Those that comment otherwise, may not really appreciate these characters' abilities.
On the other hand, I can easily design groups that would slaughter this dual fest party through more than half of SoA. Is this a ToB only perfect party? Are your really dualing everything at 15?
Also, multiclass works pretty well when you have ToB. With 2 classes, you will get all your spell levels (7 divine or 9 arcane), have a good attack bonus, and good HP, and more HLA.
Of course, if you stopped the cheese of Mislead phantom singing while Blade attacks, then the bard becomes less appealing even with its Improved Song. (Mislead, a sixth level spell, was meant for escape, but cheese uses it as a means of aggression.) |
Throughout SoA, there are so many "fetch and carry" "fedex" type quests, and rather few difficult battles until later in the game, so there is a lot of opportunity to get all your experience and old classes that I consider it pointless to make a great party for early-mid SoA. I could also create parties that would slaughter this one very easily in mid-SoA, anyone could, just avoid dual-classing. In late SoA, this is quite good though. Therefore, this is not a TOB only perfect party.
I'm dualling the Kensais and the Ranger at level 12 and the Swashbuckler at 15.
About boredom, I'm playing insane for this one which I've never done before. Also, I never use the ultra-cheese exploits like most of the project image tricks. In fact, I won't even use the Bounty Hunter
.
To make this a challenge though, I like to see how quickly I can finish the whole game (game time), meaning no sleeping *just* to refresh spells or *just* to heal, always going for just one more quest before resting, and usually finishing a few quests while fatigued. It also means better planning when travelling, picking spells that I might need (e.g. raise dead) instead of just sleeping to memorise it straight after the guy dies.
I did this on normal and it was about 90 days (I could have probably done that quicker) whil finishing all possible quests. Insane would make this interesting.

I don't see why.
