He was actually being helpful. The best archers in the game are Monkchers, and star chuckers. A Swashbuckling Bard AA is something done for flavor.
Seems you're upset that those builds are laughably better. That and you don't like the perceived stereotype that anything else is gimped. As some sort of socially awkward rebellion, your goals are to change the cultural view to be less skewed towards efficiency and more on the verge of Gimped, but full of fun and flavor.
Swf isnt working with ranged so i dont know why you would make something like that at all.
Currently in ddo its hard to pull off a ranged only build without monk, be it a shuri build or bow user.
I mean its just a flavor build in the end.
You could maybe make something with throwers and bard but doubt it can top ninjas core for extra shuris, didnt really look to much at thrower bard idea.
Op are you interested in thrower bards?
Maybe it could be fun, no idea tho, dont plan to make anything like that myself, currently super happy with broken swf druid, beyond happy since i really like to blitz with 0 issues in ee wyrn on that broken abomination.
Why im suggesting thrower is, if you go bow you need to stick to aa tree which as cross tree kinda locks you out of most bard things.
If you go throwerish route you could stick to swasch tree n such.
Maybe better if your goal is ranged and not bow.
IF its bow only, then really dont know what to say, you can try it, if its fun for you good.
