Self Healing TWF

If the assertion is: "If my AC is less than 45, then worrying about AC is a waste of time for end-game content."
Then I agree, though personally I'd set the number higher, say at _least_ 52 if you want mobs to miss you based on AC.

If the assertion is: "With quickened heals, who cares if my AC is only 45."
Then I also agree, as you seem to understand the costs involved, and have made a playstyle decision on how to spend your SP.

If you're running end-game content and sacrificing dps or hitpoints in your items/feats/enhancements in order to boost your AC as high as it will go, and you're reaching a number in the 40's, I'd suggest switching things around to max your damage output (or stat damage, vorpal crit-confirming, or whatever you do best) and look at other ways to mitigate incoming damage. To paraphrase what _I think_ Hydra_Ex was saying: "If AC is under <insert your minimum benchmark>, then it simply doesn't matter, as the mobs' to-hit rolls will let them hit you even when they roll a 2."

Basically yes. My AC is only 21, so it doesn't really matter much. Alot of builds can't manage to obatin an outstanding AC, especailly non dex based TWFers. Recently a paladin posted a thread with his 40 AC, which he agreed did not matter much, asking if he should rebuild. As long as he could hold his own weight, he would be fine. This build can DEFINITLY hold its own weight.

I have a capped cleric with both Maximize and Empower (and she had Empower Healing until the metamagic revamp last year). I know what spells affect Heal and what ones don't.

Sorry to question your knowledge but no, you do not. Neither Maximize nor Empower affect the Heal spell. They both affect the cure spells but not the Heal spell. Empower healing affects both Heal and cure spells.

Did you bother reading the whole thread?

Just to post clarification on the above tpics, what I meant to say was that healing spells are affected my max/emp (ie cure spells). The Heal spell itself is not. Either way it does not matter as my number one spell I use is heal, with divine power, prayer, and rececitation.
