Ok, so Str-based.. but why 4 ranger? I can see two... but four?

[Blind_Skwerl]

If you are building a strength based two weapon fighter, you have several options. Pure fighter, pure barbarian, rogue, ranger, hybrids. I chose to go with a 12 ranger/2 fighter. You can max strength and still get all the TWF feats free from ranger levels. Get the feats, strength and crit bonus from fighter 2, wand healing, self buffs or heals, and useable ranged skills.

I you had seen of a friend therefore had I say ranger 4

I find that very old it and, I am not obtaining to catch Orien Balance I and Deneith Intimidation I

If your going to be a TWF FIGHTER, stay pure fighter and either go dwarf or elf.

If your going to be a TWF RANGER, just remember that you dont need a dex higher then your strength

[Borror0]

If your going to be a TWF FIGHTER, stay pure fighter and either go dwarf or elf.

No, go 12f/2r. You get a free feat (TWF) and favored enemy.

[nbhs275]

No, go 12f/2r. You get a free feat (TWF) and favored enemy.

but you miss out on fighter 14 enhancements and actually gain no feats because you give up one of your fighters feats.

[Borror0]

Yeah, you gain no feat but you get a few other benefits. Cure wands being one of them. Fighter enhancements past level 12 are... not great.

[Orrick_The_Undying]

Here's my non ranger take on the TWF build.. ( the major bonus is a fully functional UMD score as well )

Most people will slam this build b/c of the number of tomes or raid gear used, but I don't mind... I have access to the gear so I'm going to use it. The other bone of contention for alot of people is the low AC.. 3 words for you... MADSTONE BOOTS.. HELLO ! ( you'll love the +4 str +4 con and if you do it right you can TRIPLE rage.. ( drink potion, click racial rage, go get hit to activate madstone boots hidden effect ).

Anyway.. here's Angron.

If you decide to build a Worldeater, enjoy the lamentations of the widows and the orphans.. Ahhh such sweet music

Good luck with whatever you build,

[lianonddo]

very good more I will not have money for tomes

[Blind_Skwerl]

No, go 12f/2r. You get a free feat (TWF) and favored enemy.

If you go this route, you'd have to have a higher dex to be able to take the later TWF feats. Taking 12 ranger levels gives you those feats without the dex requirement, as well as being able to cast resists and barkskin, etc., favored enemies, and even some emergency healing proficiency.

I know, I was arguing if he went for mainly fighter. Rangers are, IMO, the best TWFers. However, he seems like going mainly fighter soo..

[foxrav]

look me up in the sarlona server i think das how its spelled ... well my main toons name is theshredder so yeah look me up laterz.

[Club'in]

Using the character planner, I built a dwarf 12f/2r for two weapon fighting. Only had to eat one tome, a dex (32 point build).

By fourth level, this guy had Combat Expertise, Improved Trip, Cleave, Power Attack, and Great Cleave. I then took the two ranger levels (5 and 6), to get the TWF, Bow Strength, Rapid Shot, and Undead favored (as well as wand whipping). I had the ITWF and GTWF by 12th level. Toughness at level 9. Combat enhancements for the trip feat, toughness enhancements, fighter and dwarf armor enhancements. The build seemed like a real monster.

Now, my question, since I've never played a pure fighter: how well does Great Cleave work? Is it even better if you are dual wielding? Do you strike all enemies in close proximity with both weapons? Has anyone tried it?

[lianonddo]

then we go there after many ideias I made something sees the progression of feats, abilities and skills.

Not to be a stickler Skwerl but you get GTWF , 30 point resists, the ability to use cure serious wands, cure mod heal spell, and +4 AC Barskin by taking 11 levels of ranger. You'll also have 3 favored enemies.

I play a Dwarven 11 Ranger / 1 Rogue / 2 Barbarian, I love it... he's a UMD monkey and a fully functional rog too ( minus Cabal elite trap of course ) there's little to nothing he can't do.

[Orrick_The_Undying]

lianonddo,

You're build seems pretty solid for a support/DPS fighter. I'd have a few concerns if you were looking to make him a frontline /Maintank build. A con score of 12 hurts..granted a +6 item will crank it up to an 18, but it still seems a bit low, especially if you're dumping skill points into intimidate to draw aggro to you. 212 HP's seem a bit soft for a tank class. I guess I'm used to rolling dwarves ( gotta love dwarven con 1-4 ). I figure with an 18 con, draconic vitality, toughness, Fighter toughness 1-3 and a greater false life item you might cap out around 280 HP's maybe even 300. GH content has proven to us that Displacement+Blur+ hefty HP total far outweigh AC. .Something to consider

On that note, why dump points into imtimidate? Do you plan on " pealing " aggro off of the casters and healers?

If you're dead set on human more power to you, if not consider a dwarf.. I see you working the feat tree to get to Whirlwind Attack.. GL with that. I'm curious to see how it works in game, but too lazy to roll a toon specced to it.

As for you khopesh usage.. nice choice.. I'd recommend searching out +3 or better elemental bursters with a Pure Good or Maiming suffix to maximize your DPS.

In short.. my suggestions would be to find a way to increase you con/HP totals, search out tasty khopeshes, consider dropping intimidate and allocating skill points elsewhere. Most importantly, have fun and play what you like.
