I have a bunch of sweet longswords stashed away and it's been a hot minute since I played a TWF build, so I'm thinking of templates for grinding out some heroic lives so I can get some mileage out of my gear. I don't particularly enjoy gear farming before TRing, so using the same gear across multiple lives makes my experience much better.
Some caveats: I tend to do the vast majority of my playing solo. I don't do much Reaper when I'm leveling unless I'm with a group, though I'd like to grind out some RP at cap. I know TWF is painful as a solo player, but I'm not too concerned with what's optimal. I just don't want to be a total liability in the event that I group up.
Right off the bat I'm thinking of a PDK 8/6/6 split, where I'll do 6 levels as Ranger for the TWF line, and another 6 as a Kensei fighter for the 3rd core. 6 Ftr would also allow me the feats to take the bulk of what I need for melee combat (WWA/Spring Attack, Precision, Knight's Training, Improved Crit, GTWF) by level 12. Remaining feats could go into tactics or potentially into metamagics if I'm doing 8 levels of a class with heals/buffs. Maybe throw in WSS for some centered fun for monk lives.
I'm also thinking of the same split, but going T5 Dragon Lord instead of T5 Tempest. This would give me Dragon's Roar (obviously) for some CC, as well as crit bonuses. Losing the AoE from DoD would suck, but perhaps the combo of WWA and Dragon's Roar would be good enough to make up for it. I'd also have the option of switching into T5 Ravager if I need the extra survivability.
Curious what other options might be out there.
