More of a question -

Would a different race be suited better for TWF? From what I read 1/2 Orc syncs well with THF. I am not that experienced at building or TRing, so I am curious.

From everything I read they do tend to synch well with THF becasue they have enchancment lines like a WF as well as a damage line for THF weps. They seem to be made especially for Barbs but would prolly excell in most DPS classes.

Although the only advantage I see from the 18/2 barb/fig is some extra feats and haste boost. Why not go full THF barb?

From what I have read it looks like Half-Orc Barbs will have DPS as if they had a pocket bard.  I'm seriously considering a fast TR of my Dwarf THF to Half-Orc Barb just to enjoy the insanity before the U9 nerf.

Dreadler may get the same treatment. There may be a shortage of lvl 20 barbs in the near future. At least until everyone finishes TRing. Smiley

A shortage of high lvl barbs and an over abundunce of low lvl barbs. Grin In fact I am pretty sure that when this hits live Korthos will look like a tribe of flaming great weapon weilding orcs and screams of HJEALS ME!!1!! will be filling up general chat.

I was thinking along the same lines when I was planning to roll up a Half Orc THF melee after U7 comes out, but I did out the calcs and a TWF Half Orc with Khopeshes will still out-dps THF versions, with the possible exception of THF Barbarian. My calcs may be off, but seem pretty accurate.

Of course, I should note that I was doing the comparison for a 12 Fighter/6 Barbarian/2 Rogue builds, with the THF version using Falchion and the TWF using Khopeshes. Not sure how generalizable the results are, but I'd suspect they are.

Edit: The new update 7 glancing blows formula will probably help THF catch up, but I was calculating mainly for single-target DPS.

I thought the same thing, but I have no low level packs.

Of course I thought about doing it when monks came out too, but that was a painful experiment that was short lived.

Mind you stainer, god killed a kitten the moment you hit "post message" for a response that included the word "cleric"

OOO... I wasn't poking that particular button, but I see how in could be construed that way. It would be a good time to level any healing class with all those half-orcs running around.

I'm not sure which way I would go (although I'm itching to try out a rogue), but it appears that you forgot Toughness.  You probably need to drop Quickdraw for the Toughness if you don't want to be a half-orc yoyo.

Not going THF Barb because they are weak. For them to maintain there DPS in U7 they will have to stand on the spot not moving, this DPS is also lower than TWF.

If you are going to roll a THF melee make it a pure Fighter and make sure you know how to twitch. Note that THF GS to Epic SoS is a large leap and without the best THF weapon you will be not so good DPS.


Quote:

For the Rogue build I get free 10 HP from the Barb past life and I cannot afford many toughness enhancements which is why the Int is low and the con is relatively high.


Quote:
Why not go full THF barb


8 Haste boosts and 2 feats increases your DPS more than 4 str, there is not much reason to go pure Barb atm.

12 Fighter/6 Barbarian/2 Rogue


The 12/6/2 F/B/R is good and I was going to TR another toon into one, however fitting in the extra HO enhancements along with the rest of the class enhancements is a pain, plus imo you have to spend so much time managing agro for the 2 Rogue levels and activating boosts (power surge, haste boost, rage, frenzy) that its not overly practical.

Either Halfling Rogue (+4 flanking to hit, +8 SA)
Or HO (+4 str, +3 PA, -1 to hit)

Yeah, managing the clickies is a bit of a pain, but I've gotten used to playing my Monk and cycling through ki moves constantly, so I don't imagine that it's much worse. Dunno, guess I'll find out.

Not too concerned about the managing aggro part. If I get sneak attacks, great, if not, I still like evasion and full UMD. I have a couple pretty good intimitanks in my guild that typically come along for VoD, ToD, etc, so I figure I'll get my sneak attacks in when it counts.

Depending on equipment and style of play, you can sometimes drop power rage IV from the 18/2 and free up some action points.

For this purpose, guild buffs should be considered equipment.

I agree... Half-orc rogue will be a heavy dps build. Fact is lends well in any 3/4 BaB melee class

I wont roll a build because not everyone has one, I'll roll it because it is the most effective killer.

HO WC will be very easy to build as you do not need many Bard enhancements leaving plenty free to spend on splashes and HO enhancements.

I think with the THF enhancements, you can make a pretty effective warchanter bard, same as you could with WF...except HOs get str instead of con and their self heals are fully effective.
