IMHO dual classing most of the time is not worthwhile as a pure profession is usually better.

However, I have recently thought about dual classing the bard...the best thing about the bard is that haste instrument. Allows u to forget about investing in speed for all other charcs. The other obvious charcteristic about the bard is that he doesn't require much skills besides music...(assuming u don't need him as for pp or lock and trap).

So what I thought is in the beginningdump points into music...dagger skill...dual wielding etc. Once his music reaches 75...at around lvl 10-11 quickly switch him to a rouge so that the bard becomes a fairly strong combatant with backstab.

There u have it...a good fighter who can play music...and also be the important designated haste guy.
