    Default Need a good build for DPS

    Ok I'm tired of being the only one who doesn't do any damage in melee while everyone else is nuking stuff. I wanna come to a single \ multi targets and nuke their butts before they nuke mine, without needing to retreat for heals (Like with my 2hf paladin that sucks).
    I am looking for a good build for high melee DPS. 32 build, no restriction on class, the only restriction is that it must not be warforged (Because of how healings work on them).
    Please refer to the stats, feats, twf\thf, gear (not the near impossible to get gear though), and please try to say why you chose each thing (e.g: "Go for orc because of their higher strength").

    Keep in mind that for twf, +2 dex tome can be obtained to save some points.

    Thank you in advance!

    Default Might be the wrong forum to suggest this but:

    How about a pure 20 strength based half-orc rogue assassin?
    Stats:
    str-18 (Level-ups here)
    dex-15
    con-16
    int-10
    wis-base
    cha-base

    Should be enough to int to keep your trapskills and umd maxed.

    Feats:
    toughness
    khopesh proficiency
    twf
    itwf
    ic:slash
    gtwf
    power attack

    Just grab any sort of khopesh and have at it.

    For your bonus feats you can take improved evasion and skill mastery a bunch,if you are worried about umd.

    At the very least,you'll be able to self heal and be pretty sturdy if you use displacement/stoneskin scrolls.
    Tons of dps if you can handle aggro well too.

    If you want multi target melee DPS, Barbarian is the ONLY choice. Supreme cleave is the answer to multi target aoe melee dps. It's really powerful, tho does come with a cost (self damage)

    Fighters have similar dps, in more short term burst, but lack the aoe dps a barb can put out as they have no access to surpeme cleave, and regular cleaves are **** in comparison.

    Rogues are excellent single target dps, in situations where you can get your sneak attacks.

    Various builds and guides in my sig.

    Well I am happy with my Human 12/7/1 Ranger/Paladin/Rogue. I have maxed out healing from the Human improved healing plus taking Hunter of the Dead for Paladin, Unyielding Sovereignty every 10 mins, 2 lay on hands, self heals from spells, Tempest II, evasion and UMD for Heal scrolls. While I do occasionally have to back out of some tough fights for a heal scroll, most of the time I can just hit LOH or US and keep on fighting. Throw on a displacement when needed and your golden. Add in Exalted Smite and Divine Sacrifice along with the free TWF feats and you are doing some decent DPS.

    I happen to have some GS Heavy Picks so I use them for now but it would be easy to take Khopesh too. (I plan on doing so when I can craft some) At level 15 the max I hit with an exalted smite was 513 damage so you can put the hurt on. I'm at work right now so I can't look and see what else I have but I can post when I get home if interested.

    Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
    Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
    Seeking the bubble reputation,
    Even in the dragon's mouth.
