Well, this is a Bard Build....
Great to play if you forget about composing music the normal way, and take some "create Songs".
Other than that, the only other option I see for a Bard to play is to go through the path of Leadership, summoning and so on.
However, just by investing a very little bit into creat songs, it becomes really powerfull if you take care of your charisma and music. A VERY EASY char to play once you get close to 20 lvls. Turn on your passives, and improve your speed, get your Magic defenses up and some armor, and just move around.
Started by getting a single lvl on create songs and put the rest into improved songs to 10. Then a point more on create songs, and the rest into Bardic Grandeur for the Magic res and armor bonuses.
I was not really sure as to how to proceed from here, other than keep improving the same.. which was turning into a rather boring gameplay, as all it took was to walk around choosing the correct passive element, with a very unusual change to heal effect.
Cant test it on build 3. The converter gives me an error:
