[QUOTE="Goumindong, post: 4362522, member: 70874"] The hardest thing about going warlord/wizard is leveraging your strength attacks against your int. You don't get an implement and need to get that very strong bonus from somewhere else. Pump str and int, with a tertiary score in charisma. Dump con/dex/wisdom. Tactical warlord of course. Human or Dragon born is the only option really, though tieflings can make a strong option. Nothing else comes close to pushing the right stats. Humans get action surge and Dragon born get cha/str. Str is where the majority of your attacks will come from and all the +attack bonuses in the world won't matter if you don't hit with the power that grants them. Another problem is that Warlords get some really awesome pargaon paths, so you won't end up with many wizard powers in your repertoire. You will need to do everything you can to increase your to hit. Action surge is a must if you are a human. Always use a +3 attack proficiency weapon. Back to the wall is another good one(especially since you can pick up a wizard utility power that creates a wall 1/day. Other good options if you somehow don't dump dex are heavy blade opportunity/blade opportunity/combat reflexes. (I.E. when someone provokes you can use an at-will and then give friendlies bonuses to attack or extra attacks), you can also pick up arcane reach if you have 15 dex. But that is still a lot of dex(14) which ought to be going into str or int. Improved init is always important. Wintertouched/Lasting Frost are also good choices in the paragon tier. Yadda yadda yadda, maximize your secondary abilities and the +to hit abilities from the warlord. Dual wield and use the +to hit abilites to make sure your wizard abilities hit. [/QUOTE]
