So far I am loving the spellsword and wanted to ask around before getting deeper into the build:
Q1, More SS levels vs fighter? Maybe drop more fighter for bard or rouge UMD?
I took 4 SS, then went 3F (multiclass rule of 3 levels) and I am back to adding SS levels. I intend to take a couple more levels of fighter before epics then at 21 Take fighter for the feat EWF & bonus feat EWS (and another discipline dump).
Q2: is Wep Spec & EWS really worth it considering the SS additional AB & damage, +embue +elemental damage etc ?
Q3: How many Epic Still Spell feats? What’s the consensus on capping out still spell-worthiness?
Build uses Greataxe with Imp Expertise and going for the lowest arcane failure % possible with gear maximizing CON&STR+ empower spells to cap. Bumping Int every 4lvs until ample spell access then going STR or CON
Thoughts?

Re: Spellsword (Dwarf) in the works
The Spellsword23/Fighter4/RogueorBard3 with Fighter taken pre-epic for 4 attacks per round seems to be the kewl. viewtopic.php?f=36&t=13550&start=200 This thread, page 10, you can view Zavandar's spreadsheet, I think it's solid.
Dwarf gets dwarven waraxe proficiency for free and weapon feats via Battleaxe feats (Imp crit and WF, for your purposes), and it can be two-handed for more strengthy approach to combat that can be switched on the go, making the switcheroo a smart idea for most of PvM.
Q1: See the above.
Q2: Not really, SS levels granting an extra feat and more caster level outweigh the +4 damage bonus from Epic weapon focus.
Q3: I guess nada. I think the consensus is that wearing the 5% arcane spell failure chains is the way to go to save the precious epic feats. Three epic feats for wearing a fullplate is a pretty tall order.
