SWF feat chain vs THF chain

[Khurse]

Hey all
Stupid question, but I can't remember teh answer..
Friend is building a SWF Barb (probably pure) might not be ideal but it's what she wants.
But- is it better to go SWF chain then take THF Specialty? Or THF chain then SWF Specialty?

I know there's a "best" way to do it, but been so long can't remember which way to go..
Thanks!
(Or just let us know it doesn't matter)

Yes, because Perfect SWF and Offhand Versatility require SWF feat; but Perfect THF does not require THF feat.

Thanks!
Also-forgot about Perfect THF , was thinking just needed Two Handed Specialty, so thanks again

So they need to have SWF, ISWF, GSWF, PSWF, OV, PA, IC(S), PTHF, Two Handed Specialty, OC, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Bastard Sword Prof, Knight's Training Patience and the 34 HP feat. Seems like a lot but I guess it works.

PTHF won't boost your damage modifier with single-wielded hand-and-a-half weapons, only your Strikethrough. So it's optional and can be skipped if you think e.g. Epic Doublestrike is more useful. Whereas PSWF gives both +0.25x damage modifier and Vorpal threat range increased to 19-20. So of the two, I consider PSWF more vital.
