I currently am running a 4x120 bard w/ 120 magery (100 is real)... I only have room in this template for 100 real skill points and got to thinking of squeezing more power out by getting rid of the magery and going to spellweaving....
current build:
120 all bard skills
120 magery (100 real)
100 hiding
80 stealth (40 real)
Right now, my damaging spells is pretty much limited to EV's and Corp Por's... I do not run eval, so.... I figured SW will give more options for my bard being able to damage, and i've heard that nature's fury are each nearly as powerful as an EV when accompanied by a level 5 or 6 arcane circle gem (5 furies > 2 EV's).... plus finishing something off with WOD could be a big benefit...
I realize I will be having to resort to pots for healing, cures... and will have to travel by charged runebook.... my biggest headache I think will be having to rely on pots for invisibility, which I use often as a way to cancel aggro between provocations and failed disco attempts.... but if SW makes managing big game easier (lol or possible), I just might do it...
Any thoughts on the above? Any persons out there that use their bard with SW? Will SW as a standalone skill beat magery as a standalone skill when it comes to overall damaging spells and usefulness to a bard like mine? Thanks for any ideas
