WF - 18 Paladin/2Fighter build - Request Feedback

[Propane]

Hay peps-

Thinking of roll up my first Warforge !

I am shooting for a main tank (Hound, VOD, TOD, ect…)

Am I headed in the correct direction?

For gear…

+6 WIS HP item shroud
Air-Air-Air shroud for CHR skills and Spell points


A few questions-
Is Force of personality worth the feat for improved saves?

Thoughts of Defener of Siberys? Will I be to slow moving to tank?

While in Bladesworn Tranformation –
Can my own Lay on Hands work on me?
Can arcane’s repair me?

Will Divine Righteousness + Brute Fighting I + Divine Sacrifice II + Exalted Smite be enough to keep hate agro?

I am planning on using either Scimitar/Shield or Falchion for best chance of landing a expanded crit with DS or ES.

Thanks in advance!

[Mr_Tank]

While in Bladesworn Tranformation –
Can my own Lay on Hands work on me?
Can arcane’s repair me?
Yes to all
I am planning on using either Scimitar/Shield or Falchion for best chance of landing a expanded crit with DS or ES.
Go Falchion either Lit II or Pos III

In red

However if you want a raid tank and especially for your first wf one I suggest you be a strait 20 pal or 20 fighter. Capstones are nice for both as they up your dps thus making your hate tanking better.
Just my 2cp

[Phidius]

Consider 2 monk instead of 2 Fighter - you get better base saves, and the evasion goes very nicely with paladin.

Both of the feats selected at your fighter levels are in the list of monk feats.

[Propane]

Thanks for the responce!

If I go straigh pally - I would drop...

Force of Personality and Two Handed Fighting -

For monk and evasion - can I use Mithral Body?

Rogue with UMD would be a thought as well... depending on how much lossing the feats would hurt-

[Propane]

Evasion and Mithral Body work - (but loose WIS AC bonus).

Need to run some numbers -but if tanking with shield you will loose WIS AC bonus anyway...

[Mr_Tank]

If that is the case go rogue. Get the backstab and the evasion.

[Propane]

I was thinking about that...

I would loose 2 feats, put gain some skill points (UMD and open locks...)
I don't see myself getting a lot of sneak attack dmg - plan on having agro a lot of the time

I am wonding if the 2 feats would be best spent on...

2 handed fighting & improved 2 handed fighting-
or
2 more toughness feats
Or
other....

I have tweeked the build and posted the update in the Paladin forums - thanks!
