Well, as I see it, a pure caster has to beat saves and, as such, solve the encounters. So what an EK is going to do: try to replace AT (Octavia) while keeping the damage potential of AT? Is it possible?
One of my favorite things about EK (well, I have not actually played it yet, I am playing a Sword Saint right now), is that it allows for a lot of different ideas and experimentation.EK lets you have your cake and eat it too.
I indeed considered not taking the Aldori Defender lvl. I was not very happy with having to delay some useful feats, and that's why I ended up with the build above. The added possibility of using Dueling Swords kinda sealed the deal for me.I think you're better off just biting the bullet and burning the feat instead of splashing Fighter.

Seriously, respec an old save and try the double Swords. I don't think you'll like it and you really don't have the feats to blow for two-weapon. Just go Elven Curve Blade or STR-based two-hander Human reach.
In Pink Eye monk videos (which, I hope, still are on youtube) 2 tanks are enough to keep the backline safe in most of the ancounters at least in Chapter 1. He used Valerie and multiclassed Linzi. On Unfair. So... may be add more damage or CC instead of more protection?The group is going to be Jaethal(TSS tank), Okbo(tank), Reggie/NokNok (off tank), Harrim (priest/off-tank), Jubilost in the role of Jubilost, Ekun (archer), EK (wizard/off-tank).
Doesn't the Aldori prestige class give you feats related to Dueling swords for free? I forget exactly what it does because I never take it.
Sounds like what you'd really enjoy is ES. I had a ball with my MC ES.
You're mixing up tank and melee, you've already got enough melee with the pet (and maybe too much in tight spaces), and EK does nothing to make you more survivable in combat in any case. EK ranged is fine but you don't have sneaks or weapon training or studied target so you're sort of a wash with AT in that case.

No, STR-based is good right away because of the way it works with two-handed. Enlarge + Reach and you're good. By the time you get 1.5 Power Attack midgame you're good. It's what I use with Tristian and he starts with 9-STR.

I can see the occasional usefulness of 2-handed weapons, but 2 handed fighters are not very survivable in occasions where you do not control the battlefield. Which is a big thing for me. I can see it for Tristian, but I generally do not use 2 handed fighters. (Amiri, as a barbarian, can dish out a lot of damage, for example, but if she is directly attacked she is toast).
But for Tristian it can be OK in certain situations, I am OK with that.
I'm starting to Varnhold DLC for the first time and decided to create an unholy lawful evil eccleiuesurerergee (I don't care how it's spelled) mercenary nuker, any advices? I think fire domain is a must but I'm clueless about the other domain, also I want to use negative channel.

Dude, you’ve got Mirror Image. The perfect solution to that exact problem. Cast/Demoralize/Dazzle first round then wade in. You’ll rarely be attacked let alone hit.
ES = Eldritch Scoundrel

Aldori Defender lets you take Weapon Focus(Dueling Sword) from lvl1 without wasting a feat on Proficiency.
Afaic, one of the main dangers in Kingmaker is when the backline is attacked. This doesn't happen all the time, but it happens frequently enough to be important, especially on Hard and above. There are also several occasions in the game where the party is surrounded and attacked from all sides.

What's the pitch for ES over AT? I've thought about making Octavia one.

In my experience on hard, summons work even better as screeners for these types of encounters. Jaethal's skeleton harem or a druid spontaneous casting a bunch of animals will buy you a couple rounds to kill whatever and change formation.
Sorry for googling the thread, but about how many feats does a good shield twf need? Curious if a shield twf gish is practical.

He’s not killing things in a timely fashion.
