I am playing a Cad currently and I'm enjoying it more than any character I've ever played but I am a bit unsure of how I'm going to progress further. Here are my stats:
Safir of the Scarlet Tides, Human Cad level 9
Str 20
Dex 20
Con 20
Int 14
Wis 11
Cha 10
Skills
Acrobatics, Stealth, Bluff, Intimidate all maxed out. Dabbles in all Knowledge skills because that's awesome.
Feats
Splintering Weapon (Awesome with improvised weapons!)
Weapon focus, Greater weapon focus and weapon spec with Nodachi
Improved and Greater Dirty trick
Power attack
Dazzling Display
Shatter Defenses
Critical Focus
Catch Off-guard
Combat expertise
I'm currently using a +1 Keen Nodachi so I'm threatening on a roll of 15 or higher. The High stats are due to having come across a Belt of physical perfection +4
I have been thinking of which feats I should get but can't quite make up my mind. Deadly stroke and Greater Weapon Specialization are both given, but I'm not sure if I should go for Critical feats next or get Quick Dirty Trick now.
There is also a feat that I'm unsure if I should get or not: Impaling Critical. It sounds awesome, but I'm not sure if it's really any good for my DPS build. I crit a lot after all and as it is an immediate action to pull your weapon out I could get stuck with it and still have attacks left that I can't do because my weapon is stuck!
Is it worth it if I also get Improved Impaling critical later?
Which other feats would you recommend for a Crit-loving pirate?
Thanks in advance all! :)

Combat reflexes (mobility and combat patrol) for using extra AoO's for dirty tricks and crits and disarms, disarming strike for free disarm attempts when you crit, iron will, and lightning reflexes.
A Cad is a fighter archtype. This is a Cad

Thanks. I didn't realize it was an Archetype.

Yes I have been considering taking Disarming strike for a while now, I was just unsure if I should go for it after I got Impaling critical or before.
Combat patrol was a feat that I've never seen before but it looks awesome. I'm the mobile fighter in the group though so I'll recommend it to the tank. Thanks! :)
Has anyone got thoughts on Impaling critical? :)
