Hi
As the title says, I am looking for a current THF fighter build. I took a 3 year break and am looking to pick up some fighter PLs on my old main character.
She has 3 Ranger PLs, 3 Elf PLs and 6 Epic PLs. +8 Supreme Tomes. Lots of ranged gear. Some melee gear, can craft or farm what I need as I go through my fighter lives.
I play solo with healing hires. With my Ranger I was playing R1 in low levels and then Elite from mid levels on. In Epics I play on Hard. I have about 25 Reaper points and would love to pick up a few more each Fighter life. I also want to pick up some more racial PLs with this build - I guess Str, Dex, Con or Wis?
I hope to also pick up some Paladin, Monk and Barb lives after this.
I appreciate and help or suggestions. I cant seem to find the old build threads and don't know if they are outdated anyway. So yeah... Thanks
PDIW

I ran this build as a first lifer back in Update 53 using a greatsword or falchion.

Neutral <Any Race> Fighter 20
18 STR
08 DEX
18 CON
08 INT
14 WIS
08 CHA

01 Two Handed Fighting, F: Power Attack
02 F: Stunning Blow
03 Weapon Focus: Bludgeon
04 +1 STR, F: Weapon Focus: Slashing
05
06 Improved Two Handed Fighting, F: Weapon Specialization: Slashing
07
08 +1 STR, F: Improved Critical: Slashing
09 Power Critical
10 F: Greater Weapon Focus: Slashing
11
12 +1 STR, Greater Two Handed Fighting, F: Dodge
13
14 F: Mobility
15 Greater Weapon Specialization: Slashing
16 +1 STR, F: Spring Attack
17
18 Toughness, F: Tactical Supremacy
19
20 +1 STR, F: Tactical Master
21 Overwhelming Critical
22 Perfect Two Handed Fighting
24 +1 STR, Epic Toughness
25 Crush Weakness
27 Tactical Combatant
28 +1 STR, Harbinger of Chaos
30 Scion of Arborea, Tactical Training

The feat order is to maximize tactical DCs at level cap. You probably want to shift some of those around so you get them in earlier levels (shifting WF: Bludgeon elsewhere since it was filler for Completionist).

Enhancement split:
43 Kensei
26 Falconry (for WIS trance)
11 Vistani Knife Fighter (3 cores, Haste Boost)

Vistani you can unlock from favor just by running Ravenloft. If you don't own Ravenloft, it is still only 99 points in the DDO store.
Since you're only doing past lives, 20 levels of Fighter aren't needed since you aren't going to spend time at level cap. You could easily splash 1 Cleric for insightful trance damage if you don't have Falconry unlocked.

Second Wind is excellent self-healing.

Not sure how you have dodge and mobility in there on a first life build. Your dex isn't high enough to take either without a +5 dex book.

Yep, nice catch. I must have had a tome laying around. It's been about two years since I ran this, so details are a bit fuzzy.
