[QUOTE="Jayzan, post: 6498990, member: 6789155"] I'm getting back into D&D 4e recently and I've been working on a swordmage build that goes through heroic. Past heroic I'm unsure at the moment but I've started working my build up there. My main concern is, are there any feats/powers in my build so far that I should change in order to better optimize my character? If anyone could overlook it and see what I should change I'd be grateful. Class: Swordmage Race: Eldarin Aegis: Aegis of Shielding Paragon: Coronal Guard (possibly) Ability Scores (post racial): 12 STR, 15 CON, 12 DEX, 18 INT, 8 WIS, 14 CHA (using 14 CHA to qualify for superior will at lv 11) Feats: 1- Intelligent Blademaster 2- White Lotus Dueling Expertise 4- Eldarin Swordmage Advance 6- Superior Fortitude 8- Superior Reflexes 10- Iron Will (Retrain for Superior Will at lv 11) 11- Greater Swordmage Warding 12- Double Aegis (Retrain for Total Aegis at lv 21) 14- Greater Aegis of Shielding 16- White Lotus Hindrance (Retrain for WLMH at lv 18) Powers: 1W- Sword Burst 1W- Booming Blade 1E- Sword of Sigils 1D- Dimensional Thunder 2U- Dimensional Warp 3E- Dimensional Vortex 5D- Shielding Fire 6U- Armathor's Step [/QUOTE]
