Thread died before I could bump it with a question edition:
What effects would come from making STR/CON, DEX/INT and WIS/CHA builds apply their secondary stat to a different NAD? How would it effect build effectiveness?

Actually okay OP.

>What effects would come from making STR/CON, DEX/INT and WIS/CHA builds apply their secondary stat to a different NAD? How would it effect build effectiveness?

STR/CON is still fucked in the skills department, and all but INT/DEX are possibly fucked in the AC department without the right type of armor, but otherwise it should help a lot.

...

Don't all the STR/CON and WIS/CHA builds have heavy armor? I can't remember all of them, but clerics and bards have chain.

Barbarians only have hide, but STR/CON opens up heavy armor feats as an option.

They should, yeah, I just wasn't sure.

Bards seem kind of shafted on power variety, since their powers are split between implement, melee weapons and ranged weapons. Plus they don't get a weapliment without specific enchantments. And they don't get 'melee or ranged weapon' powers like the ranger, rogue, etc.

With the multiclass feat feature, I get the feeling bards were intended to poach powers from other classes as a matter of course.

How fucked are avengers in heroic tier? I wanna be a dex/wis focused avenger but I know chaser avengers kinda suck

Daggers, Farbond Spellblade, Drow Long Knifes...

Bards, I feel, were almost designed as Int being one that uses implement a lot, Wis being ranged and Con being melee. Thus, unlike the Arti, the Bard was set in his path from the start.

They did leave the options available, but it's clearly not the main objective.

Multiclass Swordmage and grab a Farbond weapon.

Now your weapon functions as an implenment, and both a melee and ranged weapon. Now pick your powers freely.

Oh my, this presents possibilities.
