What should I use on it? Made one last nigh with 150 Sonic SP, Armor Piercing and the Half-Life proc...and that was kinda gay, my sonic procs from swashie went from doing a whomping 18-30 to a crushing 30-60 /sarcasm Seems lots of the stupid end-game shit is undead and I have a feeling the Temple of Elemental Sodomy will have undead and xorian assholes so Negative energy doesnt seem to cut it NEED MORE PROCS! Take touch of flames/touch of shadow/1st degree burns are the best tier one abilities. Make one of each. Get your sonic spellpower on an epic chord of reprisals.

Get your sonic spellpower on an epic chord of reprisals. Time to farm Inferno Again :/ didnt even know that dropped there, some asshat told me it dropped in Epic GOP...granted, I should have googled it (like I just did) Just gotta find a Buckler w/ Dodge on it. That belt will help w/ MRR and PRR at least. Are there any good named Bucklers? Like I said, I missed the CC event for the Epic Swashbuckler... And as far as the last weapon...only reason I stuck w/ rapiers is b/c I took Impro Crit: Pierce since for late-game Heroic I was rockin an Imp. Vorp, +5 Banish/GLOB and Turbulent Epee Rapiers... Should I stick w/ Rapiers? Or switch over to SS/Handaxe? Since I can use em both with Impro Crit: Slash and try to build my Epic Enven Blade. Thanks again guys. Wish I had bought an Epic Stone to go w/ my Heroic Stone so I could just max out all my EDs.

	Guess Ill be farming Epic GOP and Inferno for the next foreseeable future trying to pull the Rising Light and the Epic Bard Necklace...Shit sandwich. Thanks for all the help guys, really appreciate it. Guess it is all in the gear. Gonna revisit my enhancements and make some changes. Don't want to be all FUBAR when lvl 30 cap gets released.

	Quote: With ruby of resonance adding 138 spell power on top of what you already have, you will inflict some huge amounts of sonic damage on crits. Ruby eye of force is a joke compared to that.

Know the Angles: Activation cost: [45/30/15] spell points. Cooldown: 20 seconds. Antirequisite: Divine Might. You gain an Insight bonus to damage and the DC of tactical feats equal to 1/2 of your Intelligence modifier for [30/60/120] seconds. Man you really are stupid aren't ya .

If you wanna use keen edge make a 12 ftr 6 monk 2 pala or pure fighter not worth it in swashbuckler Keen edge > exploit weakness if you factor in abilities like momentum swing and en pointe expanding your critical threat range and therefore making it much more likely to remove all your stacks upon activation. I will let you do the math.

	Ran both versions but IN MY CASE, I keep with EW. Momentum swing miss a lot when you cleave(in my case) need wait some seconds then use it those seconds I can dps more. Different play styles and math Talking about the OP hell no don't use US pls 200 hps it's not worth it lol and the 3BC slayer area have a good buckler http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Kobold_Admiral%27s_Tiller

So you spend 8 more points, don't get the to-hit, get 1/2-mod DC instead of 1/3, have to click it every two minutes, and blow all your CC.� Brilliant. On a rogue, sure.� On a bard?� �Yeahno.

If you're doing a cleave build, twist mom swing and lay waste.� That'll bring you up to 5 or 6 cleaves, so it's pretty constantly resetting.

Are you fucking retarded ? 1/3 of your int mod is less dc gained than 1/2, plus the Duration is increased to 30/60/120 (1/1/1) and you will also get some extra damage which seems to be pretty significant to me. Do us a favor and get back to school once more. With 42 int you will gain +8 damage and +8 dc to your tactical feats for only 1 damn point.

	Quote: Rapier > Handaxe, for the purpose of swashbuckling + keen edge. I don't know why you are bringing up a Kensei enhancement for a pure bard build,...but I recommended handaxe for a damage screenshot because of Headsman's Chop. After that it doesn't matter as much what you swing because TF is optimal 99% of the time and swashbuckling equalizes* all the standard critical profiles. *But if you are swashing in Divine Crusader like I recommended, you should be swinging a TF light pick, because Celestial Champion will add 50% more crit damage to a x4 weapon than a x3. (15-20x4 > 13-20x3)

I'll swap out to LPs once I max it out. Still in the process off hunting down the Mystic Eidolons, Epic Chord of Reprisals and Epic Rising Light. Question: Using Shadowforged Light Armor now....used to use Flawless (tier 3) Blue Scale Light Armor. With the Mystic Eidolons I can pretty much get rid of the shadow shit...should I go back to Dragon armor, and maybe grind out 375 PDK Favor...or stick with that or other "basic" armors?

	Flawless black is a no brainer for melee. Epic red is nice in DC, since you'll want the combustion spellpower.

Plus the Evasion, Slippery Mind and Uncanny Dodge in the Swash tree made splashing monk or rogue useless. Might switch over to black dragon...just sucks I lose 2 augment slots

	You'll want the highest crit range possible. Gaurdbreaking procs on crits and can AoE on cleaves. Hits everything undead, construct, ooze, w/e. Great for stopping chain swingers and the orange named Shades in wgu. Dont bother with keen edge because exploit weakness is better, less feats, saves ap for a more synergistic tree in swashbuckler. If youre not going dwarf or anything with racial weapon modifiers then use vanguard for shield bash procs(Pick up improved shield bash feat too) and some +1 to dmg mods.

	Unless you have extra fort somewhere else like Minos, I'd never trade Shadow striker light on any melee. Unless you want to get crittted by Magma Brutes, Dragons, Deathknights and stuff. 86 spell power is not that hot when you can get 138 augments or even higher Potency.

Yea right, kensei (32 AP) will net you + 3 tactics, +3 extra boosts, haste boost, +4 dmg, +1 enhancement bonus when scoring a vorpal stacks 4 times (pretty easy to do when swf) +2 % doublestrike, power surge (+4 damage) keen edge (you Wont loose your crit bonus when activating momentum swing and en pointe since the crit bonus is consistent) +2 strength (+1 dmg) and + 4 damage from weapon specialization plus greater weapon specialization. That means you are giving up +17 damage on top of what i have mentioned so far. This is madness� .
