Passive Past Life worth it?

[Cobra13e]

So just as the title says - is the Bard Passive Past Life worth it on Bard Final life?
Long term goal of multiple TR's (3 Wiz, 3 Sorc, 3 Barb) ending with Bard Spellsinger and was wondering if it would be worth it to add in a few Bard Past Lives.

Thanks in advance!

I was looking at doing something kind of like that - I've come to the conclusion that for me - One bard past life seems to be all that's worth it. Free up some spell pen feats with the wiz past lives and train the bard trainable past life feat that's +1 to enchantment DCs.

That's my two cents worth! Good luck!

I'm not too impressed by the passive bonus. Songs are plenty, even on splashed warchanters, and situational +2 to will is nice, but not worth using a life on that.

If you are really willing to improve your final build as a pure spell singer by more past lives than 3 wiz, 3 sorc, 1 bard, consider the passive FVS past life for +20 SP, +1 Spell Pen.

skip the sorcs... go for FvS instead. +2 spell pen and the extra sp that sorcs get. way better!

Thanks all for the replies.
Yeah the passive PL feat didn't seem worth taking IMO, and I thought about the trainable feat, but with other things I wanted couldn't fit it in. Would it be worth taking in place of GSF: Enchant?
Don't have access to FvS (Premium player) so was taking Sorc for the additional SP (have to go look through the bard spell list and see how many spells are Evoc - 60 SP ain't worth 3 TR's now that I look at it closer.)

Thanks again for the input.

the passive life feat is half decent in low level content and in pvp. if you tr bard 3 times you got +6 saves vs enchant and illusion spells wich is pretty nice. the song part is pretty **** tho 3 extra songs.. aint that special and there def better choices passive life feat wise.

another thing to consider is that bard don't have it that easy in comparision to the other 3 classes if you plan on soloing a lot. 13 mill exp with pugs on a bard ain't my idea of a good time.

The Passive is pretty lame.

The Active? I like, at least on my Spellsinger. He's not multiple TRs, just a single TR from Bard, back to Bard.

The fact that the three free ICs are affected by additional Bard levels and enhancements helps. They are exactly the same as my regular IC. At 24 minutes between rests, that pretty much means all my regular songs can be used for more Spellsinger-like things.

+1 Cha Skills and +1 Enchantment DCs on top of it? Pimp.

Definitely dropping the Sorc past lives out of the plan and prolly go down to 1 bard past life if I think I can fit in the Trainable feat (looked at your build for reference DearLeader).

Thanks again everyone.
