Critique my Slayer (Vanguard)


Advice


Here's a Slayer build I've been working on, originally it was a TWF but then I thought why not just go the good old 2H route. Now I am unsure if this is the best/good to go way since the dazzling display route was meant originally for taking advantage of SA.
The other idea I had was to use the switch hitter ranger as base but convert it into a Slayer.

Slayer Vanguard Level 8

25 point buy:

Str:16+2
Dex:14
Con:14
Int:12
Wis:14
Cha:8

Feats and talents:
1: Power attack and Extra talent: Weapon training
2: TW: Outflank
3: Combat Reflexes
4: -
5: Dazzling Display
6: Talent: Bleeding attack
7: Shatter Defenses or Violent Display
8: Talent: Combat Trick: Shatter Defenses or Violent Display

Weapon: +2 Cruel Bardiche
Armor: Mithril Breastplate
Items: +4 str belt

Attack: +19/+14 (8bab + 6str + 2ench + 2study + 1wfoc)
Damage: 1d10+13 or 1d10+21 with power attack (9str+2ench+2study+9pwr)

Idea is to demoralize and then make them sickened for a combined -4 to attack's when I hit with the weapon and work together with an other melee character to get sneak attack's.
Would love to have a Fauchard but I think the feat investment is too high of a price to pay.

Any critique,suggestions or mistakes on my part?


Shameless bump.


What are you AC and saves? It seems like a strong melee build, should have a decent spread of skills. What is the rest of the party like, melee heavy? casty? This build would go nicely alongside a conjurer, someone to give you insta-flanking buddies.

First note we do not follow wealth by lvl etc and play a custom campaign where we can be immensly rich if we try. My equipment cost is about 60k.

AC: 26 ( ring and amulet +2, dex +2, +2 breastplate)
Saves: 10,10,6 (+2 cloak

My party consists of melee support cleric, CC sorcerer and ranged bard atm.
But might be inquisitor or a dedicated melee char instead of cleric by the time this char comesinto play.

Any advice?
