My sweet two whip wielding fighter (PEACH)

[King Nate]

I'm beginning to think that the Knockdown Assault is too powerful. With this build I can almost every time knockdown my opponent and slide him one square. What I like to do is to slide my rogue a prone opponent so he can take the sneak attack then he shifts 1 square away, allowing me to do it again. This leave the target unable to attack either one of us (unless he has reach) while we continue to knock prone, slide, sneak attack, and shift our way to victory. Also in the future I plan on taking the Agile Superiority Feat from Dragon Magazine 378.

You are gimping your damage to set opponents up for your friend. While it seems like you are something of a one-trick-pony, as long as you are having fun I see nothing wrong with this. Later, when the damage dice is overshadowed by static damage modifiers this might seem very cheezy, but so do many tempest builds.

As a defender, keeping enemies on the ground where they are less likely to be able to harm your companions is a good thing. Damage is good but keeping foes from scoring damage can be better.

Which is exactly my plan. My job is to defend, not deal damage. Also to point out the Knockdown Assault is just a flat 4 damage without any damage modifiers added to it. So it can’t get too cheesy. For the record, I can still pull the same trick off without being a tempest fighter, but I wouldn’t have two sweet whips.

Exactly!

Wait, 4e encourages twinking to help other party members? Sweet.

What exactly does PEACH mean? I've seen it used but haven't figure that one out yet.

 

[Tai]

Please Examine And Critique Honestly. I had to look it up when I first saw it, too ^^;;

Just don't try to fight werewolves with this.

Two-whip style never works with them.

(Sorry, couldn't help the Underworld reference)

Actually I shouldn't try to fight Dwarves with this style.

Holy crap, someone posting a tempest build that isn't 'Look at me doing huge damage RAWRAWRAWR'.

A controlling tempest build.

Sweet. Do encourage moar.
