Hi,
I have a Ninja/Druid/Daggerspell Shaper build. It has 17th level casting at CL 20 (thanks to Practiced Spellcaster.) I now need to take it into epic. (Actual build: Ninja 2/Druid 8/DsS 8/Div O 2)
I have one level left on Practiced Spellcaster and I have Able Learner, so there's a lot of flexibility with regard to what classes are options. Ideally I'd like something that plays to the strengths of epic levels. My feat will most likely be Epic Spellcasting, to take advantage of maxed Know (religion) and Know (nature).
I originally planned the build using Warshaper at 21st, which grants immunity to critical hits and stunning (and sneak attack) while wildshaped. However, in the meantime I got Bo9S (this campaign was on hiatus for a year or so) and I am wondering if a Swordsage level would be better for the 6th level Diamond Mind maneuvers which can be a boost to saves (important in epic.)
My overall analysis is that Warshaper offers a useful immunity but Swordsage opens up a great many options. Is this analysis accurate, and which would you pick? I would also like to hear about other classes that might be a good fit, if you know of any.
