Looking for 36pt Swashbuckler Build

[KevinLoslorien]

Had past lives monk and sorc (and pdk, if that counts), currently going to 3rd life. Was thinking about spending most enhancements on swashbuckler prestige (buckler). Ate a +6 supreme ability tome. Still considering between human for extra feats or halfling for the bonuses. I need some advice as to how to build this. Lastly, I will be getting EDs after heroics.

Pick any of the various posted. It hardly matters. Take the SWFs, precision, spend 40ish points in the swash tree and the 5-6 bard levels needed to do that, and you could probably take commoner for the rest of your levels and be just fine. Get a TAB, and, if you can, a cove shield (the level 4, tier 3 is great, any any higher of any tier will do -- you just want guardbreaking on it). Go enjoy one-shotting things when you crit (which is 1/3rd of the time you swing) from 4 to 12ish.

Check out The Count of Monte Cristo in my sig. It's got nearly everything you could want in a build – dps, self healing, CC, damage avoidance, damage mitigation, no fail instakill, party support through buffs and backup group healing, and it's a blast to play.

Thanks for the input. One shotting and being evasive is what I'm looking for, glad I crafted a bunch of cove items, almost forgot about those

Thanks for this. Solid build/guide, gives me insight for swashbuckling.
