	Have only 5 past racial points, +8 tomes, lots of class and iconic lives though. Looking to solo epic content R2 to R5 easy.

	Splits are fine, maybe human for bonus feat, a level of fighter (?), a level of FVS (?)

	Bearing in mind that I don't know what I'm doing with melee builds, I have had some thoughts on this before, just not anything I've bothered trying. 3 bard and 5 barb can get you a 15-20/x6 or 14-20/x5 crit profile with the right handaxes. Depending on your split you could easily get 6-10 imbue die in heroic with the usual extras available to all in epic. Bards can use a buckler with swf, and 1 per sec shield bash plus swf speed should be close to twf number of hits probably? Feels a like a strong base to add 12 levels of whatever else. Add it all together could it be worth doing?

	It’s probably not good, but I’m planning to run a PDK 18 Bard/1Fighter/1FVS with SWF Bastard swords (helm for prof.). Feats: SWF, ISWF, GSWF, IC: Slash, Off hand vers., Dodge, mobility, spring attack, precision, overwhelming crit, inspire excellence, epic damage reduction, f.o.p./whirlwind strike, PSWF, PTHF, harbinger of chaos, and TH spec. At 31. I use arborea at level 30 for TR reasons, but you can use a different scion feat if staying at cap for a bit. I haven’t figured out the AP yet, but it’s mostly warchanter, some swashbuckler, and the swash imbue. Spellsinger for better Bard buffs if I can fit it. Cha to hit/damage from PDK but Feydark is a possibility if not using PDK (but iconic is needed for helm as the deity unless you are going dwarf with axes, or you are willing to burn a feat for proficiency). Full disclosure, I’m not pushing reapers with this, and my role in a raid/party is to Bard buff. After that I’m just going to tickle some mobs to death (hopefully).

	Shadar-kai chain build. The chain gets an additional 2 threat and 2 multi. For iconic leveling a brush hook is pretty funny. Swords to plow-shares, swash, and improved critical: slashing, get you to a 14-20/x4. When you swing your hair back and forth it will be 12-20/x6. If you wanna hang out at endgame then go mostly babarian and tier 5 frenzied for multi as well. Handazes SWF is mediocre single target at the moment but chain gets you your AOE for leveling and its fun. If you hang out in epics then you wanna build Sunder DCs so that you can use divine crusader AOE stun with the chain. It has the best synergy IMO.
