Dwarf TWF?

[Mordantos]

Looking to TR my human "Noyellowbar" ranger into a dwarf. I realize dwarves are flavor builds, but I want to squeeze as much synergy as I can- I already have too many humans in my stable and want to play a shorty.

-I have a pair of Mornhs and TFs waiting for me in epics was so thinking dual hammer (maybe feat swap in epic?)
-Would love to go TYWA but APs seem really tight
-3rd life (FTR,PAL,RNG) with +6 tomes, have Harper
-Plan to stay in Epics for a while


Any suggestions? My first inclination was pure 20 ranger, but saw some suggestions for Pal15/Rng5 for surviability. Was even considering an ES Warlock...

I have an alt with basically the same case. The alt was my first twf and I want to continue down that road, have celestia and morhn and a few more weapons from CITW and FOT for epic, dual deathnip for heroic, and I was going back and forth between those 2 options and a pure twf barbarian which is the way I think I will go cause I love barbarians. I was thinking con based but with 41 occult and 39 ravager for tier5. Normal convention will tell you that TYWA is the way to go but although I want to be survivable (occult capstone) I need some dps so I need to put the rest in Ravager. I can assume that pure ravager and TYWA would work well but If i go all dps, i would not go con based but STR (but I may be mistaken), also going pure CON without OS caps seems a waste. IMO. Currently pure pally 3rd lifer, the 15 pally 5 ranger is almost a no brainer as 'ez' button, I am curious with the new ranger pass if pure ranger could be a decent option.

If you really want a TYWA build, my recommendation is pure barb; the OS or Ravager capstones have the best synergies with CON-based builds, IMO. See my Kundarak Krasher thread for one example of a CON+INT-based build using Harper to boost its Dire Charge DCs. Plus the majesty that is being a dwarf, ofc. :cool:

Otherwise, if you stick with STR-based, any of the usual alternative work: pure rgr, pure pally, rgr 5 / pal 15, etc.
