swashy split bard fighter rogue

any insight would be appreciated
im planning on goin 10 bard 6 fighter 4 rogue
dex based
35 points in swashy tree
13 ap in thief acrobat for shadow dodge
32 points in kensai

are there any good reasons to go 12 bard instead of 10? i could take a level from fighter and rogue if there is
4th rogue level doesn't give me anything because i already get uncanny dodge from swashy tree but i would lose a feat if i take of the fighter level, only real bonus i see is a slight bab increase

feats are:
power attack
precision
dodge
mobility
improved critical
empower healing
quicken
weapon finesse
single improved greater and perfect single weapon fighting
epic reflexes
overwhelming critical
holy strike
elusive target

this may sound stupid but does perfect single weapon fighting really do anything?
im not going to be using any weapon that is vorpral so should i just trash perfect swf?
instead go with perfect two weapon fighting for 5 percent doublestrike

decided to go 11/6/3 since you get nothing from 4th rogue lvl and for slightly higher bab

bab is the same actually
advantage of bard is third 4th lvl spell (CCW, DDoor, FoM)
advantage of rogue is potential access to 4th lvl rogue enhancements (but you probably won't have AP anyway)

i would ditch dodge and mobility and pick up cleaves or shield masteries (if buckler). though on lama shield mastery is fubar.

you don't need finesse

get perfect TWF for 5% doublestrike

why 32 points in Kensei? no.

32 points in kensai is for the dmg and the extended crit range, everything in the tree seems good only other tree i can see myself going in is vanguard for shield shenanigans

In my attempt to ungimp my TWF 16bard 2Fighter 2 Rogue Horc from 1 year ago i did a small LR and went SWF even as a horc and without much effort i can still dish out ridiculous ammounts of Dps have CC (not from disco ball even with mind fog ofc) and 90ish PRR while being able to get EE traps and locks.
I'll ETR my TWF bard to one of these again but still trying to squeeze more fighter levels in,since i am not feat starving but something extra would be nice.
Btw went with shield masteries since cleave screws up my fascinated isolation kills strategies for soloing

I can tell by your typing that you are an uneducated fuckwit.  This explains why you think books are bad.  I bet you think school is hard and you shouldn't have to repeat 7th grade again this year.

You can get reliable fascinates with Bard dill from being a half elf.  You just have to put the points in perform.

DC = Perform skill + 1d20; but remember, mobs do roll 20's.  Too often.
