[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4738250, member: 54846"] I see a lot of Arcane Power 2 nuggets. The new Bard (Virtue of Prescience) build has Wisdom as a secondary, and favors Ranged attacks. Combat Virtuoso, a "neat Bard feat", allows the use of Charisma for multiclass attack rolls. Paragon feats: Armor Specialization, Mettle, and Disenheartening Shot. Also Quickened Spellcasting (Not sure if it's Epic or not). Warding Curse (Warlock) feat grants +2 to defenses vs. Cursed foes. New At-Will: Jinx Shot. Various tidbits about some powers' effects, particularly ranged attack powers. As a side note, it annoyed me that the guy writing the article is just "All I want is damage damage damage". Yeah, but what about being a [I]bard[/I]? Where's the [B]arcane[/B] part of the "Arcane Archer" he set out to make? Dude comes off more as an archer who carries a tune, than doing the leader thing, or anything arcane-related. The way I read this, it feels like the guy would have been better served to just take the Ranger class, and multi-class, instead of going the Bard route, since he's far happier with high-damage ranger powers than Bard powers. Also, he never picked up more than two first level rituals? What the hell? [/QUOTE]
