I have this Totemist2 in front of me. He's pretty bog-standard:
Warforged.
Adamantine Body for the lulz.
Jaws of Death for the extra attack.
Binding Giralon Arms for 4 claw attacks, combined with the bite and slam for 6 attacks total.
Blink Shirt and Wormtail Belt to round out.
A "classic" progression is to then dip 2 levels of Lion Totem Barbarian, grab two more levels of Totemist, then go full out Totem Rager. However, I don't feel like focusing on Raging fits the character concept.
I'd like to try something with a more martial bent. While yes, I'll be taking at least one level of LTB to get Pounce, I'm not sure how useful the second level of LTB is (Uncanny Dodge isn't that useful due to low Dex from Adamantine Body, any good ACFs?)
Is it possible/feasible to simply use Totemist2/LTB1-2 as a springboard (by supplying some good weapons) into another martial class, like ToB? The idea of swapping initiator and Totemist levels to keep the Giralon Claws maxed out (with the Expanded Soulmeld feat, of course) in the later levels has a certain appeal to it.
... yeaaah, it looks like Totem Rager is by far the optimal choice. :smallannoyed:
