BUILD REQUEST: 2022 Dagger Thrower Leveling Guide for 11 Rog/6 Rgr/3 Bard

[Argulus]

I have gone through this thread (and a BUNCH of other ones). I keep seeing references to coming across "the" 11 rogue/6 ranger/3 bard build, but have been unable to find a leveling guide. Plenty of references to the order not being a big deal, but a list of the feats that should be taken. I appreciate all of that information, but am a little new to DDO. I also know that it is not a great build, but have already gotten the Visanti Enh Tree.
Soooooo . . . would REALLY appreciate it if someone could put together a leveling guide. I keep coming across references that have back and forth comments, such as taking SWF prior to getting TWF at Ranger 2. Some reference to it benefitting part of the Bard enhancements. This is why I am hoping for some help.

Would like to go Drow (not Halfling, though I understand why that is suggested), Vistani capstone with DWS for Sniper Shot and SWB. This would be for a 28 pt build. Also, weapon suggestions that are really good for certain level ranges would be appreciated.

This forum's mass experience and wisdom would be hugely helpful and MUCH APPRECIATED.

Alternately, if anyone could link a build that they were able to find of this type of character, that would be super appreciated as well.

Reverse-engineering a basic build is not that hard. This presumes you have Vistani Knife Fighter and either Harper Agent or Horizon Walker so you can pick up a Battle Trance. I'll use drow but any +DEX race would work fine. My preferred builder hasn't been updated for level 32 yet so you'll have to figure out the last two levels on your own.

Feats

 1        : Point Blank Shot
 3        : Simple Thrown Expertise
 6        : Precision
 9        : Multitude of Missiles
12        : Improved Critical: Thrown
15        : Improved Precise Shot
18        : Luck of Heroes
21 Epic   : Overwhelming Critical
22 Destiny: Holy Strike OR Pierce Damage Reduction: Silver
24 Epic   : Combat Archery
25 Destiny: Doubleshot
27 Epic   : Watchful Eye
28 Destiny: Embodiment of Law OR Harbinger of Chaos
30 Epic   : Epic Damage Reduction
30 Legend : Scion of: Ethereal Plane

19 Rogue  : Opportunist OR Improved Evasion

 5 Ranger : Favored Enemy: Construct
 9 Ranger : Favored Enemy: Giant

In terms of Enhancements, the must-haves IMO are:

• 11 APs Deepwood Stalker for Ranged Power Boost + Sniper Shot
• 11 APs Swashbuckler for Swashbuckling, Doubleshot Boost, and Dashing Scoundrel
• 11 APs Vistani Knife Fighter for free Quick Draw, Rapid Throw (+20% Doubleshot), Haste Boost, and +5% Doubleshot
• 6-13 APs reserved for either Know the Angles or No Step Missed

Don't forget to grab DEX to thrown damage from somewhere like Improved Weapon Finesse or Swift Strikes. So the exact leveling order is up to you but it will be something like this thru level 8:

Leveling Guide

1. Vis0 Knife Expertise; Vis1 Rapid Slash
2. Vis1 Mist Stalker; Vis2 Haste Boost I, II, III
3. Vis0 Knife Juggler; Swa0 Confidence; Swa1 On Your Toes I; Swa1 Blow By Blow: Range I
4. Swa1 Blow By Blow: Range II, III; Swa0 Swashbuckling
5. DS0 Far Shot; DS1 Stealthy I, II, III; Vis1 Undead Hunter
6. Vis0 Quick Reflexes; DS1 Favored Defense I; DS2 Improved Weapon Finesse; DS2 Melee/Range Power Boost I
7. DS2 Melee/Range Power Boost II, III; Swa2 Double Shot Boost I
8. DS0 Sneak Attack; Swa2 Double Shot Boost II; Swa3 Dashing Scoundrel

Beyond that, you'll need to decide if you're going for tier-5 Deepwood Stalker or the Vistani capstone, because you don't have enough APs for both:

• T5 DWS: +20% Doubleshot, Improved Archer's Focus, Heavy Draw, extra Favored Enemy
• VKF cap: +5% attack speed, +20 Ranged Power

You asked for Vistani capstone so let's go with that.
