Save my Warchanter!

[fervidsea]

Hello, I recently returned after an 8 month break. I was working on a bard TR, 3rd life, lvl 14, and wanted to throw the build out there and ask for some advice on how to continue his progress so that he would be viable at end game.

I was using The Classic Rocker as my base for when he started. I had leveled a dwarf rocker and said wow thats nice lets TR my monk... bad idea because I hate the TR process, but here I am.

My main goal at first was just to level him back to 20 on his third life, (1st(Monk), 2nd(Fighter/Monk), primarily solo. He has no real end game gear, very few epics mostly cannith/cove stuff. Then while working my way to 25, work on gearing him out, EDs etc.

For the build itself I can LR if needed. I really like the self sufficiency the bard can bring so that I can solo what I choose, however I really like to be asked to raids/groups etc.

So melee preferred (why else to be a HOrc), solo capable, but wanted to be around in groups.

This is currently what I have planned, but like I said he is lvl 14 atm.

15 cleave
18 great cleave
21 overwhelming crit
24 empower healing

if you decided to take some fighter for feats, consider:
* inspire excellence
* quicken

if you'd like to rip asses via unbridled manyshot, you could either take 6 ranger levels or LR to enough dex for manyshot (dipping e.g ftr2+rgr2)

Way to go on warchanter nowadays is to splash - capstone without max charisma will do you no good. Good splits are 16/2/2, or even deeper, I wouldn't go below 14 levels of bard though. Popular splashes are Ftr/Rogue, Ftr/Barb or Ftr/Ranger. Anyway, you want that Overwhelming Critical.

Thank you both for the advice, I will take it into consideration.
