Heya, I'm playing a 11 Fighter / 28 WM / 1 Bard in a +5 Enviroment server. See, the problem is, he uses a Katana, which I need to have and Dev Crit is a problem on the server...I'm going to be adding to the problem by getting it myself

Anyway, since I took Exotic, I miss out on a feat, and only have 2 Feat options left pre epic.

-Great Fort (To save against Dev),
-Toughness (40 hp),
-IE (+10 AC for fighting those high AB nasties),
-Blindfight (To fend off those dexers. TS can't be obtained -from items, but I'll probably have a caster with me.),
-Or Knockdown (For pushing mages in the mud.)?

Which two should I get?

Definitely Blind-Fight. Also, Blind-Fight and TS don't really have anything in common. KD, Toughness, Great Fort, PA and Expertise all seem like strong choices for the second feat.

As everyone on here will tell you, Blind Fight is a must for just about every melee character. I would rank the rest like this:

1. Improved Expertise or Knockdown
2. Toughness
3. Great Fort I suppose I can live without knock down if I'm going to be deving things. Blind Fight.

The next one depends on your server. 40 HP is nice, but if Dev Crit is everywhere, then it's not going to save your bacon.

I'd go with Great Fortitude. It protects from Dev Crit, AND Implode. Having lots of Fort is a life saver imho.

I'm surprised you didn't include SF Discipline in the list. Yeah, I agree with the Great For thing...But, Imp Expertise might be a lifesaver too i'd go with blind fight and improved expertise.
oh well but i take improved expertise with any melee build, so it might be just me.

I'd also drop 1 fighter level for 1 more Bard - gives you a second skill dump, unless it is a server where you start at level 40.

TM I'd rather have Epic Weapon Specialization than another skill dump Take Bard at level 17 or 18 for an early Tumble/UMD dump. Costs 1 final AB, but he's got plenty to spare. From 17 until the second Bard level it evens out since he can use the Bard Song to get +1 AB and +1 damage as well, not to mention the +4 AC and use of scroll, wands, etc. Will be much more playable from 17-37 that way.

Unless you are starting at level 40, of course.
