U19 Warchanter

My pre-U19 warchanter is, like many others, a 16/2rog/2fgt split. It's a dwarf THF bard.

Since 16 is no longer a break point for Inspire Courage, I'm willing to let go of level 6 spells and inspire heroics to go 14/4fgt/2rog to get access to more damage from the kensai tree. Is anyone having similar thoughts?

16 bard was never an Inspire Courage breakpoint.
L15 is Inspire Heroics (and Inspire Excellence)
L16 is CMWMass and OID

I was thinking of 5 levels of rogue using qstaffs.
Or I have seen suggested a THF Cleaver (Carpone's) variant with bard instead of monk.
For my 28pb wayfinder plaything (16 / 3 barbarian / 1 fighter) I am thinking of delving into FrB for Supreme Cleave, as this does not require me to spend the free LR.

EDIT:
Ranger dip seems intriguing for extra cheap devotion and potential furyshot. Feats are probably tight

Yeah, the courage thing is a brain fart. The + damage line got moved from 2, 7, 12 to 3, 12, 20.

Completely missed that. That's a strong point to take at least 15 Bard.

I'm probably going to keep the 16/2/2 for now. I might swap out the 2 rog for more fighter/barb/druid, but I like evasion a bit.

Totally incidental, but I was wondering how a PDK Bard would work out.  Cha to Damage/Attack made me wonder if maybe you could hybridize (probably via just IC: Slashing, Power Attack and an eSoS for the melee portion) a caster/melee bard that didn't totally suck at both.

I went 15 bard with Elkabongg. You get access to Inspire Excellence that way at epic levels.

I'm doing 15 bard for sure.  Considering 3 ranger/2rogue to get manyshot.  Still playing with the build planner on this though.
