CC Bard 3.0

[Requiem_83]

Alright, I have redone my build in the planner (and these at a decent time of day to improve my concentration 8-)). I am really bummed about have to lose +2 enchant dc by dropping past life arcane initiate and epic spell focus, but that is the only way I can figure to make room for the metas. At the very bottom I've also broken down my gear setup that I am shooting for so please feel free to add comments there as well.

I've been working towards this build for almost two years and would really like it shine. Any advice would be awesome.

I'm not surte about new gear/insight etc, but from what I understand the +2insight on a tod ring doesn't stack with +3 insight on the trinket. So you only net +1 cha, so you may as well use a litany if you can, for +1 to all stats.
