Bard/FVs Pure Support

[silvertrit]

If am going for a pure support would a mix of whatever class balance with a human to do repeating or go with a longbow bonus with the silver flame?

FvS are awesome healers. Geared bards can do pretty good healing. I don't see the mix doing well however. Bards are the ultimate support/utility class. If you want to be versatile, stick with Bard.

I was thinking about a FvS/Bard as well, since they both rely on Charisma. As far as I can tell (and Im noob-city here) the Bard doesnt splash well. Most of the MC Bard builds Ive seen are lv16 atleast in the Bard category.

half a bard and half a favored soul is still just half a healer.

FvS aren't really Cha focused at all, and bards only sometimes are, and probably shouldn't multi in those cases, due to loss of caster/bard levels. Something like FvS 13 bard 7 could deliver most party buffs, but that's really all they could do. They wouldn't really have enough sp to be main healer. Plus their actual bardsong buffs would be subpar and their durations would be too short.
