Hi guys, I've taken about a year away from DDO and been back for about a month. My character is a twf fighter with a splash of paladin for wand healing and fear/disease immunity but he's a 28 pt build and I did some stupid things when i first created him. I'm leveling up fairly quickly and reincarnation is becoming the 300 lb gorilla in the room.

Since he has a nice collection of dwarven axes and I want to become a serious dps'er my first thought was to create a twf dwarven barb. I've read a lot of the forum here and have seen a lot of good pointers but I have two main concerns I would like your opinion on. It seems going 20 barb would mean I had to heal only with pots. Is this a problem for most of you?

The other is I have a set of Stonemeld Armor with DR 5/-. I've worn it for quite a while even though I can achieve better AC with MFP (which I know isn't important on my new character- but was on my fighter)or get guards on another set of armor. On the other hand the new, to me at least, capstones make me hesitant to splash and I know As a barb I will be feat starved, espcially compared to what I'm used to. Would it, in your guys opinion, be worth working in a feat or splashing a level of fighter to get that DR or does it even stack with barbarian DR?

Thanks for your help in advance guys.
