You don't have to have sneak attack or energy weapons to do good damage while dual wielding.One thing often ignored in these discussions are crits. If you have a good crit range combined with your str, magic and power attack, you'll do impressive damage once you hit higher levels.Unfortunately, one of the things required for maximizing your TWF is two good magical weapons (or GMW x2), and I think your problem in that area has been well documented. You're also going to take a hit because you're not using two identical weapons. However, the shield bash combo can also be really effective from a survivability standpoint so you're doing fine.Make sure you take power attack. At higher levels, go for Imp Crit, ITWF and Greater Two Weapon if it's allowed. I would keep working on your shield with feats and abandon the Handaxe. They do the same damage and the AC bump is really nice. When you hit higher levels, use the shield as primary, but when you need to deal a buttload of damage, break out a second Dwarven War Axe. You'll have to be careful on when to do this however, since you'll be taking larger penalties.Your DM allowing Imp Rapid was a big mistake. To balance things out again, that imp ambi feat sounds good. Be advised though that you're both going far off the "balance" track with those feats.</blockquote>
