The Count of Monte Cristo - dps, CC, survivability focused pure swashbuckler

[CThruTheEgo]

what about using Treason?

Treason is a solid option. It has an inherent expanded threat range, so with swashbuckler stance it would end up as 13-20x3.

Uurlock is about to reincarnate into a PDK version of this. Is TN a must (think you have it for liturgy of the dead).

True neutral is not necessary. The only restriction is that bards can't be lawful. And yeah, any good alignment takes the penalty from Litany.

Planning on taking a few points and putting into Cormyrean Knight Training (use chr or str whichever is higher).

You'll already get cha to damage from swashbuckler. Cha to hit really isn't necessary and Cormyrean Knight Training limits you to short swords, which means no Balizarde if you have that option. At the bottom of the OP is a breakdown of to hit using str. When I leveled this build through heroics, I actually started with 12 str, but a difference of 2 attack essentially amounts to nothing at all with the current to hit mechanics. I played every quest in the game, excluding some raids, on an elite streak and never had a problem hitting or killing anything using str to hit. So you can use Cormyrean Knight Training but I personally don't see the point. It costs AP and limits your weapon choice for a benefit that is definitely not needed.

Ring of the Stalker / Ring of Lies for level 15. pretty much standard gear other that that (black dragon leathers or duelists) - MinII helm / ConOp goggles / Smoke bracers.

Blasting Chime useful?

Those are all solid gear choices. Blasting chime is a decent option. It's a good place to slot sonic spell power and I believe it offers more than what you'd get from lootgen/crafted at those levels. I didn't use the sonic SLAs, I wasn't impressed with them when I tried them out. But the sonic spell power from blasting chime will affect resonant arms and sword dance. They are not affected by spell crit however. Anthem is definitely not needed for heroics. It's not even needed for epics actually.

first, thank you for taking the time to answer. love your answers.

Excellent point about CKT - so will forget and use Harper instead. Love the tree - just did WF 9 fighter 9 wizard 2 rogue (fighter past lives) and was trapping EE with +90's to skills - and was a super tank with eSoS and Red Dragon Docent.

Somehow I think I ended up with two Balizarde's and two Rebellion's (think originally was going TWF for bard lives).

See you in game! Something tells me these will be some awesome lives.

[UurlockYgmeov]

Recently started Uurlock on his three bard lives. Decided to combine with PDK iconic lives. This appears to be a perfect build for that.

I promised some feedback and will start with gear. Uurlock has lots of gear, just none of the epic Orchard items, and probably won't for a spell because not spending much if any time at cap.

Did a slight variation on the build and will post the differences. Sonic Blast SLA used allot because it well dazes mobs and allows for quick coup de grace.

Mostly this post is going to cover gear from level 15 to 26. There are holes and misfits, and am looking for suggestions. I will update this post as I level through this and the next two lives.

Three bits of note:

1. this is a work in progress.
2. Deception and Improved Deception from different sources stack.
3. Different effects that lower enemy fortification stack, so Armor Piercing and Precision Stack.

[Thescalybard]

I recently just TR'd my human bard to try this build out. Do you have a break down of level by level, by chance? I'm terrible with deciding what to pick up at which level. I'd like to take her past level 20, once done pulling greensteel gear from Vale.

level by level breakdown for what information? I am following this build and found everything I would need to know on the first page of the thread

What feats he took at which levels, what skills he put points in when, things like that.

[CThruTheEgo]

...snip...

Thanks Uurlock. Good stuff. I added a link to your post in the OP under the gear section.

For the cloak at levels 20 and 24, the wolf cloak from the Eveningstar challenges might be a nice addition, primarily for the exceptional seeker. For bracers at those levels, convalescent (or lesser convalescent) are great if you have them. Bracers of Twisting Shade are also an option for exceptional seeker. For the belt I'd probably just go with the best lootgen con of false life I could find. Unless I'm missing it, I don't see either of those elsewhere during those levels.

[CThruTheEgo]

What feats he took at which levels, what skills he put points in when, things like that.

Everything is listed in the first post of the thread. The numbers in front of the feats are the levels at which they are taken.

Skills don't really matter too much. You get 6 skill points per level before any int tomes kick in, so max the important ones at each level (i.e. balance, heal, perform, umd, jump). When you've got 9 points in jump, switch that out for haggle, intim, bluff, diplo, or tumble as desired until you end up with the numbers listed for each of them. Bluff and diplo are used only for quest optionals, not during combat, and since the build is cha based, you don't even really need any points in those. Intim is rarely used in combat just to pull or hold agro, so may be worth keeping maxed as well, but it doesn't really matter too much.

Enhancements are something I change at nearly every level as I get more AP and more options become available. Just take whatever fulfills your immediate needs. My personal preference is to make offense the bigger priority (e.g. swashbuckler stance, coup de grace), but sometimes I'll find I need to focus a bit more on defense. Spellsinger is mainly for spell DCs, which you don't really need until you're near endgame. So I'd spend more in harper or warchanter before I needed the DCs.

Gear during heroics is fairly easy. I don't worry about optimal gearing before the final set because, if you don't already have that gear, you can easily level past the point of its usefulness while trying to obtain it. Just make sure you have the basics: con, cha, false life, resistance, deadly, fortification, etc., and keep those maxed for your current level. For the most part, lootgen can accomplish that nowadays. UurlockYgmeov's post above has some great gear options for level 15+.

I like your suggestions. Since he just hit 20 - will be a work in progress. You are correct - nothing of con or false life, and might have to swap deadly around. Exceptional Seeker is also a great boon, as will be ways to increase DC's. I think he really needs to go farm epic Orchard for some gear. :P

If I had a Cloak of Night (Level 24) (Invisibility Guard, Ghostly, Deathblock, Nightmare Guard, Dodge +6%, DR 10/Good) might be a choice - but also

an Epic Jeweled Cloak is also a good choice:

ML23: Inherent Elemental Resistance - 10, Spell Absorption - 20 Charges (Recharged/Day: 10), Colorless Augment Slot with any exceptional stat +1, Yellow Augment Slot

ML24: Inherent Elemental Resistance - 10, Spell Absorption - 20 Charges (Recharged/Day: 10), Colorless Augment Slot with any stat +7 or any insightful stat +2, Green Augment Slot

ML25: Inherent Elemental Resistance - 10, Spell Absorption - 25 Charges (Recharged/Day: 10), Yellow Augment Slot with any stat +7 or any insightful stat +2, Green Augment Slot

or (does sheltering stack with sapphire of PRR?)

Adamantine Cloak of the Bear (Sheltering +9, Protection +7, Combat Mastery +6, Incite +20%)

other items considering:
Gloves: Gauntlets of Immortality (Touch of Immortality, Devotion +120, Healing Lore VI, Eternal Faith, Yellow Slot, Colorless Slot)
Boots: Halcyon Boots (Halcyon Mind, Dexterity +8, Striding +30%, Potency +80, Yellow Slot, Colorless Slot)

exactly on point. one should keep playing with enhancements each level until you understand them and have something that works with your style of play.

I play with a razor 17 button mouse and so I have immediate access to 40-50 hotbar slots through the use of the mouse and the the 1-10 keys, so my play style is massively different that most, and those who play with a controller are also different.

Since the enhancement pass, it has become simple and easy and inexpensive to reset your enhancements in any public space. So experiment and have fun!

[CThruTheEgo]

as will be ways to increase DC's.

The Sage's Mantle (guaranteed end reward from the Tracker's Trap, heroic available at level 19, epic at level 27) offers the best option for enchantment DCs imo. I wouldn't bother with the heroic version because your DCs will be fine with just the enchantment +2 from the Blasting Chime. But the +5 is well worth it.

I think he really needs to go farm epic Orchard for some gear. :P

Most pieces are fairly easy to acquire and you'll get them within a few runs of the quest or chain. It's all bta so if someone doesn't need something, it's usually passed. And you get 1-2 choices of any of the epic necro gear (except mythic helms) from the chain reward, so a quick run on EN or EH is easy enough. Some pieces seem rather elusive, like the Epic Belt of Thoughtful Remembrance. I needed 2 of those and it took me about 40 or so runs before the first one even dropped. But by then I had multiples of just about everything else.

It does not.

• Heroic
  
  • Guardian's Cloak (Level 19) - Axeblock V, Spearblock V
  • Sage's Mantle (Level 19) - Enchantment Focus III, Illusion Focus II
  
  
• Epic
  
  • Guardian's Cloak (Level 27) - Axeblock VI, Spearblock VI, Accuracy VI
  • Sage's Mantle (Level 27) - Enchantment Focus V, Illusion Focus IV
    

Have the lv19 Guardian's - but excellent advice on the epic Sage's Mantle.

Funny thing is - by the time Uurlock has time to cast disco or play fascinate - the mob is usually dead. :P

Might just have to run it - or rather do an ER (or three) then an IR. Epic Belt of thoughtful is what I desire most - but the epic quiver would also go well.

It does not.

thought as much. ty.

[CThruTheEgo]

Yeah I really only use Otto's when I can plan ahead and have time to lay it down, or if I'm in a group that is clearly in over its head and needs a minute to regroup. It's quite handy in quests like Lines of Supply and Breaking the Ranks. Having everything frozen as soon as it spawns makes for some easy runs in that type of quest.

the epic quiver would also go well.

The quiver drops in the raid, and the drop rates are horrendous in there, so expect to do 20 runs to get it. You do, however, get a complete list of the raid items on every 20th, so you're guaranteed to get it.

Took 122 attempts to get 22 completions to get first Quiver of Alacrity. *chuckle* back before raid bypass timers (I feel old!) Think I want my Bauble and Torc first. :P

Blasting Chime gives +2 Evocation, not +2 Enchantment.

[CThruTheEgo]

Blasting Chime gives +2 Evocation, not +2 Enchantment.

Failed my reading comprehension check. Thanks for the correction gwonbush. I've never actually used blasting chime so I'm not too familiar with it.

You could get by without an enchantment focus item in heroics and early epics. Although it's certainly not a bad idea to have the Sage's Mantle as a swap if needed, especially considering how easy it is to obtain.

Didn't realize the numbers were the levels taken, thanks for letting me know. I'm really looking forward to working with this character as my new bard!

[pappo]

I just finished leveling the Human version to level 20. It was great fun and I had no problems with any quests on Heroic Elite.
I am not having as much luck with Epics. I ended up with 375HP at Level 20, and as you know, that is just one hit from an enemy in most Epics.
I don't try to get aggro. I rely on the Fascinates, and Disco ball usually to help my group, and melee when attacked.
What should I have ended up with at 20 for HP ?
Your build suggests 870's for final HP. Is that for the PDK version ?

So I wondered if my numbers at lvl 20 indicate that I am not geared properly, or missed something while leveling ?

The original build is not for PDK.

Uurlock has nearly 600 hp at level 20 - but he also has +6 tomes. Still sounds like your gear might be lacking something something.

As far as getting hit - the entire point of this build is it doesn't get hit that often - and has enough healing to heal up between hits.

I will take a closer look a the gear you described in your previous post. You say it was for PDK, but it should work for my human also, shouldn't it.
I can get the Tomes. I believe I have +4 Supreme Tome now.
I should not be 300HP away from you if I am following the same basic build
