The Ice Baron: Freeze Specced Pure Bard Swashbuckler

[wyldwolf]

Could you post a breakdown on the final stats? I have no clue how all of your stats are 5 - 10 higher than mine... *headscratch*

CHA-18+6tome+7lvls+4enhancements+11item(chord belt)+1exceptional(globe)+3insightful(optics)+2pro fane(litany)+2ship buff+2store pot+2song=58
CON-16+6tome+2enh+8item(augment)+1exceptional+3insight ful(blk dragon helm)+2profane+2WC capstone+2epic enhancement+2ship+2store pot+2rage+2song=50


I think those are probably the most significant ones.

Hope it helps.

Hey, I think unnecessarily spend 2 points on Smooth Flourishes since Cormyrean Knight Training gives you a bonus to attack and damage of charisma. I think that these points can be spent on Elegant footwork. Greetings

I don't always use a short sword....sly flourish works on everything, the PDK thing works only on short swords for SB

You should twist Reign.

Hi ! Thx for sharing this build, it's very fun.

I'm lvl 16 pdk, fighter 1, bard 15, using pdk stuff, stormsinger cloak, black dragon armor and the shortsword and swashbuckler lvl 12 from crystal cove. Got a Spare hand too for combat mastery. (I have 2 paly past life and brace)


Do you have some advice please on how to play this char, how to gear in heroic and early epic without grinding too much?

Survivability is rather nice, I'm often almost dead in elite but rarely down. CC like mass suggestion, otto's work from time to time and it's nice too. But my main problem is that I lack dps against bosses...


For enhancements, I was following you, could it be better to spend some points in fighter tree and some less in SB?

This build is totally do-able with 16Bard/2Fighter/2Rogue

I will discuss this furthur here.

Hey Macadope, you ever come up with some suggestions for this variant??

20Bard PDK

How do you make PDK with 20 bard's levels? It should have at least 1 fighter level.
