Hi,
I have actually very easy to find the answear question, as long as somebody has some indeep game mechanic knowledge (not me) and math aproach.

Looking for more or less optimal max: Personal dps

Condicions:
- bard as base class
- min 2 lv of rogue
- raid scale buffing abilities
- extend
- 2wf


Variables:
- any non half ogre race
- possible more levels of rogue
- fighter or barb splash (or whatever else)
- khopesh or rapier or scimitar or ? (generally 2wf)
- any pre

Why easy answears are not always good:
- Just go pure, it will max raid dps... the 2 rog must be there, the pre III will be somewhere after range pass... so i can still go with minimum 4 levels of splash.
- Human + Khopesh + barbarian + WC is most dps, this sounds lovely but no place for extend :-/

So anyone has some experience? Or actually the differences are so small, that it doesnt really metter with same gear?

The level 18 was chosen with a torc and a con opp item in mind, but you may choose something more dps oriented if you like (perhaps oTWF, *edit: hamstring is also a nice option).
You could also reduce Int a bit if you don't want hide/move silently skills.
