	Doing 11 Druid/ 6 fighter/ 3 rgr Have tons of tier 3 TF khopeshes and a couple orbs including draconic reinvigoration. Never done a wolf nor Druid ever. Improved critical bludgeon or slashing? In Kensai, weapon focus heavy blades to get keen edge? I saw the Druid wolf threads but these are specific questions regarding khopeshes. Thanks in advance.

Read up on wolf/tree/unarmed combat or just copy a build if you are lazy and don't care about the mechanics involved. The general rule of thumb is that your weapon does not apply except in the cases where it does.

	Khopesh is inferior for wolf. You burn a feat and get no DPS benefit. It means you can equip your TF without a nonproficiency penalty, but any other 1 hand TF does the same damage without wasting that feat. You'd want your focus to be martial arts or druidic, because biting always counts as "unarmed". That being said, Keen Edge will not apply, no matter what you do. The only good stuff in Kensei for you will be MP related.

	A wolf without Dance of Death is a sad wolf indeed unless you only care about boss DPS. Haven't fleshed out the details yet, but was discussing something similar with a guildie last night. Assuming 5FS is correct regarding most of the Kensai abilities not applying to wolves, I would think that a druid/ranger/monk mix would be best. Minimum of 9 druid for Winter Wolf and Natural Fighting feats.� Minimum of 5 ranger for Dance of Death.� Minimum of 6 ranger if you're going for the swf/twf version. The rest in Monk for evasion, melee power, etc.

I would stay with harrier because it is less ap to get to. and 10% attack speed is pretty good.

DoD is really good with monk kit attacks right now. stance strikes, iron fist, fist of light all register as basic attack animations triggering DoD. fist of light will heal per hit x number of mobs hit.

Yeah, this made rolling through Shadowdancer tolerable on a 6Monk/6Ranger/8Fighter PDK seeing multiple hits of Shrouding Stike and Executioner's Strike along side the Stunning Fists, Etc etc.
