Last feat?

[MagicalDad]

Have Barb15/Ftr2 that just hit lvl 18, and needs to decide on last feat. His current feats are

PA, Cleave, Toughness, THF, ITHF, GTHF, ImpCrit:Slash, Stunning Blow.

The only thing I can think of taking for my last feat is another Toughness. It seems ... disappointing to spend a feat on 23 HP - but are there better ideas?

Improved Sunder. It will be needed against the increased fortification of raid bosses and helps out the entire party, it's a feat I'm going to take whenever possible on my fighter builds from now on.

Quickdraw? It halves the activation time of damage boost and i think frenzy and death frenzy but i'd have to double check them.

[Kinerd]

Quickdraw absolutely halves enforced cooldown for Frenzy and Death Frenzy. Whether that's as useful as reduced fortification is a subjective matter.

If you're unwilling to respec to pure 20 barb, which would make you an over-all more powerfull character in general, then take Improved Sunder.

As a player that focuses entirely on end game, and the latest content at any given time, i believe at this point that Pure Barb is the best way to go. Leaving Improved sunder to the excess-feat-having fighter in the group is more efficient then losing 3-4str 1dr 2 con 4hp and the title of being a True Barbarian.

But if you really do enjoy having a 2 fighter splash there is nothing more beneficial to be had then Toughness (which you said you have) and Improved Sunder (which I suggest you take). A barb has the greatest potential DC for Imp. Sunder, making it easier to rely on and thus increasing all melee dps by X%.


TLDR: Take Improved Sunder. 23hp is worthless in a pool of 900.

I have a similar choice to make for my barb. I'm hesitating between Exotic weapon: khopesh (I'm TWF) and Imp. sunder. A hard choice ... As a dwarf, I could use daxes, but they're still a loss of dps compared to khopeshes. Since you don't have that problem as a THF, I would definitely take imp. sunder.

Btw, toughness is much more than 22 hp, because you also have the corresponding enhancements (at least +40 hp more, and up to +80 if you really like on a dwarf or a WF).
*Edit: forget it, thought you wanted to swap the 1st toughness. Yes a 2nd toughness is pretty useless.

Quickdraw is useless on a FB imo, since you can lauch a supreme cleave during the activation of the action boost.

Thanks all for the advice!
