[QUOTE="bonus, post: 4903692, member: 84930"] Aha, cool. Anyway, I'm playing a fighter in a party that also has an archer ranger and a warlock. Two strikers and a defender, not very balanced, so I want to be as sticky and tough as possible, while also being able to give healing to myself and my allies. So, I'd start as a human fighter, stats being STR 18, 13 CON, 14 DEX, 10 INT, 13 WIS, 10 CHA. I'd take all the at-will powers except Reaping Strike at 1st level, also Steel Serpent Strike as the encounter power and Comeback Strike as the daily. My feats of choice would be Blade Opportunist (+2 to opportunity attacks with heavy blade) and Weapon Focus (Heavy Blade). I'd use a sword and a shield. At level 2 I'd take the Cleric multiclass, and the other feats and powers I'd choose like this: 2. Unstoppable, Initiate of the Faith 3. Dance of Steel 4. +1 CON, +1 WIS, Novice Power (swap Steel Serpent Strike for Healing Strike) 5. Dizzying Blow 6. Unbreakable, Durable 7. Iron Bulwark 8. +1 CON, +1 STR, Acolyte Power (swap Durable for Divine Vigor) 9. Victorious Surge 10. Into the Fray, Armor Proficiency (Plate) 11. +1 to all Warpriest Paragon Path (Warpriest's Stratey, Warpriest's Training), Battle Cry Heavy Blade Opportunity 12. Battle Favor, Armor Specialization (Plate) 13. Replace Iron Bulwark with Storm of Blows 14. +1 DEX, +1 WIS, Uncanny Dodge 15. Replace Dizzying Blow with Dragon's Fangs 16. Iron Warrior, Shield Specialization 17. Replace Storm of Blows with Vorpal Tornado 18. +1 STR, +1 DEX, Devastating Critical 19. -- 20. Battle Pyres, Danger Sense 21. +1 to all, Demigod Epic Destiny, Heavy Blade Mastery What do you guys think? Two strikers will deal enough damage, so I was just thinking of getting the most flack, keeping the enemies off them and issuing some healing when I can. [/QUOTE]
