Taking max healing enhancements, mostly going to melee and throw mass heals as much as I can to keep group up, but will step back and heal when necessary. No imp crit because I plan on having dual min 2’s.

Took empower and put a little into wisdom for those times I wanna throw down blade barriers or do a firestorm etc. I know the dc will not be the best, and that empower does less than maximize, but fvs get enhancements to lower the cost of empower spell.

One question I have is about gear, I know now the best place to have your potency is sos armor gtr potency 7, but next mod that will not be best because of lvl 8 and 9 spells, so will being melee and having potency be too hard to get? I know getting potency weps will be easy for the highest level of spells, but will I still be able to have 2 minerals out and have potency else where, like helms, armor etc?

Please critique my build and let me know of any changes you would do.

gr pot 7 or sup pot 6 is more then enough, there are no lvl8 or 9 spells which are worth it to use for dmg/healing

Mass cure crit?

Mass cure crit?

Mass Cure Serious and Mass Cure Moderate are more mana efficient. You'd be better off using them.

Ah, never knew that, good to know, hmm guess I won't need anything more than gtr potency 7 awesome.

I have an elf version planned out if you want to look at it for ideas (click the Cleansoul link in my sig).

You may want to increase wisdom and decrease str (to 14) and cha (to 8), depending on playstyle. DC to me is more or less an all or nothing prospect.

I'll make it easy on you. Warchanter Necklace gives Superior Potency VI on your necklace slot.

Originally I had that, but in order to make use of my dcs, I'd need more feats like spell pen etc, and that would take away from melee too much after the feats and decrease of str, so I decided to go with a melee focus. I'm really not going to cast offensive spells very much, but figured I'd get a little wisdom for will save and the rare times I do need to to a little damage.

Other than that I'm gonna be a front line tank that will throw masses to keep the group up, but will back out and heal when necessary.

And cha to 8, I'll take a look at. My main reason for not going lower was to save the action points, costs 6 ap.

Another good point, although I'm pretty sure I'm going to have the hound necklace there, but with all the new loot coming I might change my mind.

Oh and Dark, my main reason for going human over elf was the extra feat and the enhancements that add to stats helped getting my str up. I had an elf build earlier with scimies, but I figured I could use the human's extra feat for khopesh and get a little bit of extra dps.

I know elves can get their scimy dps close if not the same with all their enhancements, but khopesh is bout the same, or higher with no enhancements.

That's what I thought originally too, until I ran the numbers.

To my surprise, on a FvS, elf with scimi beats human with khopeshes. Counter intuitive, but true. The increased threat range is also better for stat damage and radiance procs.

The difference in dps is not massive, but it's there.

Now that IS interesting. Had wondered about the numbers since an Elf FvS get +3 to hit and +6 to damage with FvS granted feats and enhancements vs no bonuses with Human Khopesh. My gut feeling at first was that the khopesh is better vs no-fort enemies and elf FvS scimy pulls ahead with higher fort due to the static bonuses.

I guess Human TWF Khopesh Fleric with Divine Might would be better than an Elf FvS for as long as you have turns to keep DM up.
