Or what don't you understand from my comments? I'm letting you know how things will work in this game.In an epic environment, a class lacking battlefield control, damage, hitpoints, damage reduction, spellcasting or utility will be hard to make use of. A Knight, while tier 3, at least has a means of taunting the baddies to attack him, and has some ways of preventing them to rush by (when they are not flying at least)A Barbarian can't be easily ignored as Greater Rage gives him some juicy bonuses to STR and thus more damage. A Barbarian/Frenzied Berzerker with a Greatsword and Power Attack will have around 30-40 Con depending on items, so around 500 HP, but will be a bad bad BAD thing to ignore, as he will do somewhere around 200 damage per round. If he is supported by say, a Bard with Calm Emotions, he will not be a liability to the party.A Crusader has very good offensive and defensive power with his stances, and cannot be ignored as well. He can heal himself via his outbursts and is generally thought to be the best melee clas in 3.5A Bear Totem Barbarian/Warshaper/Bear Warrior with an Antimagic Field on him will be able to grapple the level 40 Lich and rip off it's limbs, one by one, unless someone tries to poke him with a stick to let go. Not that it will do much good as this guy will have around 600 HP.So there are some pretty fun and interesting builds you can do, but focusing solely on the utilization of armour (which could be done better - ACP is not important for combat, +3 Armor bonus is sub-par when the enemy will have 25+ bonus to attack, using two shields will just make the baddies ignore him etc.) will not yield the best results.Things to note: [sblock=Leap Attack]from Complete Adventurer:You can combine a powerful charge and a mighty leap into one devastating attack.Prerequisites: Jump 8 ranks, Power Attack.Benefit: You can combine a jump with a charge against an opponent. If you cover at least 10 feet of horizontal distance with your jump, and you end your jump in a square from which you threaten your target, you can double the extra damage dealt by your use of the Power Attack feat. If you use this tactic with a two-handed weapon, you instead triple the extra damage from Power Attack. This attack must follow all the normal rules for using the Jump skill and for making a charge, except that you ignore rough terrain in any squares you jump over.[/sblock][sblock=Shock Trooper]from Complete WarriorYou are adept at breaking formations of soldiers when you rush in to battle.Prerequisites: Improved Bull Rush, Power Attack, Base Attack Bonus +6Benefit: The Shock Trooper feat enables the use of three tactical maneuvers.Direct Bull Rush: To use this maneuver, you must make a successful bull rush attempt as part of a charge. For every square you push your foe back, you may also push that foe one square to the left or right.Domino Rush: To use this maneuver, you must make a successful bull rush attempt that focuses a foe into the same square as another foe. You may take a free trip attempt against both foes at the same time, and neither foe gets a chance to trip you if your attempt fails.Heedlesss Charge: To use this maneuver, you must charge and make the attack at the end of the charge using your Power Attack feat. The penalty you take on your attack roll must be -5 or worse. In addition to normal charge modifiers (which give you a -2 penalty to AC and a +2 bonus on the attack roll), you can assign any portion of the attack roll penalty from Power Attack to your Armor Class instead, up to a maximum equal to your base attack bonus.Special: A fighter may select Shock Trooper as one of his fighter bonus feats.[/sblock]These two feats will be mentioned a lot in guides. You can see why. <a href="http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127026" target="_blank">Check this thread as well.</a></blockquote>
