builds.
The list below is not listed in any particular order. If you think I am missing certain builds please let me know and I will edit the list.
Hopefully someday someone will make a fighter class guide so we can have all the links of the cool topics in one post.
Thanks,

The "Riott" Tank Build (http://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11599)
Date Posted: March 14, 2006
Race Suggested: Human
The Riott Tank is a Pure Fighter Build that provides a High Intimidate, High AC, and High Saves while maintaining the capability for a rather High Damage Output. Because it stays 10 Fighter it maintains the 10 BaB, and can feed off Paladins Auras and virtually any buff, which makes the top end of this build VERY HIGH in optimal conditions. And because it does not multiclass it is very Feat heavy.

Here is the build for the Krieg the Bold, the mighty 7 Fighter/3 Paladin multiclass tank build. It has been a pleasure leveling up this character as he is by far the most solid tank build I've seen. With the ability to get all saves over +20 and a standing AC over +50 as well as an Intimidate Score of +40 unbuffed, he can do what other tank builds can't -> outlast.

This Two Weapon Fighter is a very Niche build, built for DPS with Ultra High To Hit ability. It's a High DEX Fighter with good STR for damage Purposes. It's also unique in that it doesn't wear armor, and instead uses robes for their HOT SWAPPABLE capabilities. It's weak in the AC, but played well you can avoid many hits, and it's Saves are average.

This is a two-weapon fighting build. It is called the ‘Iron Blades Build’ because it will last to level 20 and has decent AC for a twf. The problem with most TWF builds is that they are soft and take as much damage as they deal out. This is more balanced, with higher AC potential.

I have had quite a few people ask me how I managed to make an effective two weapon fighter with the AC of a typical level 10 pally using a towershield.. without using a shield or any other buffs.

The goal of this build was to couple a fighter's to-hit and a barbarian's damage. The result is as high a to-hit as a boosted fighter but with the strength of a barbarian. In the end, the total possible strength surpasses a barbarians and is the most you can get in current game.

The Stategist is a crowd control fighter that supports with DPS and neutralization of an enemy through the use of Stunning Blow and Improved Trip. Further the strategist supports the rest of the group by lowering the Armor Class of the enemies they're fighting. Being non-styled can benefit from sword and shield as much as a two-handed weapon.

Having heard nothing but good things about the new fighter's strategy line, I decided to put together a build intended to be what I'd term "offensive support." In other words, the goal of the build is to minimize the enemy's ability to do damage by offensively disrupting their actions and reducing their attacks, saves, etc. Obviously, both the fighter and dwarven DC lines need to be coupled with feats like imp trip, stunning blow to really make the most of it.
