With all this talk about 2-handed and dual-wielding WM's as well as attaining high AB, what about defense?
Without a good AC, and without a shield for some immunities and DR, how vulnerable is a non-Earth Genasi WM? Monks, if high enough level, get Empty Body for a few rounds, which can help in a pinch. But, what of Aasimars (pally/WM)? I haven't gone to the Planes yet, but I've heard from people who have that the mobs there are nasty. Sure, I can probably deal some good damage and survive by fighting one on one. Still, even in a party, it's going to be tough, unless enemies are lured, one by one. I can recall some Ice Giants runs where the enemies come fast and thick, couple of good hits and you're as good as dead. I'm assuming it's worse in the Planes?
