Phat BastardSword

[StromReich]

This build looks like fun! Sure, at times I prefer to duck and cover while dropping nukes on mine? enemy's, while other times I like taking on the big bad wolf head on. (while someone else hides and causes them to internally combust).

That said, this build can really put you in the middle of the action, able to hold down aggro, heal, and eat the babies!

I give you, Phat BastardSwords

With Perfect Two Weapon Fighting, Perfect Two Handed Fighting, Perfect Single Weapon Fighting, Greater Two Handed Fighting, and incredible PRR/MRR, AC, Melee Power and both of the only two top level Pally spells that matter.
Phat BastardSwords is also proficient in BastardSwords of course.

Given experience with builds such as these, I was hoping to get some pointers on where my enchantment points may better be allocated. Was also curious if both of the identical defensive enhancement trees in Fighter & Pally would stack?

Thanks for any feedback and inspiration!

You should either switchover to SWF OR try to work in the Shield Mastery line (Shield MAstery, Imp Shield MAstery, Imp Shield bash) OR swiotch to a straight 2H weapon.

With that feat layout, you will do much more damage using a gsword. Soif you're sold on sticking with bsword you have the option of using the SWF line + an orb or using a shield and fitting in imp shield feats and then squeezing in as much THF feats as you can. What you have now is suboptimal at bsword and is missing about 40-50% of you potential dmg output (or missing a bunch of defensive perks without the shield feats). The whole joy of a bsword is it benefits from both shield mastery and thf feats lines at the same time. This only works if you actually take the shield feat lines.

I'm running a bsword+shield build right now on a CHA paladin with PDK, a +1 heart with Helm as diety and it works as advertised.
