Morninglord or PDK for melee Bard

[Rhaphael]

I've got 2 builds thought out and I'm looking for some opinions on both. My plan was creating a melee Bard with viable healing and CC skills. So basically just like everyone else lol. It's for a new character, so basically no gear yet (aside for some things which are BtA or my alts can craft).

The Morninglord version has the racial buffs of course which imho are it's biggest plus, also 5x Fey Tap for extra SP.

The PDK version has +30% HAMP, an extra +1 CHA, 30% Haste Boost and permanent CHA to attack/damage while the Morninglord version uses Divine Might for that (at half effectiveness). Downside is they're butt ugly.

In neither version I can fit Overwhelming Crit without sacrificing a LOT so I plan to do without.

I'm having trouble making up my mind, so which would you prefer?

So couldnt you just dump Str and max cha?

I need 13 STR for Power Attack. And 17 STR for Improved Two Handed Fighting. But other than that I DID dump STR and maxed CHA.

My personal favor at the moment goes to PDK. Thinking of indeed dumping strength, probably try to get the rest in dex. and also go for 2WF feat line (previous life has mainly collected rapiers,daggers and short swords).
Finally, I read you could do a LR and go pure bard if you want the cap (keeping the race, but getting out the first obliged class level).

[unbongwah]

Bard 17 doesn't really get you much; I'd rather stop bard 18 for the core enh (18/1/1 split) or 16 (16/2/2 or 16/3/1). An extra barb level would let you take Mad Munitions (+5% glancing blows) and Supreme Cleave.

Personally I think CHA-based melee builds are a trap, particularly when you'll have both Div Might and barb Rage. And you've already invested so much into STR to get ITHF/GTHF; might as well go all the way so you can pick up Overwhelming Crit too.

[voodoogroves]

Skaldic Rage and Divine Power essentially means that any CHA bonus you have is surpassed by STR anyway. I'd probably end up swinging two longswords or bastard swords and avoid THF.

The areas I find that interesting are for other class splits or build options primarily.

Morninglord could be neat; I'd be tempted to go Rogue or Ranger and do a 16/2/2 split there.

[Olds-cool]

Been running the PDK version as a 16/2/2 (2 fighter for extra feat) and finding it extremely fun and fairly self efficient. I'm not soloing EEs or anything but my CCW's with my HAMP and Emp Healing are hitting for nearly 150 and critting upwards of 240 or so. I solo'd eH VON3 at level 21 with a level 20 ling. My dancing balls are hitting most trash and my irresistible hits a good deal of orange mini bosses.

I think farming my way through some of the EDs will be interesting as well. Currently working my way through fatesinger and then will jump into the martial sphere to work up to the perfect THF ED feat. I didn't find quicken all that helpful and swapped it to extend for my hastes and displacements. I only wish that PDKs got the dragonmarks as this is screaming for the blesser line.
