6/6/8 rogue/bard/barb build? or 6/14 rogue/bard.

Ran my level 4 elf rogue through Korthos on solo elite and it looked good. Using a 1 cleric hireling the most damage I took was 19 points on the crystal quest. The others averaged 1 to 5. Basically my eq is a little twinked I have a +3 ada breastplate +3 maul couple +1 items and the ship eq for vet char. I got the plus 1 tomes. My stats right now are 16 str 18 dex 14 con 16 int 11 wis and 16 cha. I took med armor and maul for feats. My hp is in the 60's. I am taking the req's for the mechanic to level 6. After that I am taking bard enhancements to get spellsinger at level 12. I looked at elf enhancements and noticed that they have really cool archer enhancements. I like the idea of + 3 arrows that do 3d6 fire damage. If I take 14 levels of bard I will have the enhancements to fill all those slots and if I get bow strength and point blank range I could do alot of damage. Rogue gives dex and bard gives cha so thats good. 14 bard unlocks level 5 spells. The other way I could go is after getting spellsinger take 8 barb levels. This would give me lots of hp. I could still use a bow with the bow strength feat. I would have to give up either the maul feat or the med armor feat, and would actually lose a feat if I went this route since you can only change one feat. any ideas? Chars name is Qwiggly Ratbane on argossonian.

thinking about it. Would a barb archer work. I mean if you were an elf with point blank range and bow strength, with decent strength you would do some damage with those +3 arrows that do 3d6 damage. One think I noticed about ranged weapons though is they are slow. is there anyway to speed them up?

extra 3 points of cha and dex plus 4 points of con for barb. whats not to like?

low levels of barbarian is not worth it. Here is a build that will give you all the feats without planing:

11 ranger/8bard/1 rogue

16
16 + level ups
12
12
08
14

1) toughness
3) power attack
6) weapon focus ranged
9) point blank shot
12) weapon focus pierce
15) ic ranged
18) extend

enhancements:
arcane archer
warchanter

Or for maximum ranged punc

18 barbarian/1 ranger/1 bard

1) point blank shot
3) rapid shot
6) manyshot
9) ic ranged
12) power attack
15) precision
18) improved precise shot

enhancements
frenzy III

6 rogue/14 bard is feasable.
