    Default besides the suckage

    So I know there's a lot of hate out there for my current build, but I want to throw WW attack, cleave and great cleave on a THF full feat chain. Unfortunately, I only have room for two of these other feats... what would you suggest?

    I need a little more information about your build before I can comment.

    Please post a reply with your class(es), race, and unbuffed stats (base and inherant only). If you want to include a little bit of information about what your build is all about in a general sense then that would be helpful as well.

    Do not bother with whirlwind, it is more a twf thing and is not worth 4 feats just to get one more spinny attack.

    Basically dealing with a WF TAII/KenI build. Problem is the toon is a little lacking in DPS since I am trying to get an effective AC. I like the idea of glancing blows, and timing of cleave and the like.
    Dealing with a total of 13 feats. 7 standard, 2 monk, and 4 fighter(feats not levels). So far I have added the Spring Attack feat as I have a little problem connecting with Power Attack on my current level, this might be sharded out later.
    Currently have the following feats mapped out. Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, WF: Blug, WS: Blug, Toughness, THF, ITHF, GTHF, Power Attack, Combat Expertise and whatever is left for the other 2.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions for this type of build (specifically feats)?

    What gives you the idea that Whirlwind attack has anything to do with TWF?

    Just the build style, grab aggro, hold it, hit as many mobs as possible as quickly as possible... pretty much trash mob focused.
    I realize that this toon won't be phenomenal at much of anything, but its tonsafun.

    I would forget about Combat Expertise. AC is going to be an issue with this build and I would rather see a THF build focus on killing things instead. Instead, focus on the DR enhancements/feats to offset the AC problem.

    Proposed changes on Lamanina may make Cleave, Great Cleave, and Whirlwind attack viable options. But since they aren't confirmed I'd hold my breath before making the build.

    Just make sure your intimidate is as high as possible to assist with your aggro control and bad things coming into range of your swings should find they are having a bad day. I'm always a fan of people trying new and innovative things so good luck on the build and keep us posted on how it turns out.

    Another reason for taking Combat Expertise is that it is required for Whirlwind Attack.

    Oh right, I forgot about that pre-req. But since you would still be one feat short I'd just go with the list you have (minus CE) and try Cleave, Great Cleave, and Improved Critical: [X] for the weapon type you will normally be using.
