shopping list.. assistance please

[katz]

so... after going thru a bit of effort to update the gear on my monkcher (Dayre)... i realized that what was once my 3rd string back burner alt with the worst hand-me-downs now has better gear than my main. nope nope nope... Pointless needs some new digs.

i followed someone else's recommendations for gear for Dayre, but i want to formulate my own list for Pointless... as they need different things, and i just want to make sure i don't forget anything.

things i need/want:
charisma
str
insightful str
con
insightful con
dex
int
false life
vitality
perform
fort
deathblock
incorp/blurry
PRR
sheltering
protection/natural armor
deadly
dodge
resistance
free yellow slot for draconic soul gem
free clear slot for globe of blood
(all numbers as high as possible of course)


things that would be nice to have
SP
truesight
intimidate

have i missed anything glaringly obvious on this list that i MUST HAVE? note: Pointless is a gold ol' fashioned strength based greataxe swinging warchanter

Here is the 25+ list for my bard, who is a SWF swashbuckler/stalwart/trapper.

This isn’t optimal. I make the best of what I have from previous builds though
and aim for minimal swaps while leveling from 20-27.

There are a lot of ways you could gear/slot a melee bard, hopefully this gives
you a place to start and encourages discussion of other layouts.
