Yeah, pretty much. The tree offers ludicrous melee bonuses. 35 doublestrike, 10 offhand ds, 20mp, 10 enchantment bonus, + to hit and damage, 1 (w), and crit modifiers. Beats the swash tree. Probably beats most melee trees or gets used in tandem as one of the best melee auxiliary trees.
To qualify... most of that sexy stuff requires wielding shit daggers to work...
Or you have to buy your way past shit enhancements to get it.
Either way... I dont see it being all that OP.
Then again, I'm not exactly an expert on breaking the meta, so take that opinion with a grain of salt.
To the OP: I ran an 18 Bard/ 2 Rogue to epic cap and it was easily one of my favourite builds. Evasion + Trapping + Bard CC + Swash DPS = LULZ
I used Coup de Grace, but I am considering Frozen Fury next time around since the only thing I was missing was a "Cleave" in melee.
YMMV.
