Hold and Smoke Em 18wiz/2rog/1fvs

[Resilian]

(Title should say 18wiz/2rog plz fix)

The point of this build is to be able to run into a bunch of monsters, mass hold them, and then firewall them while the melee's whack away. I know in theory it sounds good, but I don't actually know how well it will work once applied. I am aiming it for a shroud farming toon if nothing else.

I figure with the right gear..all that toughness and DR will help a lot for running into the mobs, and on top of that..there isn't a whole lot of enhancements/feats needed for this specific build so I went with it.

Tell me how crazy I am, and if at all possible, critique the build to work for my idea instead of dogging it to the floor. :3

HP breakdown
260=20 Con (from 1 Toughness Feat, WF Con I & II, Racial Toughness 1-3)
10 (Draconic Vitality)
60 (+6 Con item)
45 (Shroud HP item)
30 (GFL)
20 (toughness item)
---------------------------
425 HP
20 (+2 Exc Con)
20 (+1 Exc Con+ Litany gets to even)
----------------------------------------
465 HP
40 Yugo pot(15:00) Essence of Desire: +2 CON, +20 HP, -5% melee speed
------------
Max 505 HP -- and more with a con tome.

DR 5/Adamantine

My biggest question is..the two DR feats I took..would it be better to use toughness in both of those slots for additional HP when running into the mobs, or better yet M.Toughness/Imp M.Toughness for more sp? Or hell..possibly SF: Necro / GSF: Necro for WotB/FoD? A lot of possibilities, and I think it'll end up coming down to preference. Hmm..forgot about Quicken for Reconstruct..meh..I'm open to critique on the feats. :3

Note to self: Remember to /facepalm when you find out that you do NOT get double SP benefit from items with just one level of FvS. It is calculated based on the number of FvS levels you have total.

Derp! I knew there was a flaw in that thinking.. Well, is it still a waste for the divine scrolls w/o umd? Or should I just get another level of wizard, and pump in umd? (Figured it'd suck to pump up with an 8 cha)

Also remember to /facepalm when you realise that one level of FvS will not allow you to use all divine scrolls without failure. Advice? Go 18/2 wiz/rog and pump UMD.

firewall in shroud ?

firewall in shroud ?

Well I wasn't saying I'd firewall in shroud, just that in most stuff I cold hold and drop some FW's. That said..mass hold monster in shroud is also not always that great. The reason I called it a shroud farmer was because I didn't plan on using it for much else passed norm shroud..ie; no epics, no tod, etc. Though I can definitely say if this build is deemed epic capable, i'd totally go for it.
