Coup de grace waste of time brainstorm

Recently noticed that Coup isn't tied to SWF or Swashbuckling. Tested it out with THF and TWF and it works with them. Didn't test it with bow or xbow, but I'm guessing it works with them too. Also tested to see if it proc'ed on additional mobs from glancing blow weapon procs and it appears that it does. Was killing more than one mob with coup on some tests last night, and am reasonably sure it was from glancing blow weapon procs.

Was hoping to get some ideas for ranged and melee multiple target Coup builds - non-thrower. Currently considering factors ranging from; how can multiple enemies be stunned, tripped, dazed (without using songs - may be difficult with a melee), how can the glancing blow proc chance be as high as possible if THF, how can the character not completely suck balls, etc.

I will concede that it is probably a total waste of time to work on builds that are built around killing only specific kinds of trash mobs at the cost of a ton of AP in a tree that offers just about nothing to characters that don't swash. Just want to see if there is any potential there at all.

A little further down the rabbit hole...
Can Quivering Punch proc on glancing blows? I have no way to test this until Lamannia opens back up.

It used to, not anymore, but it can proc on double strikes.

So you want to know about an exploit?
PM Epoch For Details. Or, in case you don't already know, OnePercenter controls the Exploits Board. Lastly, if you're truly desperate, Vendui Tells Everyone

Thanks.

Tested with repeaters and coup works with them and against multiple incapacitated targets, obviously. Thinking a repeater/coup build may be fun to try since Whistler allows for some IPS/coup fun. Plus I think a glancing blow build would require utilizing fascinate, and nobody wants to wait for that shit.

Weighing wiz, arti, rogue, and fighter levels right now. Couple things that come to mind are 12 Rogue/Bard 5/Fighter 3 or Wizard 15/Bard 5, either necro or enchantment spec'ed. Haven't thought it through much yet.

OK, looking for help with a specific build now. 15 Druid/5 Bard - wis based,  evocation specialist for earthquake, ips and coup for knocked down enemies. Haven't tested coup with earthquake, but guessing that it works with knockdown since coup works with the knockdown from Swashbuckler Low Blow.
