Dwarf Dragon Apostate (SWF warhammers)

For the dwarf take, I wanted to try something different and also be more F2P first-life friendly. It shouldn't just be the whales who pre-order Terror of Demogorgon who get to have fun with Update 80's new options. ;) So I went the SWF warhammer (Onatar) route with Strength domain instead of War, since we're getting +1 critical range from dwarf tree and +2 critical multiplier from Dragonlord again, making Holy Sword unnecessary. And this time I went Dark Apostate for Apostate's Curse line and the no-save debuff abilities; I think Pray for Mercy's damage will proc Arcane Warrior stacks but I don't have an epic Dark Apostate I can use to confirm. Consider this a lowbie alternative to SWF Vistani builds.

Nightforge Hammer is a weapon that anyone can farm at level 9 (minimum level to enter the quest); and is the only warhammer with x4 critical multiplier. That becomes 16-20/x4 once you have all three critical range bonuses and 16-20/x6 with Dragonlord's Conqueror. So that'd be my pick for mid-heroics, especially for F2Pers. Again, you'll want a drow warhammer for epics if you can farm / buy one.

EDIT: Fatesinger and Shadowdancer are also good secondary trees for SWF builds.

I don't understand something about this build. You have it as a SWF using War Hammers, and you have the Diety as Favored by Silvanus which has the favored weapon as Mauls which are two handed weapons. This being the case how are the Dark Apostate: Apostate's Curse progression helping with War Hammers since it seems to only apply to the favored weapon? Is there someplace I am missing that War Hammers are also favored weapons for this build?

Never mind the reply, I found my mistake in the build It's regular dwarf not Duergar. Guess I need to do some feat swaps now.

One I'm levelling at the moment is mindsunder 15 druid 5 dragonlord (so requires a LR heart), using dire bear form, about 20APs in the racial tree to get the full embiggen & weapon lines including the ranged aoe sunder, then use heavy pick & shield (while levelling have taken knight's training for warhammers then will switch out for IC piercing at 34+, it's proving fun so far being an oversized bear

Edit: Ok, warhammers are all well and good during heroics at least but the new Oblivium Mattock from terror of demogorgon is amazing when you're in bear form or using the axe throw to let you get AoE paralysing.

Is there any good Pala Tank Build? Was thinking about using Dwarven Waraxe and start with follower of Helm so I can switch later.
