looks very nice. been trying to figure out a dw twf/intimi tank. always debated goin 2 pal or not. just out of curiosity does the command bonus stack with the shroud crafted item also looking at this are you going to be using a shield when in intim mode. (im assuming with shd mast and imp shd mas) unless my math is off you will not get ur full dex bonus

[Cyr]

meh, I like quick's better :P

On an actual serious note you going to post the human next TR or you give up on that?

think im gonna stick with Dwarf for the time being... gather more tomes..... wait to see if the intim check will go up on the other epics raids that will come out...

[Cashiry]

Updated, since i've been asked recently on the changes made....

[Quikster]

I struck out on all my 20ths for tomes and already have most of the loot from each raid (cept lotd which i struck out on at 20 as well )

I pulled 1 +4 wis tome, which does me not good Wish i could update mine soon

Nice pouch of jerky btw

ya struck out on my 20th ToD today... pulled the seal for the pouch finally after 6 months of grinding for it.... will use it for boss fights where im intim rather than hate tanking....

Yeah, was curious when I saw you running around with Greataxes the other day. It's interesting to see how similar our builds end up being, even with all of the differences between me, you & Quik. Other than the switch to THF, the big one I see for you being the saves - I'm assuming the switch back to 2 Pal was for the extra saves? I don't even have FoP, and while it's annoying to fail a will save on occasion, I'm happier with the capstone.

Edit: Oh right, and the Pal Cha 1, which would be nice.

ya, the saves are nice... and the Cha1 from pally allows me to keep the queen in place... not going to miss the double strike via fighter cap.., though it could be nice.... just not sure fighter cap is worth it....

How would you spread your points in 32pt build?

[emptysands]

How would you spread your points in 32pt build?

You need to lose 4 pts. One of Wisdom for sure, then maybe Charisma.

[Cashiry]

How would you spread your points in 32pt build?

my origional 32 pt dwarf factoring in +2 tomes was:

Str: 16
Dex: 15
Con: 12
Int: 12
Wis: 8
Cha: 13

drastic change with higher Tomes and 36 pt.... atrribute points at 4/8/12/etc.. were diffrent as well.. So, can fudge it to best fit your needs... with a LR if need be....

[hdogan]

What about level progression? Which levels did you take as a Paladin?

[miscreant]

What belt do do you use ?

[Cashiry]

updated... last update was back in Sept 10.

I have found that the fighter cap is more important when using a shield; since doublestrike only applies to your main hand when twf, its more just a luxury if you two weapon tank the majority of the time.

I'm also curious if the updated information is correct, as I only see the base THF feat, and no TWF feats at all

**edit** my mistake, I saw THF tanking and read it as TWF;
