Help with a Bard/Arcane Archer build

I am trying to decide between 18Bard/19Arcane Archer, or 8Bard/29Arcane Archer. The other 3 is in Monk.
Which would be better for mostly solo play? And is it worth it to pick up Ambidextry/2Weapon + Weapon Focus for Kama, in addition to my AA longbow, or is it very bad to mix weapon types? I am a little worried about running out of Feats as I've usually played Fighters in the past and got used to having a lot of those

18 bard? not much point in taking that many bard, unless you're going to take more and get lasting inspiration for a better song. same with monk. 1 monk gives the wiz ac bonus, which is pretty much all you need in your build, unless you're taking more for monk speed. i've tested a 1 monk 9 aa 30 bard that was ok. something like a 2 monk 8 bard 30 aa would get a higher ab. or 10 monk 1 bard 29 aa. 29 aa is the last possible lvl that gets the +1 ab, but 30 aa is the last lvl that gets a bonus epic feat.
keep in mind that monk/bard combos require trips to the cave.
the melee feats make lvling easier, if you haven't already stocked a huge supply of arrowheads. but your final toon will suffer.

NeverSummer East has no options for intentional "delevelling" of a character if one makes a mistake at a certain point, does it? (I don't think it ever used to but there were a lot of changes since I played last, at least new stuff on East).
Also, will Pacific ever get the East server new stuff, or will it be staying "classic 3.5"?

no, delvls are not available on any server. not even from DMs.

You could always test out the build you have in mind at Zing's NS Dojo. Kudos to you Zing!

And brash, a fix of sorts for Pacific's lack of update is coming soon.

No, better than that. Keep your eyes on the PW Action list.
