A 17/3 Clonk. Help me to see the flaws, pls.

[ConnorMacLoad]

My purpose here would basically just be a normal raid farmer on my account, and some sort of a healing option. I am hoping to be able to get in and swing, but could fall back and heal.

With those things in mind, where are the holes?

Things I can think of off the top of my head:

No power attack?
I figure I am probably going to have a hard enough time hitting as is, so no need for power attack.

meh, nm. It is really not what I was looking for in the end. Wraps are better and I am finding it hard to find anything that LS's can provide this build that would make it more beneficial than wraps.

I'd recommend bouncing over to a similar thread I started and reading the discussion there.

I think that will answer alot of questions.

I TRed my Elf Melee cleric into almost exactly this to see how the synergy between Elf/Longswords/Monk/Whirling Steel could actually work out. I have extend and PA instead of Imp Crit and GTWF though ... feats are a bit tight :s

I'm enjoying it so far but last night I was told at the end of shroud part 2 that my "build sucks" and I "probably can't heal". After he recalled and dropped group (different, equally daft reason) we finished with no deaths other than after part 4 so the other healer must've been pretty good

The main benefit over handwraps is obviously greensteel. ToD rings are taken by Gtr Devotion 8 and Str +2 so the option of a min2 with Wis +2 is handy. However, I'm still not convinced I'm any better off than being uncentered w/Falchions and the two mental toughness feats.
