Some more brainstorming. With APs probably going into unlocking Deepwood Sniper Cores. Is there a compelling reason for rogue 4? Bard 12 / ranger 6 / rogue 2 would gain another Swashbuckler core.
I leveled the wizard build to 16 now. Very smooth and I like the combination of solid throwing damage layered with some wizard offense (currently using AoE and some DoTs even in boss fights) and defense a lot so far. This would synergize *a lot* better, if I put more effort in some spell damage equipment. Hard to fit, though.
With the level order I had to do on the fly, I'll unlock CDG at cap, so it's still not a full potential.
