I will be multiclassing my bard with three levels of Thief for Quick hands. Take sword bard and that gives you (with dual wield) at level 6 a bunch of spells, Two main hand attacks and two bonus off attacks. Jack of all trades. With current gear that gives extra bonus actions and momentum- my bard will be dashing in and out striking who and when she wants. Hopefully counter spell,etc can keep her from getting held, etc. Many of her spells will be used for defense and not offense.
I can already do some of this in EA…
Isn't it impossible to get counter spell with 3 levels Thief and 9 levels sword bard? Would you not need to be a lvl 10 sword bard for that, or?
