I'm looking to build a melee dps / controller that uses a polearm in one hand and a shield in the other as his weapons.

I was thinking Phalanx Soldier / Infiltraitor, taking the shield feats for free bullrushing and two weapon fighting. Then using enlarge person so that he'd have a reach of 20 feat around him, using his shield to push back anyone close.

The leveling progression would go 3 Fighter, 10 Ranger, 10 Fighter. using the combat styles to pick up the full TWF tree without having 19 DEX, and taking the Dragon favored enemy to use the lunge adaptation (25' threat square yo)

I keep coming across a few issues:

I want to use a heavy shield (3d6+Str+Free Bullrush), but the -4/-4 until level 11 (which shrinks to 0/-4) is really hefty for that

I get the multiple offhand attacks really late (Level 9 and 13 vs 6 and 11)

I am unsure of what other feats to fill outside of the TWF, Shield, and Power attack line.

btw the other weapon would be the Lucerne Hammer, 3d6 when made large
