Version Two is located below, just a few posts down.
On the photo:
x2 Demigod + Strength artifact
+14 to everything except INT (+10 off boots)
The battle log shows Dual BSwords, then Dire Mace, Then Sword + Shield. This is with the full +20 Weapon Enhancement granted by Divine Wrath.
Note: I played a worse version of this build from x1 all the way to x3 demi. It only had 26 CoT and 10 Fighter, with almost the same feat/stat spread, so I am fully confident this build is playable even as an immortal, because it has higher soak than the one I played originally.
A Note on Over/Dev Crit selection:
I chose to take OC/DC in BSwords because in Hells, you're generally smacking down non-crittables such as PFs, Males, bosses, Orthons, Osyluths and whatnot. Places like Aboleths and Elysium (where slash damage is better than bludgeon) there are a lot more crittable mobs to attack, so I opted for much higher damage output in those areas, with what I feel is a minimal decrease in Hells damage output.
You can always drop two Great Smite feats to get OC/DC in both weapons, and lose 1AB (easier after demi, double demi) and 40 seconds longer cooldown on Nimbus of Victory. It's really your choice.
