Alternate Charisma Build - First-Life and Solo-Friendly
The goal of this build is to provide an option for a first-life player that works in a group setting but is also solo-friendly when nobody is available to group with. This build prioritizes having multiple spellpowers (positive, negative, fire, light/alignment, force) to make use of all the best favored soul spells. On a first life build you will want to fully meta all slas and use unmetad spells to conserve spell points when soloing.
Some other features of this build is automatic debuffing (reflex save from magister, will save from crushing despair proc on pendant of bottled moonlight) and a high diversity of spells to deal with immunities and resistances.

ENHANCEMENTS - Raid Healing Spec (For Raids and Parties where groups want you to over-weight healing)
Beacon of Hope - 41
Dragonborn - 18
Angel of Vengeance - 21
Note: I don't find healing wall necessary for questing unless you are with a high-need group, but you might need to make the switch if the party needs more healing than usual. For raids you will need to make this change every time because you never know when you might be called into healing mode even if there is another primary healer.
Note: These stats include some raiding gear but the build will be more than strong enough to join casual LN-R1 raids to acquire the gear without first having the gear. This is something to work up to, but the build will perform fine with non-raid replacements.
