THF - how much I'm missing?

[gott_ist_tot]

How much I'm missing by not taking the THF feats?
I'm playing 2/18 pally/sorc so I'll never have it, just wondering.
I'm only using 2 first attacks and then move a bit to repeat the sequence, seems faster this way. If I found room for one THF feat, would this be worth it?

Probably not important but using carnifex right now.

Well, you know you're losing a huge boost to your BAB by doing this, right? Your BAB for the attack chain is 11/11/16/21

Hard to say - how important is beating on things with a two handed weapon for you? THF and TWF chains both work rather better if you can go all three levels, but THF doesn't need a 17 Dex

Probably not important but using carnifex right now.

Um, that's an ML 4 weapon. Couldn't you do a little better?

without GTWF you dont get glancing blows while twitching, with it you get them 50%
thats alot of damage which adds up. also the feats increase the chance to trigger special effects on glancing blows

Carnifex is a ML 4 weapon that have a greater crit range of 17-20 (compared to a 20), so yes, it IS a good weapon except when you have dr to bypass and until you got a good level 10+ weapon

No, no, I understand Carnifex is a great weapon at, say, level 8 (hell, I loved my Carnifex so much made a little Barbarian to hold mine once I outgrew it). But at level 20?

When I GR'd my WF Kensei I took all of the THF feats as well as the WF enhancements (greater apps).

It was amazing how much more "damage" he started doing. Was pretty sick watching the numbers scroll (not like the old wall of fire days, but prety sweet...)

If you can fit them in, take 'um...

Pretty sure the additional feats also increase the amount of damage done by glancing blows...Not sure of what the actual break down is though.

ddowiki.com has a pretty good breakdown of what the feats get you.
