Metas for battle soul

[Trivius]

I'm building a TWF Drow Battle Soul and I'm stuck with less options for metas of course. Right now, I'm considering 2 of them out of all and I'm wondering which 2 would be the most important.. now I'm also possibly considering dropping a feat later for a 3rd meta but for now it's 2.

I'm thinking extend/quicken, empower/quicken, or maximize/quicken. This battle soul will of course still be healing while mixing it up and buffing. I've also considered not doing empower and doing empower healing since even with the enhancements empower will only be 1 pt. cheaper and going healing will free up a few enhancements.

Like i said though, i may in the future decide to drop improved crit for a 3rd meta but i haven't decided yet because of many variables.

So far it's working great btw :D I'm sure she'll be no WF or Human but hey, it's about the fun right?

I'd go Empower / Quicken. FVS get an empower reduction and it will function on heals as well as your blade barrier.

(That's my plan at least)

At level cap: Quicken and Empower Healing

Prior to the level cap: Quicken and Maximize


- until endgame, Empower Healing isn't important as a Heal spell will fill up almost anyone without it, but at endgame, this is no longer the case. Until that point, Maximize is the best healing feat as well as the best Bladebarrier feat, until you get past the levels (12-19) where Bladebarrier is powerful.

I would stick with Quicken and Maximize*.


*: I have two FvS at cap, one with Empower Healing and one without. The only thing is that healing is easier on the one with Empower Healing, but not so much as to cripple the one without.

Having also two capped fvses, I second the quicken+maximize option.

Empower healing? Is there such a feat at all? Oh you must mean the thing clerics use to power their glittering sparklies to attract rainbow unicorns...

1. Quicken
2. Max
3. Extend

Even at "end-game" if you solo at all you might want to toss a BB out.

No, only Empower Healing works for heals. Empower is only ok for cures. This is why quite many switch to Empower Healing at higher levels when spell points are plenty and if they want to make good use of mass heals.

Quicken and maximize while leveling. Even with starting 6 widome i found blade barrier very powerful when soloing.

By endgame, quicken and empowered healing, because Mass Heal will be your most commonly used healing spell. l

This. I have never had Empower Healing on either capped FvS and never had a problem with mass heals in any senario in game.

Quicken + Maximize. I was running 3 capped healers for a long time until I turned my cleric into a Bard. Empower Healing is not worth the feat slot on a Favored Soul unless you run around with a bunch of low heal amp Warforged. If that is the case, you should let them die until they TR as Half-Orcs :)

Haven't you done any PUG shrouds lately? ;)

Heals, generically. Sorry.

Sirgog's comments are the best though. If you're feat constrained you're going to want to swap ... and TWF builds are going to be feat constrained.

... for a TWF build... I 100% agree.

Quicken and empower healing. Swap to empower heal from maximize as soon as you get mass heal. At endgame I highly reccomend quicken, empower heal, AND extend on a melee soul. Extend for longer short term buffs that you will use a LOT such as divine power, divine favour, prayer, recitation and holy aura.
