fighter 12 / barbarian 8 2hf mauler

[FuzzyDuck81]

A kensai/frenzied bezerker build i've started for some smashy fun, but instead of going with the more common choices of dual dwarven axes or greataxe, i decided to go for something a little different, and specialise in mauls instead - i know, for RP reasons i should really have some bard in there so i can go "hammertime!" and start dancing

Since his AC will be pretty much meaningless at higher levels (GH onwards, if not before) i'll probably do a lesser reincarnation to have starting stats 18/8/18/12/10/6 for more HP & slightly better will saves.

Would WF be a better choice for their 2HF enhancements (and other benefits of course)? Also, would it make more sense to do 6 barb / 2 ??? (e.g., rogue for UMD & Evasion)? Dunno, just thinking out loud (metaphorically speaking), that's why I ask. :-)

[FuzzyDuck81]

I considered WF, but i already have a WF 2hander (fighter/wiz) & wanted to be a little less of a burden on healers in the group Also, due to the healers friend (i'd never take less than HF2) & the 2wf chain enhancements i just wouldnt have as much AP to spend on other enhancements to boost my rages, save DCs for trip/stunning blow etc.

I also considered 2 levels of rogue, but my reflex saves would be so low that it'd barely be worth it for evasion - still, thinking about it now being able to get some decent UMD & balance would probably be a good idea.. o well, when i get back home I'll reroll and put a single level bardsplash in there too Skillpoint benefits will be very similar, and I'll be able to use a bunch of wands for pre-fight buffing & post-fight self-healing.

I was a pure barb, TRed into a 12/8 fighter/barb, and now I TRed back to pure barb.

This build is very fun with haste boost, but dps wise, it's lacking alot.
