So, I would guess that pretty much every tempest is going to invest in either:Double swordDouble axeor Urgroshproficiency.Double flail is also a possibility, but since it requires 19 dex for weapon mastery, and looks even sillier than the other double weapons--and the flail feats are rather weak--my guess is that it won't see much play.Double sword and Urgrosh also open up Rain of Blows to the tempest so I would expect them to be the top choices.  I'd take any fighter for my taclord. Just finished a mod with an inspiring warlord and a pair of swordmages for partners. My basic attack was comparable to all of theirs--even if I spotted them the +4 damage from Commander's Strike. Even a nice 18 strength bastard sword and shield fighter would have been welcome. (The Inspiring Warlord would have been a decent pick if he'd been higher level and had a better magic weapon--my character having a +2 greatspear and Eladrin Soldier and no-one else having any damage-enhancing feats or a +2 weapon made a big difference).</blockquote>
