Why Staff????? Sword is much better for Bard, and if you're a Mook, you can use the Giant's Sword if you change class later.
oh, maybe Scott said staff---
I have never agreed with any of his development plans, anyway...
Solos almost MUST have Stealth, and for that a Rogue or Ninja level is nice, usually L5 so you can survive the Seekers shooting at you (see Flamestryke's site about training techniques)

As far as your combat skills, 50 should be enough, and you can work them up just as well if you are Bard or Rogue. I'd stay a Bard to L4, then go Rogue for Stealth (Shield will go up with Stealth, if you make sure your shield is armed) and practise everything, including Throw/Sling so you can use the bombs and powders more effectively.
