	Cool. I just like to get a full understanding of how it works. I usually don't play melee so... Anyway, it looks like everyone likes the 15p/3r/2f Shadow Plate Khopesh build on these forums.... funny how the mother forums are so pro 15/5 and dance of death. I think I like the pally KoTC tree better anyway so... 15/3/2 it is. Thanks for all the input. Now, I just need to clean out my TR bank... seems to be the hardest part of it all...

	Then why not 15/4/1fighter and get ram's might? Which feat are you getting from second fighter that beats +2 STR / +2 dmg?

That's probably a better split, I didn't do it because I didn't think of it while drunk, rage-TRing, and making up the build as I was going.

Most likely not needed as you have empower and could swap it for quicken on cures and shorten other animations like cocoon. Kluege wrote on Oct 29^th, 2014 at 11:39am: PTHF Kopesh cannot glance. I dont think bastard sword or dwarven axes can either if dual wielding(mgiht be wrong).

	I added those feats because there wasn't anything else I really wanted. TW defense gave some PR. Maximize for the lower level spells and ranger spells. PTHF I can drop if there are no glancing blows. I could add quicken in, but again...not truly needed. I never had this issue where I had more open feat slots with not enough really useful feats.

The glancing blows are increased by Two Handed Fighting feat chain and enhancements that increase the effectiveness of them. I don't see them on my BS twf fighter trainwreck of agony and stupidity. But then again, as much as I cleave it is hard to tell. Would BS out perform khopesh/cleaves with MF procs on glance? I was under the impression the max of it was about 25% or so and then it was only ONE of the special effects that fired.

I think it would in mob dense quests and makes up for the crit multiplier being lower by giving glances on single targets. Aeolwind wrote on Oct 29^th, 2014 at 12:15pm: was only ONE of the special effects that fired. Could be true. My trash sword is 1st degree burns tier 1, paralyzing fear tier 2, mortal fear tier 3. That is too many procs for me to test out.

I went with Wrath of ... for t2 simply because the AE damage. My bard and Monk have zero issues staying alive. It is really strange, my barbarian is easier to run through eOrchard than my fighters or ranger; none of which have Mortal Fear.. Does PF cause held damage?

	Sounds about right. Balanced Attacks and Overwhelming Force DO make their targets helpless.

	going off-topic but AAs are still awesome. The broken stacking was fun but come on, you couldn't expect that to last. Adrenaline and Slayer Arrows are still really strong. My Tempest Ranger switched to AA for EE Mark of Death, sure I'm losing some melee DPS but the biggest loss, Dance of Death, isn't missed at all in that raid. With the group I usually run with it's fine and controlled until it gets to the "mark" phase with the final Abbot beatdown, having a big burst of ranged damage pays off when the Abbot moves around a lot and stands in the blue-shit clouds which make melee problematic. Adrenaline + manyshot + Slaying arrows + Snipershot pays off here. The monkchers are way better at this that the mostly-rangers, I still melee when manyshot is on timer.
