Dex Bard Ubergear: do I need to buy Finess?

[Bovine_Intervention_ns3]

I've been a very lazy dex bard and still have yet to buy up Weapon Finess as of level 29. I get the feat through my current armor (robes of the Skald) but I know that's far from end-gear for my toon. The question is: do I need to blow a feat to get Finess or will I find it on the Harmony armor or similar?

Also, I heard there's a Triton weapon or two which are bard specific. Can anybody tell me which one(s) or which color(s)? I'd be happy to make another run and find the stats on my own if I just knew which one to pick. Hopefully it's a rapier as they are a) sexy and b) my toon's weapon of choice.

I think that's it for now.

There are no bonus feats on triton weapons - that I can recal .

Harmony armor offers Dodge and Mobility bonuses.

Hide of the Gnoll does have Weapon Finness , however it too is not an NS item.

If you are a dext toon and plan on upgrading to NS later I see few options.

Sabars choosen has weapon finesse...if you duel weild and use that in your off hand you can use a triton in the other....this comes at the expense of a shield though and probably isnt worth doing.

Caveat: use of a shield will cap your dext bonus.. however you usually get a higher AC bonus from some shields anyway, and certainly damage reductions too. Just a thought.

Correct me if I'm wrong - there is both a short and rapier of the chosen no?

yes there is a ss and rapier
