Depends on the build, really.

Knockdown is always a good one.

One of those epic shapeshifts look like they'd be nice, too.

extra music.... well I think that is what it is called...

but with it my bard can sing 9 times a day now and he is only level 5... I nearly never run out of battle tunes...

and yes I know that is you take your bard Epic it is a waste..but until you do it helps alot :)

Blindfight.

It's the only feat that helps when fighting against foes with Concealment.

Edit: A very "monkish" feat as well... Picture the Kung Fu master fighting opponents while wearing a blindfold.

Armour skin is pretty good.

2 points of ac that count against everything and stack with everything.

Spring Attack is the feat I think I would most miss.

No Attacks of Opportunity when moving in combat means you can switch targets or if someone is getting rather battered you can drop some healing on them without being hacked apart.

When my meleer is in the middle of a mob, improved expertise is often the difference between owning them all with just a few nicks and scratches on my char, or needing some serious healing asap.

For my rogue: Weapon Finesse -- wouldn't be able to hit a damn thing without it! (Closely followed by HIPS).

Great Cleave. With my monk, it's doubly effective, since he gets two attacks as the first one in a flurry. With my cleric, it's the army of undead, mass heal, great cleave, move on the the next encounter. Blindfight is really useful, as noted above.

Overall, the absolute best feat I have is Improved Ki Strike +5. Makes mages wet their robes.

- Can't go wrong with improved crit. Extra oomph at those critical moments (ha HA! 50punxp)
- Called shot pays off for an archer in a hurry
- Extend spell never goes out of style

Extended Spell

Extended Spell is very good, also the Epic Skill Focus ones are good. For a fighter knockdown is a must.

Epic dodge is one of my favs (and hates on NPC's), Knockdown and extended spell too. Blindfight is awesum as well.
Feats I miss are Halo, Improved Halo and Epic Halo of the Saints, as well as Innocence, Epic sound-effects and a few others.

Improved evasion or how a rogue survives lots of angry evokers.
