LF Advice on Feat

[mikarddo]

Greetings

I play a lvl 24 caster FvS with a single Wiz PL currently at 40 spell pen. I never melee, often solo but enjoy healing when grouped as well as offensive casting. I dont (yet) run EE only EH and have started raiding with 3 friends in our small guild. TR isnt going to happen anytime soon.

I currently have these 10 feat.
Max, Emp, Emp Heal
Quick, Height, Tough
SP, GSP, ESP
Wiz PL
However, I am pondering what to do when I have crossed the ED map and can take the twists to up my evoc DC by 5 as those require SF: Evoc.

I am considering dropping
- Empower though I like the extra spell power on SLA in particular but also on BB and DP.
- Wiz PL though I like the extra +1 DC to all and the 10 magic missiles
- ESP as I never seem to fail SR checks with 40 spell pen (remember, I am not running EE) - but losing 4 spell pen seems rough.

Any advice is most welcome.

Why do you feel like you need Empower Healing? Most caster Favored Souls don't take it, mainly because you can heal well enough with Mass Heal in EN-EH content, and EE doesn't require much either (and you said that's not your bent).

Really, only 3 kinds of people take Empower Heal: WF Favored Souls because they're not casters, so it's more efficient for them; Clerics, because it's required for Radiant Servant and is free on the SLAs anyway; and healbots, because they really want to be the absolute best at a niche that doesn't really need to be that focued. I would deeply encourage you to drop Empower Healing for SF: Evocation. Any other feat will impact having a casting focus, and the larger FvS mana pool combined with good Devotion items means it's not really needed anyway.
