If encounter is anticipated can get Magic Weapon up before. Otherwise first turn is casting and getting into position. Might also have to draw weapon. These are fairly normal concerns for Barbarians and Rangers although I need 2 actions compared to their one. If weapon is drawn and we decide to hold a defensive position can put Protective Ward up to give us all +1 to AC. Action to maintain, but can cover the whole party eventually.Poor Fortitude Defense will be murder in melee though.This build will hold up better in cases of traditional melee weakness like having to switch to ranged attacks.

Still same AC as Giant Instinct Barbarian and only 2 damage behind.</blockquote>
