Swashing with named weapons is awesome for leveling, but I think most people are disappointed when they inevitably switch to TF and revert to 15-20x3. But swash and DWS will stack for rapiers and kukris, giving holy sword level crits to your mortal fear weapon.
Thunderforged Rapier 11-20x3
Balizarde 11-20x4
Mutineer's Blade 9-20x3
Celestia 13-20x3 (honorable mention for glancing blows)

Interesting, thanks. I've been musing over a glass cannon style 12Rgr/7Rog/1___ for some time. This is whetting my appetite too. More survivable I'd think so I may nick your idea and try Bard first.

Just a thought - PDK w/ fighter instead of Lock would work, correct? Would give an extra feat too.
EDIT: Also, could toss a few points in Vanguard if you're going to off-hand a buckler.

What's funny is that even though they buffed TWF and give it away for free, it has such a bed rep that no one wants it.

Yeah, the idea was 1x so you could do PDK, SK, or sun elf.
IMO Skirmisher isn't worth it unless you take at least 3 fighter levels. Dashing Scoundrel is very nice DPS.

Pure ranger is probably more melee DPS w/ tempest and DWS. It's just not a very interesting build. I think Swash adds a lot though.
