Hi all
I am going to TR my current scoundrel bard into another scoundrel of some kind, and I really wanted to try inquisitive with it. The main purpose of the build is to get the scoundrel PL and preferably one class PL that I want. There will be no +1 lesser heart, saving that for the third scoundrel life as a sorcerer.
There is no need to be uber at 30, cause i will tr again quite soon after reaching it (might do some legendary reapers for the rxp, but no more than once per quest).
I am currently completionist with 3x fvs, 2x sorc, 3x wiz, 2x bard (once I TR).
So here are my constraints/desires
1) 1x bard as first level (scoundrel with no lr+1)
2) A Past life I lack
3) not sorcerer - already got a plan for that
4) Not be significantly worse when solo (for instance sneak attack being big part of dps without a way of getting sneak attack when solo)
I have thought up the following options:
1) 1x bard, 6x ranger, 13x rogue
AP: main inquisitor, harper for into to hit and KTA, mech to 3rd core for int to damage + goodies, dws for sniper shot (for SA). Rest spread around if anything left.
2) 1x bard, 2x fighter (for feats mainly) 17x cleric.
AP: main inquisitor, falconry to tier 4, Rest in racial/Kensai (little left after inq and falc though)
PL-wise I prefer 2 over 1 cause i want +1 dc to conjuration more than +1 SA damage (mostly play casters). Play-wise Cleric nice cause of heals, cc-spells and implosion, last two if and only if I can get DC high enough. Was thniking either luck or earth (earthquake). 2 should also allow me to have IPS at 15 instead of 18 (if taking both fighter levels at or before 15), which I would like if possible.
Now to my questions:
1) I have never ran a ranged build outside one pure arty, which was a long time ago, and they are not as feat-constrained as these builds would be. What ranged feats are a must on xbow
2) Which of the two suggestions are "best" and why?
3) What ED would you chose for the 2 above builds?
4) Any other build ideas under my constraints?
