Wondering if I did something wrong.

[Azarith_Stryffe]

Hi everyone,

First time poster and haven't been playing real long. I was wondering cause I was reading the other threads about FvS. And wondering if I did something wrong with my build. I'm a Human FvS, level 3 now. My stats are

STR-14
Dex-14
Con-10
Wis-12
INT-10
CHA-16

Now I saw that most people didn't build like I did. Did I do something wrong and should I remake before I get too high level?

Thanks for the help

Your build looks kinda general and at end game wont beable to have the DC to cast and with 14 str and 14 dex ya wont beable to take either TWF or THF to go a more Spec Melee DPS.

This is a great Offensive Casting Build

Great Melee Build

Granted this melee build is a WF and not Human but it shows ya how the stats are.

Wis is for your Spell DC. So, it is too low for a caster build. Also, you did not include feats and such so it is hard to judge any offset (by gear,feat or whatever) for a perceived deficit.

I'm remaking my FvS. What is better for soloing, melee FvS or offensive spell casting?

That's debatable, but I personally like melee because you can save most of your spell points for buffs and healing yourself and do decent damage with weapons.

At lower levels: melee. At higher (particularly when you have blade barrier, but possibly before): casting. It comes down to the number of spell points you have (need enough to last through a dungeon, and at lower levels you dont) and the efficiency of swinging a sword vs. swinging your finger.

Melee still has a heavy place in the high levels. There's plenty of monsters who are immune (or virtually immune) to instant-death effects, and whose combat behavior makes blade barrier completely impractical for killing them.
