I've been wanting to play a RBV for a while so started working up a few builds. Here is one for consideration and discussion.
I realize that going SpellDancer is probably not the most optimal due to all those sucky prereqs but the Spell Dance itself should make up for that.

Bottom line is to begin using Spell Dancing for Persisted Spells at 10th level and develop further from there.
Of course will finish out RKV and would likely take more Spell Dancer and Inquisitor levels to Stagger the RKV levels particularly after reaching Divine Impetus.
Thoughts?
