Help building a WF Intimitank.

[Fishcatch22]

Hey folks. Since my GF is very intent on rolling a drow Wizard once she unlocks it, I was thinking of making a WF Intimitank fighter to level along with it, so she can heal me. While it's more straightforward than building other chars I've rolled, I still want some help as to what my starting stats should be. I will be going 28PB unfortunately, so I need to know where to cut stat corners. I was thinking of doing a base stat spread like this:
16 STR
10/12 DEX
16 CON
12/14 INT
6 WIS
10/12 CHA
My main question with my stats is which tome should I eat at level 7: a 2+ int (lowering int to 12) or a 2+ dex (lowering dex to 10)? I was thinking of raising cha to 12 maybe, not sure where I'd cut corners for that. I will get the extra 6 dex from an endgame item; I'm pretty sure with addy body enhancements + SD line I'd only get 4+ to max dex bonus. Featwise I was probably just going to do Bswords +THF since WF favor THF; other feats are obvious standards (Power attack, slashing focuses, CE, Toughness, intim boosters, ect). Will max Intim and UMD, not sure about other skills, so far Jump and Balance seem like useful candidates. Pretty sure levelup stats go into STR. Help appreciated.

bump?

One thing I can see is that you don't need is that much charisma. Between items and pots you will be able to get your chr up when you need to.

I really enjoyed playing a verision of Anthios888's RockCandy. Here is the updated information on it: http://forums.ddo.com/showpost.php?p...&postcount=109 It can certainly handle the DPS role and tank role as needed with evasion and full umd thrown in.

Yeah, I figured, just I seen a few intim builds with 12 Chr. Also, forgot about fighter armor mastery, will those stack with the WF enhancement lines?

WF do not get AC-/MDB-boosting enhs; perhaps you're thinking of dwarves. WF get DR enhs and can take Improved DR and Mithril Fluidity (boosts MDB w/ Mithril Body) feats.

For a 28-pt WF build, I would probably dump-stat CHA and rely more on hate-tanking w/WF Brute Fighting enhs than Intimitanking.

Alternatively, do you have FvS too? If so, you could do a WF LoB DPS hate-tank. You and your GF can take turns healing each other.

Oh, I thgohut they got feats that improved MDB on Addy, I guess I confused it with Mithral. So I would still have 4+ MDB with fighter ehns and a Mithral TS, right? And yeah I do, thats actually what I'm leveling with my GFs Tempest right now. I wanted to make a tank fighter, and since shes making a Wizzy I figured WF would be the most efficient choice. I know 28p isn't ideal, but could it be decent enough if I set Dex and Int to 12, then ate a Dex and an Int tome for CE and dodge?

For my WF Intimitank I went with (32 pt build);

STR 16
DEX 10
CON 18
INT 12
WIS 06
CHR 12

You won't have any points to invest into UMD IMHO, so I skipped that completely. Ate a +1 CHR tome at level 3 so I could get CE later and also picked up Force of Personality to help with saves somewhat. The points I had were invested into Intimidate, Jump, and Balance (in that order).

Don't have access to my current build from the office, will send it to you later if you're interested

SUre- what would you shave off those stats to make it 28p? Maybe I should just make them both 12 and eat 2 tomes...

Just curious, but what do you plan on intimidating with this build? Just raid trash mobs and normal quests or can a WF get a high enough intim for raid bosses?

I've seen several Intim builds with 10 chr base, so I assume its possible as long as you have no negative modifiers.
