I haven't actually ran one yet, but paladin gets a lot of AoE ranged attacks, and if you do at least two levels of ranger you can also get the Inferno Shot AoE attack from arcane archer and a lot of feats you wouldn't otherwise get very early.

Yeah, shifters and wildhunt shifters are great choices for any kind of animal form build. I did half-orc for the past life, but they're great for any melee, especially ones that use a two hander like this one does

this isn't a bad idea at all, but the points might be really tight. I wouldn't mind t5 in bear but there are still certain things you definitely want from the wolf tree (fatal harrier, but then if you go that far you might as well pick up the extra melee power and knock-down immunity), and the...

Yeah, I thought about it, but haven't played one yet. I can't imagine they get more DPS than a normal druid would on winter wolf, slower overall attack speed in addition to needing to main-stat wisdom and build heavily for spell DCs if you want your attack effects to work makes them far inferior...

I think samurai are cool as much as the next guy, but it seems like a pretty uncreative archetype to implement on its own. Most classes / trees can be interpreted into a variety of playstyles, backstories, roles, etc. If you really want a samurai, you could just run a heavy armor kensei fighter...

yeah you could stack it with the dance of death. It would only proc on the first hit, and there might be stronger attacks for you to use. Look specifically for ones that have + crit multiplier and high +% damage, but of course play around with it

activated first, then the next attack applies. I recommend applying it to your next-strongest attack, if you're two-handed fighting the go-to is to use adrenaline and then Boulder's Might for big numbers, but other melee types have other options.

Mech lives in a bunker under a mountain, where he spends all day slapping on epic elite Suulomades. Btw, great write-up Mech

Snowslide? No, it doesn't stack with sprint boost, but I believe it's a 15 second cooldown attack that is basically a spring-attack like leap that gives you the sprint boost speed for 10 seconds, so you have the speed more consistently than you would with sprint boost.

I am very pro-wolf Purr but you should just try it out one life and see which you prefer. Both styles are fun and great in heroics

I'm glad you found me helpful. You also get the feat Knight's Training free in KOTC. Of course don't get rid of your current boss-beating bastard sword, but you do have 4 cleaves at your disposal, so it might not be a problem. Hope those golden age weapons drop faster for you :)

Wouldn't a longsword be a better swap for boss/single target dps than a bastard sword? Other than that, this seems like a really well done take on vanguard. I haven't played one in a couple of years but I used to prefer fighter vanguard over the paladin version because it had better DPS, even...

glad you found it useful :D

The synergy between Dragonlord and animal forms isn't actually too great, I would recommend barb over it hands down. A lot of the melee power you get in animal form (21 points) is locked behind using barb or animal rage, which you get so many bonuses for in the Nature's protector tree. If you...

Yeah, your melee power is low. On my melee lives, I typically aim to have 300+ melee power, having only 196 means that you're basically running at 75% of what I consider typical. I can't tell you why yours is so low because I don't know exactly what you're running, but keep in mind that you can...

this late into the leveling process, just take shield specialty at 31 and use an orb or something through epics

A buckler wont affect your dodge cap, your armor will. You have to be in light armor to swash-buckle anyway (and it seems like you are, so no big deal here). If you're using a buckler or orb, don't worry about offhand versatility: the one imbue die is negligent and not the focus of your build...

yeah if you're doing 3 bard for swashbuckling, you need to use light weapons like handaxes, rapiers, if you're elf then scimitars, etc. The eligible weapons are in the description of the lvl 3 core in swashbuckling. The barb and fighter are redundant in this build, fighter is only getting you...

what were your first three feats? Dodge, mobility, whirlwind? If you take fighter for six you can (i think) take both swf and improved. swf, those will mean more for you because you can kill things faster. If not, do swf and spring attack at 6, imp. swf at 8 (assuming you do only fighter levels...

yeah spring attack is awesome. if pure fighter, you could have both feats by level four.
