Make sure you have a decent Dexterity to get as many AoO's with Combat Reflexes as possibly (also remember that Combat Reflexes allows you to make an AoO when flatfooted). If you're DM allows the Knockdown feat (when you deal 10 or more points of damage with a single melee attack, you get a free trip attack) just make a regular attack with the AoO's, with Weapon Specialization and Greater Weapon Specialization, and the fact that the spiked chain is two handed and does 2 dice of damage, you usually, if not always get the free trip attack.Go for whirlwind attack, and if you ever hit epic, take improved whirlwind attack, you can attack foes in every square you threaten instead of just adjacent ones.</blockquote>
