TWF Build Advice

[brillsam]

I'm looking for a recommendation for a TWF Longsword build, need to be able to do some self healing. This is a fourth life build with Tomes, equipment, ect. This build will go to 20 and then TR.

Thanks

Hey!

You might want to look into a solar phoenix build using two longsword (13 Pally/7Monk/1Rog. iirc) this is a pretty nice build w/ high heal amp. So with lay of hand, pally heal spells, monk light healing curse and monk Wholess of the body you should be able to solo a couple of stuff without problems.

If you're looking for a different PL you can choose any melee class and splash 6 ranger in it to get free TWF and iTWF.
If you really want a self sufficient build, go FvS18/MnK2 w/ Shield of Whirling Steel (Monk stay centered with Longswords)

Hope I helped!

Well, there are some fine choices for Longsword TWF (12 ranger/6 fighter/2 monk, or the old Solar Phoenix (15 paladin/2 fighter/3 monk Healing amp build). But I think I'd go for something interesting:

Helf 12 FvS/6 fighter/2 monk

16 STR
15 DEX
14 CON
12 INT
8 WIS
13 CHA

Feats:

Paladin Dilentantte
Toughness
Weapon Focus: Slashing Weapons
Whirling Steel Strike
Enpower Healing
Maximize (for Divine Punishment. Also for BB if going for 13 FvS/6 fighter/1 monk)
Quicken
PA
Cleave
Greater Cleave
TWF
ITWF
GTWF
OC
IC

Last feat can be anything (Improved Sunder, Weapon Specialization, Power Critical, Mental Toughness, Precision, CE, past life feats, and another Toughness are things which come into my mind...)

Skills: UMD, Intimidate/Diplomacy and Concentration. 1 point into tumble. After lvl 7, invest into balance.

Pros:
High self-sufficiency
OK DPS (at least with Legendary Dreadnought)
Awesome saves
Good survivability

Cons:
- No PRR unless going with uncentered (and then the WSS isn't worht it. Needs ot be light armor anyways) or a minor PRR if going earth stance and getting ED bonuses (Unbreakable stance of Unyielding Sentinel, Standing with Stone or Improved CE if you pick CE as your optional feat)
- Not that good spell DPS (mostly only your anchor and DP)
- No CC
- No DR

Overall, I think that build looks fine for me.
