[QUOTE="ShaggySpellsword, post: 4903917, member: 17626"] I've played a couple of these style characters, and have two suggestions for what works. Suggestion 1: Play a Fighter/Multi-Warlock. As a human/tiefling, fight Bastard Sword/Shield and power-swap for good Warlock close burst/blast powers that have push effects. Of course you, get Arcane Implement Prof (Heavy Blade). Boost Str/Con very high. At Paragon, go Iron Vanguard for bonus damage on every Push/Prone! Also at Paragon, take Lightning Reflexes/Iron will to make up for your not great Defenses. Suggestion 2: Human Hybrid Warlock/Swordmage. Focus on Int and Con, take Eldritch Strike, Diabolic Grasp, and whatever Swordmage At-will tickles your fancy. Focus on Close multi-target attacks. Pick whichever type of Swordmage you want to be, they all have their own bonuses. I personally like Assault for this build, just because Eldritch Strike counts as a melee basic attack which you can use with your Aegis. That said, Shielding is probably the most defendery. Pump Int and Con to a very high level, and be sure to take Iron Will to cover your low will defense. Pick whichever Paragon Path/ED excites you the most. If you can live with your "Dark Knight" wearing Hide/Leather armor, this build is lots of fun. [/QUOTE]
