Need Advice: TWF Dwarven Pally / Warlock

[Smokewolf]

Looking at Pally / War multiclass with TWF (Dwarven Axes for glancing blows) as a TR possibility. Was wondering if anyone had prior experience with anything similar?

Thanks in advance!

TWF (Dwarven Axes for glancing blows)

Dwarven axes and bastard swords do NOT get glancing blows when dual-wielded; only SWF or S&B.

I supose thats why i very rarely see either weapon used in game.

Would Favored Soul's warpriest be better then Pally?

I ask becasue the self healing from Ameliorating Strike looks nice for a sword and board tank.

Would Favored Soul's warpriest be better then Pally?

For DPS? No. KotC + Zeal + Holy Sword is way better DPS than anything provided by Warpriest.

Don't bother with tower shield prof feat; that is granted by Master's Touch which is a warlock spell.

At a glance, your build will have high survivability (decent self-heals, lots of temp & perm HPs, Displacement, Radiant Forcefield DM) and pretty poor DPS. In particular, S&B w/out any KotC or Vanguard enhancements is just bad.

If your goal is simply to be the last toon standing at any given time, you should be fine. If you're expecting to contribute to groups in any other way, you'll be...less fine (IMO).

Just need to look at skills.... healing , concentration, balence, umd being most important.

[Smokewolf]

3/15/2017: Updated melee / dps variant to include stat & skill changes. Spread the classes out a little bit more as Warlock T5 isn't available till character level 9 due to the AP's per level.
While its not perfect, it's about as good as can be done until racial TR's become available in the next update. (I've heard tomorrow?)

As always, constructive thoughts and comments are welcome.

Cheers!
