THW Fighter builds

[Therron]

can someone link me some good dps 2 hand weapon builds
I am sick of all these twf builds i see everywhere

what I envisige is a warrior or pally type build that can go into a crowd of mobs and lay down the smack
with cleaves (are they worth it and using a 2 handed sword )
reason 2 handed swords are everywhere.
thinking paladin for the saves and occasional heal
high strength as I wont be using mithril plate as you can get normal adamante axeblock to absorb damage

ideas
using a 2 handed sword instead of an exotic weapon ( cheap to pick up even vorpals)
and saves a feat
Human for extra feat
Damage absorption and high con good saves and resist potions // buffs
heavy plate

was a pally type build which looks pretty good but i like the idea of a fighter and not a rage reliant barb

also checked here for a build but couldnt find one

What you need to do is gently pester Eladrin to give details on the benefits of the Kensai enhancement. That'll tell you what to build.

While I don't have any builds to link directly, I thought I'd mention a few things to lean you towards Paladin.

Divine Might III (+6 Sacred Damage buff uses turn undead and requires 18 base+tome CHA)
Divine Sacrifice II (7d6 Light Damage +1 to Crit Multi at the cost of 5 HP and 1 SP with 3 sec Cooldown)
Exalted Smite III (+1 Crit Threat Range, +2 Crit Multi when smiting, changes smite to 3 sec Cooldown)

And if Warforged,

Bladesworn Transformation (+4 profane bonus to Strength, +4 natural armor bonus to AC, +4 profane bonus on damage rolls, no spellcasting ability. +100% Fort, but cannot be healed by healing spells. 1 Minute Duration, 10 Minute Cooldown)

All the things you listed are biased towards TWF, because they all provide extra damage equally to both weapons.

For example, Divine Sacrifice II is 14d6 Light damage if you're TWFing it, but the cost in hp and sp is not doubled.

But its something that is in the game now and we already know what it does. While they are biased, they still benefit THF more then not having them does, and without playing as a barbarian, there is very little that is biased towards THF rather then TWF (and even more so for S+B). The only thing non-barbarian (currently in the game) that comes to mind that is biased for THF over TWF is Warforged Power Attack.

Definetly wait with this kind of build untill the next mod hits the game.

There shall be some love for THF in it. I would look where and what the additions for this style are and then decide how to build this character.

Most propably some Fighter / Paladin Hybrid. How many levels of each depending on the new enhancements.

Its a terrible think that we have to play twf and there are so many fine 2 handed swords rotting away because no one wants anything except rapiers and short swords
I really dont fancy a barbarian are we talking about the mod on risa or one 4 months away

Well, not quite.

Even if TWF is irrelevant, two-handed Greatswords still rot because everyone prefers Greataxes for three reasons:
1. Dwarves get +2 attack/damage with axes, not swords
2. Barbarians get 8 crit power with axes, compared to 6 with swords.
3. Greataxes have a faster animation than greatswords.

omg we will be over run with dwarf barbarians

maybe human paladins and fighters should get +2 attack damage with 2 handed swords
seeing how dwarfs are to short to wield them and elves are too girly and halflings are both to girly and short and how elves get a bonus already to longswords and short swords


But before I hijack my own thread any thoughts on a build
