Tactical fighters?

[ErgonomicCat]

Do people still build tactical fighters? All I could find were old links to Kraze's build back in Mod 6.

Has anything changed? I've been out for a while, but EU brought me back....

Stunning Blow is nice from time to time, but a character specialized in "tactics" isn't really good. Most combat encounters fall into one of two categories:
1. A big boss who is immune to "tactical" special attacks.
2. A big crowd whose individual members aren't there long enough for a "tactical" attack to have much use.

I think this one really depends on how twinked out/geared the party is. I've been playing on Cannith, and you better believe with the type of gear people have at low levels, putting 1 of 4 trolls/ogres on the ground at the beginning of the fight REALLY helps.

Tactical fighters are still viable. Just don't put all your eggs in one basket. With all the extra feats a fighter gets, it shouldn't be hard to squeeze in one or two tactical feats, and a few AP to give you some variety to your normal fighter duties. I just wouldn't build around tactics being your main focus.

With the bonus to these attacks from Kensai and with more Fighters going all the way to 20 to get the capstone, I expect to see some more people using tactics. An extra 2 or 3 feats isn't such a big deal for a level 20 Fighter.

the one i forsee many using is stunning blow for 1 simple reason, stun = auto crit + mob dun fight back + only 1 feat
