Thank you for all your time and effort.

For a legacy spellsword, 23 spellsword 4 fighter 3 rogue is best, IMO.
Re: Advantage of going straight spellsword?
at the moment, no advantage of going pure. eventually thwre will be a level 28 cookie when I think of one
discipline bonus will end up being tied to being pure

Honestly, on a legacy 4 APR-without-fighter spellsword? I'd consider 26-27 spellsword/3-4 bard. One of the classes biggest weaknesses is getting dispelled after all. You lose 3 feats (and I GUESS some damage but I don't think most people are running with EWS on them these days anyway), but gain one in epic.TimeAdept wrote:For a legacy spellsword, 23 spellsword 4 fighter 3 rogue is best, IMO.
Edit: Of course, by the time you're hype for that disc/tumble dump kirito might've given them their backlash wave capstone

Re: Advantage of going straight spellsword?
The big reason that you run 27/3 on a legacy spellsword is imbue DCs. It takes the imbues from DC 37 for a 23 wizard spellsword, to 41 -- Which takes them from "Some people will reliably fail them" to "Most people will reliably fail them." This is pretty valuable when you're relying on imbues to carry you in hard fights.

Most people aren’t running EWS on them anymore because most builds won’t take a fighter level in epics after the BAB change.One Two Three Five wrote:Honestly, on a legacy 4 APR-without-fighter spellsword?
