Hello.
Iv been playing pathfinder for a couple of months, but have been plowing the books to learn new thing.
I found Threatmonks guide for a switch hitter as a great inspiration, and have used that to great succsess. Currently Im level 2 going on 3. next sesion.
I am unsure doh what feats I should choose the next levels. The guide is great but doessent say mutch about melee feats and also im thinking there might be other options.
Hoping someone can guide me.
I have to add since there is no fighter/pally in the party, im, the main "meat shield" and are using a 2 handed greatsword for most of the encounters, and normaly gets 90%-10% between ny sword bow. This wil change some doh since we have been in a dark dungeon with limited time to use the bow before attacks.
I started on level 1 with human, and took Power attack and quick draw. I could have chosen cleave insted of quick draw, but was unsure about cleave so I waited.
Now on 3. level I can choose again, and I feel there are a few good choises, but there might be more so feel free to shout out.
As I see:
Cleave - Great damage dealer
Shield of swings - Great AC when push comes to shove. But is it more worths a feat than fight defensivly?
Furious focus - Great feat, but not that mutch more to hit(+1 on level 1-3 and +2 on level 4-8)
Combat expertice - Wel its handy but costly if im not goind for trip/grapple.
In addition to these iv started looking forward. Since I on level 4 get a animal companion iv been looking at teamwork feats and found a couple that interests me.
Mostly the Precise strike that gives both me and the animal a +1d6. Thats pretty big for the animal companion, and a good deal for me aswel, and could outperform the cleave in damage... Specialy since im going for a small cat which have 3 attacks, and therefore +3d6 each round+ mine 1d6.
Also the Back to back looks good, where you get +2AC for teaming up defensivly.
So Id love som feadback on the above.
What iv been thinking about is something like this, and feel free to add your ideas:
Level 3.
I could take Cleave... But im wondering about taking the Precise strike, so that when I get to level 4 I can add that to the animal companion. Offcource thats a long wait...
On level 5 and 7 Im split between deadly aim as the guide says, but taking Boon companion is also a good choice. Offcource boon companion wil be better at level 7, but then I have to live that far :)
SO maybe:
3. Cleave (or shield of swings)
5. Precise strike
7. Boon companion
9. Deadly aim
Also is there anyway an animal can get more armour without taking the armour feats? Im guessing they can use an colar/amulet of armour, but real armour?
