* Idk the exact perform needed to lvl 5 bard song, but i think 10 is good enough

AC - 69 with +12 Dex, Haste, +5 Gear and +5 Boots
AB - 65 with Bard Song and +5 Longbow

Idk how to make the calculations so i cant say the exactly HP with +12 con but if i remeber w/o any con bonus it was around 380ish with max rolls


***IMPORTANT***

Since i made this in another server totaly different from GvM idk how the AC could be here, maybe 75ish or something wich is very nice for an archer

=============

So ?   What do you guys think ?

My Gate Crasher is something similar except that I'm going with a 5 bard/16 pm/ 19 AA split.

A few recommendations I would make are:

1) Pre epic split go lvls (1-3) bard lvls (4-9) pm lvl 10 (bard) aa (11-20) this gives you a pre epic BAB of 16 and 4 attacks a round;

2)  Feat selection:  I'm not sure why you take dodge and mobility since you aren't taking shadowdancer lvls.  I think you would find rapid shot to be more useful than either.  Blind fighting is nice but I very much suspect that it doesn't work for archery.  At least I've noticed that the 50% concealment kicks in MUCH more often when I've made blind fighting archers than when I've made blind fighting melees.  With all that dexterity I would recommend weapon finesse your AC will be a bit better than some of your part mates and you may be involuntarily called on to switch to weapon/shield and tank, this feat gives you a chance to hit something while doing so.

interesting I guess but seems pointless, when have you ever seen an archer tank...?

how could it been good for PVP the ac is only average?  And your dex based w/o uncanny dodge.  So if you are flatfooted (which happens all the time with an archer) you have even less ac.

I think this build makes more sense in a world like Antiworld, where archers can't run and shoot, mages can't spam spells, and fighters can't spam combat feats... in fact, I remember I've seen a could of those builds when I use to play there some (long) time ago.

In all honesty this type of build has very very little use at GvM other than role playing.

Mid 70's ac is fairly good but hp are low and lack of uncanny dodge/ab/damage/spell use....yeah.

The only strength this build has is decent ac and sneak/crit immunity, but lets face it, 75ac is balls for a tank. And the constant AOO's since you definite can't kill anything other than rats and bats before they are on you.
