Good stats for a fighter.

Probably not? Fighters are first and foremost tanks.. if you want a melee dps, you oughta go with barbarian or rogue.

Not that it won't work.. it probably will, but i doubt that it's an ideal build

It's actually pretty solid.
But given you high maight, you intend to go for dps. That means you need more Dex. Otherwise your fighter will be incredibly slow. Especially with armor on. Lower Perception a bit, and maybe, 1-2 resolve and put them in Dex.

I just don't see why you'd want to build a fighter, when a barbarian has better traits for dps, especially with their native aoe spread for every normal hit.

Because he wants to. o.O

As if the game is hard enough to need min-maxing!

Well I'm not about to stop anyone from building their char, lord knows i got some weird combos going already. But making a wizard do melee, or a priest be a tank, that's kind of unique in it's own right.. you take a set of very specific class abilities and use them to make something that does not exist in the game by default.

But making a dps fighter seems a little odd, given that they work exactly the same way as barbarians.. you're just making a barbarian with worse traits.

I never pick barbarians I have this tick in my brain that says barbarian=light armor and I hate light armor panzies. If I could in DnD even the mages would be in heavy battlemage armor.

Its ok. Though fighter is a lot more of a tank than a dmg dealer. And race doesnt matter unless you want to go above the stat cap.

Barbarians in this game start with scale armor (though now that I think about it, it probably depends on the background you choose. Mine started with Scale).

Barbarians are also awesome! You can play another class as your main, but why would you want to? BARBARIAN! ;)

Like OP though, I made a fighter to accompany my barbarian.

A tanky dps is better than a dps that is short lived.

Sure the way you say it they do sound awesome but then again FIGHTER! just as a ring to it sounds like honorable warrior who fights to the last.

Fighter can be a solid dps. They have excellent base stats. Sure a barb is better, but he also require more micro management then a warrior. If you dont micro your barb properly the warrior dps will close in on him fast.

Go this build then, there is nothing inherently wrong with it.

Not sure why all the rage on making a fighter a dps here, sure it wont be as high as barb but it does have a ton of knockback and the like its pretty good.
