Build Summary:
A do it all DPS,Traps,Totally Self Sufficient soloist build


Notes: I did this build out of pure boredom with standard melee and because ive always wanted another bard. This build is def not for everyone and can be a tough one to do and do right requires alot of grinding to get the gear it needs to shine but I have the time. The only real reason i went dex based on this one was I have a str based TWF Dwarf warchanter allready and I wanted something a bit different. Yes I know her dps is on the lower end of the spectrum and would be much better as a str based using khopeshs but thats not what i wanted. As far as reason for posting it I just felt like it advice isn't needed but still welcome as per I have already successfully made possibly one of the highest dps bards in game and definitely one of the toughest raging out to a 41 str at 605 hp without any +4 tomes yet. Over all she will still deal enough DPS while fully capable of full self buffing and healing to make me happy as it stands im still leveling her and having a blast she may not be the toughest character I haive built but hey how many lvl 9 characters can resist themselves buff themselves with haste rage displacement stoneskin ect toss heal scrolls (not to easy yet) song themselves kill well everything take care of traps when needed. Really I havent had this much fun leveling a character in quite some time shes a blast.

I did pretty much the same thing you did. I have a WF 12bard/6rgr/2rogue that can hit about 650HP buffed and has all the greensteel and raid gear goodies. I focused the grind on him. I had a 16th level drow spellsinger sitting around that I wasn't really happy with. He had sat on the shelf for about 1.5 years. I did a greater reincarnation into the 16bard/2ftr/2rog class split. He's 14/2/2 now. I'm slowly soloing and leveling him. The only real gear he had of note was a pair of Tier II Existential Stalemate greensteel goggles. The rest is just regular +6 stat gear, Minos Legens, and an outfit of Fearsome of Improved False Life or Deathblock of Improved False Life. I didn't really feel like putting time into the grind for uber gear so I made his stat spread about the same as yours. I deviated a little and put more into Strength. I wanted to hit 40UMD with the cartouche and voice of the master so I started with a higher Charisma. I had a couple of nice rapiers sitting around and bought a few more. For the most part he switches between dual vorpal kukris or a +3 holy burst of righteousness in the main hand and a +3 seeker 6 of pure good in the offhand. Occasionally I throw in a +5 icyburst flaming rapier of maiming I found on the AH for 20kpp buyout.

He is fun to solo. Pretty easy to toodle around the Vale. Enough survivability to wander the Shavarath battleground open area and solo Sins of Attrition on normal. The keys being for me- high enough UMD to land scrolls, high scroll/wand mastery for 192pt self heals, a high enough concentration to use scrolls while engaged in battle, stoneskin wands, displacement, and a good perform skill. I highly recommend the Invisibility spell as it allows you to bypass certain fights or travel about without getting too much agro. You can also Fascinate while invisible and sneaking and it won't break it. The bad guys only get a Listen check, not a Spot check so if you skirt around their active patrol areas, you're generally ok. Break Enchantment can be nice for clearing enemy AoE spells that are either irksome or dangerous to non evasion party members such as Blade Barrier.

I personally went Force of Personality as I like the will save especially when soloing but other than that my feats are the same as yours. This is my stat spread.

Strength 16 + 5 level up + 2 tome + 6 item + 1 Fighter + 2 Rage Spell = 32
Dexterity 16 + 2 tome + 2 racial + 6 item = 24
Constitution 14 + 2 tome + 6 item + 2 Rage Spell = 24
Intelligence 10 + 2 tome = 14
Wisdom 8 + 6 item = 14
Charisma 14 + 2 class + 2 tome + 6 item = 24

At level 18 he's at about 364HP with rage and his saves are 24/30/26 with a +4 resist item, Voice of the Master, and GH.

I guess the whole point of these ramblings was I found myself in a situation similar to you, dusted off an old character, equipped him with moderate gear and have really enjoyed playing him with success ever since.
