That's good advice, thank you. Never really thought in terms of RP longevity, but I suppose that's what keeps you playing past 30. Since it doesn't impact earlier choices I'll have a while to decide that. As for changing up the TWD and ITWD - I see your reasoning and the extra AC and dmg is appealing. I kind of like the simplicity of the flat +2 bonus over switching modes and such. Hm, I'll think about it.

I just saw this. :P Just because you haven't seen anyone doing this doesn't mean they're not.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but a quick question for those that helped me previously: is Blindfight particularly necessary for this build? Would it be worth dropping improved two-weapon defense for it? Thanks.

Blindfight is certainly not necessary for PvE, though it is helpful if you can fit it in. For PvP it is almost always essential to have a shot against most players since anyone can apply displacement via wand or cloak, if not spell.

This is what I was thinking, as I am likely to get into PvP with this char eventually, though I know it's probably not well built for that. Also an SD without blindifght just seems kind of wonky to me for some reason.
