[QUOTE="ValhallaGH, post: 4390785, member: 41187"] Well, it depends upon what you want said Dwarf to do. It's increasing apparent from your posts in this thread that you want him to be a damage machine instead of really tough, or commanding. In that case a Two-Weapon Fighting ranger is probably the best way to go. Make sure to pick some powers that work with both Melee and Ranged attacks. The Heavy Weapon property will only come up on Basic ranged attacks but that's okay. Throwing hammers are not meant for sniping, or other long range engagement, but as a quick and dirty surprise to the guy that thought he was safely across the pit of death. You'll end up with a pretty good Dexterity simply because Dex is important to all Rangers. So your ranged powers will be useful, if not as good as your melee attacks. If you want a tough Dwarf with two hammers then the Warhammer / Throwing hammer Fighter or Paladin is a great option. Most of your powers are melee, but you can still make basic attacks with your throwing hammers, leaving foes hurt and squealing. If you want a leadery Dwarf then a Warlord with two Throwing Hammers or a Warhammer / Throwing hammer combination is also a lot of fun and can be very effective. Ultimately, it comes down to what type of character you want to play. Two throwing hammers / axes is just a weapon choice, not much of a fighting style or much of a character concept. For real build advice, you'll need to have a bit more developed. [/QUOTE]
