My bard has always been focused on buffs and heals to be in a party. But im playing solo much more these days and he isnt as much fun this way. Can anyone reccomend a build i can use that would be good for legendary level solo play? Ideally id like to just lesser tr, so id like it to be tiefling scoundrel race and 20 lev3ls of pure bard. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Inquis w/trance via Harper or HW (cheaper vs better AF stacking) and a bit of Spellsinger/Warchanter?
41 Inquis, 21 Spellsinger, 14 Harper Int-to-everything? Sustaining Song is zero-effort full HP out-of-combat, and Inquis is very good lol.
Shiradi Mantle/T5 (HE, Stay Loud for raid dps or Stay Good for questing cc/helpless damage) + Fatesinger (strike) + SD (SA dice, DS, Evasion etc).
Or could do a thrower if you want, darts w/SB T5 or Daggers w/VKF are both pretty good. Better multiclass, but doesn't stop them from being good pure (at endgame, they're trash to level).

I ran a pure (standard) Bard earlier this year; my main objective was to help with guild/party buffs, but Spellsinger still rocks for cc with the many +DCs and Hold Monster, Mass spell from T5 and Heal from cap is lush. Splashed Swash for faster movement, deflect arrows and Uncanny Dodge (11 AP). Most of the rest into Feydark for +4 CHA, shield, saves, spell pen... it doesn't dps like a Storm Singer but i like the +5 DCs to Illusion and +7 to Enchantment which make your cc spells really effective and I found soloing and farming fairly straight forward. I love Bards!
