Poll - which class split to have before 20

[blacksoft]

Endbuild: 12 fighter / 5 Swashbuckler / 5 Frenzied Beserker / 8 Duelist.

Currently level 12: 4 fighter / 5 Swashbuckler / 3 Frenzied Beserker.

Will definitely take 5 levels Duelist and 1 level fighter (so can get combat insight at 21) before 20.

Question is: 5 fighter / 5 Swashbuckler / 5 Frenzied Beserker/ 5 Duelist at 20. Means 3 less ac or more since currently have +2 dodge boots.

Or

5 fighter / 5 Swashbuckler / 3 FB / 7 Duelist before 20. No enhanced PA

Epic levels will be fighter until 12 then finish duelist and/or FB depending.

I had always planned to take 5 FB before 20. But want to make sure before I commit.

Edit: Will have Improved PA feat before 20.

Edit 2: will have Parry skill maxed. Natural 20 Dex and 19 int by level 20.

Thanks.

Are you ranking Parry? If yes, Duelist 7 ASAP sounds good. Simply because it frees up an item slot to use while giving you equal/more deflect AC than you'd otherwise get.
