Hello!

Can I get some help optimizing this?

It's designed as a TWF Shield Bash Dazzling Spam build. Theoretically one of its seven attacks will kill off the opponent and trigger the Dazzling from dreadful carnage while stacking free trips from the shield bash and capitalizing on free AoOs as well.

I've been using it on normal, but I'm curious about how people think it will do on harder difficulties, and ways to optimize it for that. Fire Kinetic Knight was chosen for Kinetic Warrior (which is a free combat expertise) as well as Dazzling/Dreadful Carnage, which can both be taken without taking their prerequisites (no power attack or weapon focus necessary). Slayer was chosen for Sneak Attack Dice and Slayer Talents as well as the bonus to Trip for large creatures. Drill Sergeant was chosen for the ability to give the combat feats (particularly Tandem Trip) to the other frontline melee folks. Shield Brace was just because I like the polearms + Shield and if you can find a spot for Exotic Prof for Fauchard, then more power to ya, lol.

I use Call of the Wild, Derring-Do, ClawMod, Favored Class, Races Unleashed, and Proper Flanking Mods
