Looks nifty. Don't know how it would play out at endgame, but seems like it should be easy-breezy to level.

My one question is why go with the 1 level of Barb? Seems like the rages would only be helpful in a small number of situations, and Bard 8 gives you the next increase in Inspire Courage and Inspired Attack II, for a total Inspire Courage of +5 attack/+6 damage. Not too shabby. That would also seem to trump the benefits of Fighter 1, although you would lose 14 HP from dropping the 1 Martial class splash and have to cast Master's Touch.

Edit: Actually, just noticed that Fighter 1 gives you the feat you'd need for Warchanter I. I'd definitely go that way over Bard 8 and Barb 1.

Can't cast while raged. Wouldn't go barb.

Here is a good source for flexible builds....

As far as I can see, it's biggest weakness is that more focused builds will perform better than it in raid groups. Bards will have better songs, other divines will be better healers, other melees will provide better DPS.

That being said, as a TR it should perform very well, because gear can help address the shortcomings that may be difficult to overcome during the first life. In addition, it seems like this build would be ideal for 6-man groups, since it can heal, buff, and contribute to DPS in a more flexible way than other more conventional builds.

Honest?  I can be that.

I think the idea behind it is stupid.  A pure 20 bard can dps, heal, sing, umd, AND is more effective in a solo, group, or raid setting.

I won't tell you clerical wise, you already know that.

In the end, I think it is a lot like the 12 wizard/8 monk build.  It sounds nice, but lets face facts here.  A 11wis/9monk would out dps it, and for raids that is all most people care about.  Dems the facts.

Now, since I know you that you already have other toons that are geared out for raiding and epics, why not have a little fun?  Shit, we all have had our abomination builds that we adored while waiting for new content.  Shit, I used to  have over 30 characters at one point in time all raiding - none of them were built the same.  It is healthy for your gaming experience, brings back some of the fun in the game.

Splash 20 levels of monk.  Now THAT is a crazy build.

I just TR'd my Pale Shintao into a cleric.  I'm done with the uber gimpositude of the Wiz/Monk thing...it really, really, really, sucked balls.  Not enough spell DPS to matter, not enough melee DPS to matter, pretty much relegated to buff-bot if one actually cared about doing something positive to contribute to the party.

As a proud  member of the Loreseekers Waartribe, I have found it easy to get into groups, dispite my build. ATM i'm a 4/4/3 monk/ftr/sorc, Helf with FvS dilettante. I have my pros and cons like any other build. Granted, endgame quests I might not get into groups so easily, But I have fun. I have been playing since DDO came out. I have been declined on my single class toons in the past, doesn't hurt my feelings If I don't get accepted into a group. I expect to get declined more on this build, but hey, thats what a guild is for.
