41 giant warrior
considering a switch to TWC + falchions

Question is, can I swing in 5?

dex/agi are maxed for my race, 100(20) I think.
Let me know.

Two falchions act as base 8.
To get 3 seconds of RT reduction, you need 8 + 30 = 38 combined bonus. You have 40.
QED: Yes.

NB: There is also a Heavy Offhand Weapon penalty based on strength bonus. Given you're a giant, just don't use a glaes falchion or anything in the offhand and you should be fine.

Perfectly viable, it's the weapon training plan I use and I do just fine. 5 second swings, 6 second open ambush. MOC gets ridiculous RT after a few swings...but MOC doesn't count.

I dunno, hitting something six times with a falchion for only 13 seconds of RT sounds pretty sweet to me. Sure it's not the best idea to be standing around for 13 seconds, but that doesn't stop those THW maniacs, why let it stop you?

make sure you leave enough TP's for plate

Pretty easy to manage 2x.
