Null Blade Warchanter Build

[Greywolf]

36 Point Dragonborn 18 Bard / 1 Favored Soul / 1 Fighter

I have been doing different Warchanter builds for racial lives, and decided to do one around the Null Blade, getting strikethrough with THF / SWF / Shield Mastery styles at cap, leveling with THF. I used a Two Hander from 1-10, used Festival Icy Bursted Keen Vorpal Greatsword 1-3, Nightbringer's Wake from 4-10, Null Blade + Frostforged Buckler 11-18, Star of Day + Frostforged Buckler 20-28, Legendary Null Blade + Legendary Frostforged Buckler at cap. Getting Strikethrough on Frozen Fury and Blow by Blow is kind of like having another mini Spinning Ice and another mini En Point. This has been pretty fun, so I thought I would share my build choices.

I am still working on leveling sentience in Legendary Null Blade, and my Minor Artifact: Baphomet's Reign. At the moment, I have 4x Dreadbringer in the weapon, and 3x Abiding Path in the Artifact. That nets +4 stun DCs.

And the Null Blade looks pretty cool:

Any particular reason you don't start using the Sun Blade at level 6? This otherwise looks like an interesting build, although I personally wouldn't bother with Extend.

Two reasons why I didn't bother with Sun Blade at level 6: First, It is kind of a weak weapon, aside from the strikethrough capability. Also, at that level, I did not have enough AP to have the CHA to hit/dmg + Warchanter goodies + Swash. I focused on Feydark + Warchanter at the outset.

I agree mostly with Extend, it is really just useful for haste (5 minute haste is nice), and without it, you can just re-cast it along with your trance. I felt that I had the feat slot to spare, not sure what I would take instead, improved shield bash perhaps.
