Theory Crafting exercise: Rogue

[Nightmanis]

This will be just a simple setup for now.

13 Rogue, 6 Bard, 1 Fighter

Human, Male

Feats: 6 normal, 1 human, 3 epic, 2 destiny, 1 fighter, 2 Rogue
THF
ITHF
GTHF
Power Attack
Cleave
Great Cleave
Improved Critical Slashing
Improved Evasion
Opportunist
Overwhelming Critical
Blinding speed
Toughness
PTWF
PTHF

Enhancements:

Thief acrobat: No mercy, Kip up
Warchanter: Spinning Ice, Howl of the North, Chant of Power
Kensei: Extra Action boosts

Idea: Falchion, freeze everything around me, enjoy more damage and tons of sneak attack while cleaving like a madman. Also, a couple fascinates.

Staff isn't a great idea because I'm limited to Sireth as being any good, and without access to staff specialization a Thundeforged Falchion is just outright better.

Other options I'd be willing to try:
SWF with a bastard sword (39% glancing blow damage, increased attack speed, offhand an orb for extra fun)
1 fvs for divine might, although I'm extremely addicted to action boosts.
1 Cleric for divine might, I keep heavy armour prof which with the upcoming armour pass could actually be an interesting choice.

12 Rogue 5 Bard 3 Fighter: Shadow Guardian version. If I could spare the AP, go and get +6 str from stalwart plus some other defensive bonuses and wear the shadowscale fullplate for some uber defenses. Drop Improved Evasion.

Have you thought of 7 Bard for 2 of Displacement, Haste, and CSW?

Have you thought of 7 Bard for 2 of Displacement, Haste, and CSW?

I was going to do cocoon for healing (I'm more planning for 20+) so CSW wouldn't be needed. Looking at the spell list good hope does become a nice idea for a bit extra damage. Blinding speed means Haste isn't needed.

That is a good point though. 12 Rogue 7 Bard 1 fighter. Good alternative.

Swap toughness for empower healing. Totally forgot about that.
