Caster/Nuker Favored Soul

[Hydro]

Been away from the game for a while and I am not positive on which spells and enhancements are worth while for a Favored Soul. I am trying to make the best "caster" FS I can and do not care about melee at all. I will be starting this charecter at level 4 which should explain my tome usage. Any advice on spells or enhancement for end game is much appreciated. Also didnt know which spell focus between Necromancy or Evocation would be most usefull. I love the instant kill spells but remember how bad SR got around level 14.

Arent FoV spells based off on Charisma instead of Wisdom?

Why both CHA and WIS so high? Why CON so low? You will be taking heat from time to time as a healer, you better off make sure you can survive it

Spell lvl, and sp gain is determined by charisma, DC and strength of spell is wisdom based, thought this was understood by the masses by now =)

Doh. Never had a FvS. Caught me wondering what was going on.

Well, now i know better ^-^

Thanks.

I am thinking about this line too but one thing that is stopping me is that they say Implosion is in a 1 minute timer. It is an aura too but I'm not sure how long it will last and how good it is on a non-melee build.

I think that will leave us with Slay Living, Destruction, Dismissal and Banishment as insta kill spells.

We get Energy Drain though at level 9 and that helps alot in high level content.

You gonna need Maximize feat I guess for Blade Barrier. And it is worth considering Harm too since you have maximize already at it is a WILL base save.
