Advice on Dawnflower Dervish skirmisher


Advice


Hey guys,

Looking for some advice on a Dawnflower Dervish bard archetype for WotR. I'm planning on picking up Mythic Vital Strike and having lots of fun with a skirmish type build. We've got two front liner fighters (Paladin Divine Defender) and a straight Barbarian.

I'm looking for advice on whether Mobility is worth the two feat expenditure? The character is going to have a high Acrobatics skill bonus due to Versatile Performance (Dance skill) w/ Half-elf skill focus invested into Perform: Dance.

Given that I'll have access to a high Acrobatics modifier, is Mobility really worth it? Being a bard I'm not going to have access to a large number of feats and I don't want to spend feat slots on feats I don't necessarily need. I don't have much experience with skirmishing in Pathfinder and looking for advice from those who do. Thanks all!

We actually have a pair of 'Dervish of Dawn' Bards in our WotR group (twin Aasimars), but since I use the d20 site I get my terminology confused a bit - is that the same archetype you're talking about?

If so, while our pair take advantage of a number of teamwork feats to use together and even though we're not using the Mythic rules, I do have the core build they were originally taken from that I can offer you. Something to consider is a couple of levels of Fighter, perhaps Lore Warden, to get those feats you need - if you're going Mythic Vital Strike with the intent of skirmishing, Spring Attack is also definitely worth thinking about... assuming of course that you can get your GM on board with combining the two actions since it makes 0 sense that you can't RAW.
