Quote:If you haven't made the khopeshes yet then why not just go THF and get the Barb capstone and mighty rage? Or go with DA if you are making another Dorf and forget about the fighter levels. Seems like a lot to give up just for feats.
The first tier of fighter haste boost is very powerful, unless they've changed it.
Now that the barb capstone alacrity bonus bug has been removed, I'd guess that the 18/2 and the pure barb are very close in DPS. I'm not really sure which would be higher.
Edit: I find my barb needs 1 more feat. Gotta have the THF line, cleave, and power attack. Toughness isn't really an option in my mind, with the cheap AP booster it's a really nice feat. A pure barb has to decide between toughness or stunning blow.
Now, as far as the extra feat that remains with an 18/2, I took quick draw. Not particularly attached to that feat, but I just didn't see anything better. Switching weapons quickly comes in handy, and I guess it's fun to throw stuff faster.
p.s. Strake is finally a 32-point build!
