Feats
Insightful Reflexes

If Insightful Ref's, not sure what the point is of boosting Dex. Sim w/ Wisdom - it's a dumpstat here. Boost Cha for LoH (see below).

Also, not sure about the leveling order. Why beeline to Arti 3? I'm sure you could squeeze a few more skill points if you staggered Pali in there. Otoh, beelining to Pali 3 gets you some nice defensive stuff there. (Tradeoff between a bit more defense early vs. a slightly better overall character later.)

No Concentration means self-healing will be largely restricted to LoH (and that wants Cha). And no Heal means that won't be the best, either way.

Also, no Spot means you, personally, have all the trap and box locations memorized in every quest you're going to run - right?

Lastly, the lack of any Tier 5 enhancements would worry me. No crit boost anywhere (until late Pali levels)? DPS will be lackluster.

I've done my fair share of TYWA builds (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/488363-The-Kundarak-Brigade-(TYWA-Builds)), and I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish here.

Why'd you bump up DEX & STR when you didn't even take Power Attack and/or Precision? Same question about WIS.
Why so many arty lvls? You only need two for Runearms and trap skills, if that's your initial goal. Is it just for the spells?
Your AP config seems suboptimal: e.g., no tier-5s, heavy into Sacred D., Battle Engineer is pretty blah apart from tier-5 and capstone, IMO, and you didn't even take Agility Engine (+10% Doublestrike), which would be a no-brainer to make up for not having Zeal.


The first thing I realized about TYWA builds is if you don't have a ton of extra racial APs, it's best to come up with a configuration which is not too dependent on more than one tree. E.g., 18 dwarf / 41 KotC / 13 Sacred D / 8 Harper on my paladin fits in everything I consider a must-have; whereas my barb requires more compromises, IMO, because I can't afford more APs into Berserker.

I believe it's for the Hammer damage enhancements. Which may or may not be worth it. (Late here, not putting any more thought into it than that observation.)
