But not for ITWD and I can't see the point of going just for the lower form. There are better ways to increase AC.

TWD/ITWD is +2 AC... With 6 Ranger levels taking Protective Ward and TWD is +2 AC...what's the difference?

But LoH and Protective Ward is better still. I'd go for all 4 myself.

But in the context of this build he can't afford them... I was specifically commenting on the fact that his build does not have Protective Ward, so subbing it in for GTWD ends up with the same AC while saving the points spent on DEX.

He could wield different weapons and save a feat with OTWF.

Expose Weakness is another good reason for keeping that Dex number up.
