Help me brainstorm: Glacier set + Sword of Shadow ... what to be on next life?

[voodoogroves]

Not sure what I'm going to do, looking for some opinions. The Glacier set is great for the cold shield proc, metamagic reductions, spell pen, archmagi ... glaciation is kinda icing. Current char is a bard and has a mix of melee-ish and caster-ish gear ... hybrid stuff. Still farming a Torc also (useful on this life); have ConOp already. Got +1/2 tomes for every stat I think in the bank.

Thinking WF FVS or, possibly, cleric for a future better PL feat. Tukaw build? Wizard w/ some melee? Bard again?






So, can you help me brainstorm a bit? Are there builds you find fun that these items are a key component? I don't want to be too pure a caster and let that SoS languish; it's too fun to swing around.

Seems you have all the items for a nice Horc Bard.

That's what I was thinking.

Heh. Forgot to mention this will be a WF. The vow of WF is strong on this toon. No silly half-orcs.

I'm not against going bard again, but something different may be fun. For my capped toons I'm going to be cycling them one at a time through a TR process. It may seem silly but right now it looks like this:

Clonk -> Bard or FVS or Clonk
Rogue -> Bard
Monk -> Bard
Wizard -> Wizzy or Bard
Bard -> .... this dude


I'm going to be fairly rich with bards; something different would be nice. Ish.

Go fighter/barb then back to bard?

The fireshield guard is really nice and you won't have to roll against casters for it since you have it already, and the PL fighter feat will help when you go back to bard, where going fvs won't help your melee bard as much. Maybe better spell pen on OID, but that's it.
