So, just became a Mythic Guardian with My Level 3 Paladin

[Magpied]

Homebrew race that gets free power attack and bastard sword proficiency.

I don't have the stats on me right now, but from what I remember, I have a 18 str, 14 dex, and 15 cha.

My feat plan was

Race: Power Attack
1: Weapon Focus (Bastard Sword)
3: Intimidating Prowess
5: Furious Focus
7: Cornugon Smash
9: Dazzling Display
11: Shatter Defenses.

However, since I got to Mythic Tier, I saw the path ability, "Retributive Reach," which increases your reach by 5' feet for the purpose of opportunity attacks. Factor in that in my party we have a wizard and a cleric (both who buff) and the option of wielding a bardiche could be totally freaking awesome.

Now, my issues comes from, how should I fit COMBAT REFLEXES into my feats?

Feat retraining takes 5 days of focus I believe.

Retrain Weapon focus for combat reflexes.

At lvl 9, Extra Lay on Hands if you have the Oath of Vengeance archetype, otherwise Greater mercy.

Dreadful Carnage at lvl 11.

If I don't have weapon focus, I can't use dazzling display/shatter defenses.

I know, this is why I gave you options to exchange them.

Dreadful Carnage is more effective than dazzling displat anyway, and you are not going to significantly benefit from shatter defences.

From a mythic perspective you might look at Ever Ready as well as Combat Reflexes, also look at Cage Enemy, which combines quite nicely with the Retributive Reach. Have your wizard Enlarge Person (assuming you eligible for it) and go to town.

Drive Back is another Mythic ability that works with the above ability chain.

Retributive Reach and Cage enemy to lock the enemy in place as an AOO.
Drive Back to bull rush them and due to the Cage enemy, invokes another AO0.

Ever Ready and Retributive reach should stack, but check with your GM to make sure. Mythic Paragon is just icing on the cake for those abilities.

you absolutely dont need intimidating prowess, you should have a high enough cha and class skill for the build to still function.

just fyi shatter defenses, for a solid paladin, isnt a very good option. if you want to be a good demoralizer then you should grab corungon smash, and forget dazzling display + shatter defenses.
