	Have a dronk I need to TR; 3rd life, +3 STR, INT and CHA tomes, +2 DEX, CON and WIS, and best of all, 2 unopened raider's reward boxes Here's what I'm thinking: 17 Bard/2 Rogue/1 FVS Half-Elf STR 16 DEX 14 CON 14 INT 12 WIS 8 CHA 16 Precision Dilettante: Paladin SWF Empower Healing iSWF IC: Piercing gSWF Extend I'm not sure whether to go STR or CHA with levels; STR would be more DPS, but this could potentially be a viable cc'r, as well...

Harper is a good idea, if I have the AP to spare, but high bard was mostly because of the lack of a reason to go more rogue or FVS. I considered 13 rogue/6 bard/1 FVS, but kind of squishy.

I'm finding it to be a little low, and that's on high monk builds. Rubbinns wrote on Oct 30^th, 2014 at 12:14am: Sing a song and kill them all. Why bother with other cc.

Your will saves will be few points higher as bard than rogue. Feynman wrote on Oct 30^th, 2014 at 12:25am: Are you finding 70ish reflex workable on evasion chars end game? I'm finding it to be a little low, and that's on high monk builds. Depends where. EE thunderholme, EE 3bc, EE necro 4, no. The rest of the game, yeah. Not many other builds are breaching that number. And if they are then most of them are dex based or pally splashed.

	I have a divine might bard. I like it a lot less than I did when it had fighter levels instead of fvs levels. The split must have seemed like a good idea at the time (10bard/6fvs/4rogue)but i have no idea why I did that split. Probably because I just swapped in 6 fvs in place of 6 fighter. The high str is ok, but i prefer the survivability. This was also before, when you had to have 6 fighter levels for defensive stance. But the fighter levels mean I get more freebie feats. Which is nice for the full swf + cleaves + shield mastery line.

	Mobs can "roll" a "20" on a save too right?

	decided to give this a go with 1 fvs for divine might, 6 fighter for feats + stance and 13 bard for bard stuff. my previous was 10b/6fvs/2rog and i didn't like it much (as my previous comment made mention of) i'll be losing evasion from the missing 2 rogue, but i'd like to see how it plays out. i went shadar kai because i think they look cool, and i still had a +20 heart to burn.
