Get 2 rogue and take 2 more fighter levels. For feats get shield mastery and improved shield mastery, precision, empower heal, quicken. Improved critical pierce for rapiers and short sword. It depends on what weapons you have.

Get Exploit Weakness, Swash Stance, Resonant Arms,  and Skirmisher from swashbuckler tree. Stalwart Stance from Stalwart Defender tree and stack that with a buckler. Rest of the AP can go into Vanguard tree. If your Int can reach 30 then spend 6 AP into Harper for Know The Angles.

SWF + Shield Mastery is an awesome combo; I prefer to put the rest of my AP into SD instead of Vanguard, but there's nothing wrong with that approach.

I still prefer kama on a swashbuckler, but if you don't feel like farming/buying the Brush Hook, Rapiers are OK.

Epic Garos Malice (Greater Incineration+Vorpal!)
Star of Day
Epic Elemental Rapier of Air
TF light pick
  

You can't win the Vault, you can only make a fool of yourself and be added to my ignore script. Hi Welcome

I'd use elemental air 1-25. TF 26-28.

Use Star of Day for rust monsters.

Tiefling assassins blade takes the cake.  Use it till you get to your Greensteel or E-Blade.

My Bard

Name and Title 'borrowed' as in Tabletop she is a 14/8 Cleric/Fighter


Cavatina Xarann
The Darksong Knight

Dark Elf
16 Bard, 2 Favored Soul, 2 Rogue

Her next life will be 15 Bard, 2/3 Fighter, 2/3 Favored Soul

I haven't decided yet, but yes I'm stuck with Favored Soul with this build.

I'm currently working on a build layout, and will link it here for you when its done.

I solo'd Heroic Elite to 20, then Epic Hard to 28... her damage was fine from 1-20, 20-25 was painful. 25+ is a cake geared up.

Base/Buffed
15 Str 64 + pots and cookies
16 Dex 40 ~ could use to be a bit higher for the Rog lvls
12 Con 36 ~ some room to improve, already 900+hp at 28
16 Int 39 ~ like I said, trapper.  epic ring of the archmagi
08 Wis 17 ~ not wearing a wisdom item atm.
16 Cha 35 ~ some room to improve, increases str 12+

saves are 55/72/45,
I could take force of personality over Imp Shield bash to improve will saves.

The reason for the stat split this way for me was that I wanted full trapping, and casting skills.  I like my points hehe.

If you're willing to give up trapping skills, you can start much lower on intel and higher on con.



64+ Strength (bard rage, divine might, songs, and primal scream = 64)
80+ Strength (potions, cookies, etc)
45% Attack speed hasted, 75% with Action Boost (Acrobat)
29% Double Strike currently, 78% with Action Boost (Divine Crusader)
50 Melee Power at the moment
25% chance to Dodge currently
75+ DC Fascinate
Crap DC Dancing Ball, Crap Spell Pen, for now


Full SWF line, shield mastery, Imp Shield Mastery, precision, ic pierce, and imp shield bash. the last can be swapped with stunning blow, I just didnt use it that much and found 20% extra shield bashes more useful for my playstyle, and I like the graphic.






Using Favored Soul to gain: 

~Angel Of Vengeance~ 7 Pts
Font of Power (+1 Spell Power, +2 Spell Points, x7)
Smiting (+2 to Fire/Light/Physical/Force Spell Crit Chance)
Angelic Resistance (+1 Save vs Magic, x2)
Articles of Faith (Favored Weapon = Implement)

~Warpriest~ 11 Pts
Smite Foe (useless at higher levels, +2 AC, +5 Fire/Light SP)
Divine Might (Cha Mod to Str for 120 Seconds, x3)
Righteous Weapons (+1 Enhancement to Short Swords, x2)
Wall of Steel (+10 PRR, 3 points can be saved here)

This also gives me access to 7 Min Nightshield and Protection From Evil spells.




Yes, this build can be improved upon by a huge distance, but she does amazing the way she is.

Without Songs, With Boat Buffs and Enchant Weapon
Thunderforged Shortsword looks like this...
4.75 [1d6] +16
13-18 x3, 19-20x4
Atk/Dam +23 (56 Str)
+48 Universal Spell Power

Fire Spell Power: 308
Light Spell Power: 292
Positive Spell Power: 262
Sonic Spell Power: 291


kinda rambling here, hope that helped.

You can take what I posted there, and drop trap abil's, up to you how or what you want to give up to enjoy your toon, but... bard is fun, especially strength based bards that can get more Str than most Barbarians.

Yes, lvl ups into Str

after epic past lives, and the harper tree to add another +1 enhance, you can raise the TF SS to a +20 Weapon with +60 potency implement bonus.
