CC question: Fighter v WM

[stonewarrior]

Hi, I am in the process of making a new character that will either go 32 F / 7 WM / 1 R or 28 WM / 10 F / 2 R. The base race is human and the subrace Kolyarut.

I am currently at level 8 (5F / 3 WM) so I am still have some time to decide which way to go. I guess the question I have is whether or not the extra WM levels (and likely taking two Weapon Focus's) are better than the stat boosts and crazy number of feats you get going with F as the CC. In the past I have only taken 7 levels of WM so I am not very familiar with the strengths of the class.

Either way I am looking for an up front damage dealer that will have a chance to disarm / knockdown creatures.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Peace, John.

WM is your only choice if you want to be able to disarm/KD, as disciplines were scaled with WMs in mind. Because of the number of epic bonus feats you can get with WM it's a good idea to get a 2nd weapon focus and weapon of choice, as it will only cost you 2 pre-epic feats and 2 epic toughness feats from WM epic bonus feats.

Funky - I am not sure how I managed to post this in this forum...I meant to do it in the build discussion. If you could move it I would appreciate it.

Peace, John.

Also this is in the wrong section, prepare to have it moved when Funky sees it.

Thanks...I kind of thought that was the case (having seen Asa Shigure disarm a Pit Fiend) but was not certain.
