34 point FvS offensive caster

[Folonius]

I have a wizard I'll be TRing into a FvS almost immedietly after hitting 20. The character is a bit gimped on hp (elf con 10) but overall not doing to bad. I want to keep the offensive casting theme on him and I want the past life feat of the FvS for spell penetration when I TR him back to a wizard. I'm going to want a high wisdom for DC's on the FvS, but I'm also going to need some charisma. What would be a good balance between Wisdom and Charisma for an offensive casting FvS?

I'll also be able to take the past life feat wizard for a +1 to DC's. What spell casting school feats will I want to take as an FvS for increased DC's? Implosion is Evocation, so I'm thinking I might go with that for later levels, but not sure what else I should take in the way of increasing the DC.

I'm also thinking about going warforged for the extra HP, and with healing amps, heal should be enough when I'm able to cast it.

Any feedback or criticism is appreciated.

Thanks

You only need a 19 charisma to cast the highest level spells; so you could start with a 6 charisma and still be able to cast your spells.

Charisma gives very poor SP returns as FVS have a large SP pool, get double from items, and don't get anything (DC) other than SP from Char.

If he's going pure fvs, the capstone gives +2 charisma. I would recommend 14 charisma. 14 + +2 tome + capstone = 18, and one more you can get from enhancements or eventually from a +3 cha tome.

11 + 2 Capstone + 2 enhancements + 6 item +1 tome = 22. Build points are too precious to fritter away on excessive charisma (and 14 is definitely excessive). The above still gives disjunction-proof access to level 6 spells.

Everyone worries about being disjunction-proof but there are what 2 quests in the game with disjunction?

And you know once they start making more high level quests you'll be seeing much more disjunctions. They're probably building in anticipation of that.

Well I think the better benefit is that if you're "disjunction-proof" you don't have to wear a charisma item.

Read this about being an evoker FvS: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=199266 That's the build I follow and I love it. Yay for DC 39 blade barriers without sorcerer past lives or yugo pots.

Disjunction is not an issue in the game, really. Epic ADQ completion is a one-time event, and even that's rare now that Turbine fixed re-entry. You'll start with a 14 CHA base, with 2 from enhancements and a +2 tome you're at 18 -- high enough to cover almost everything without the capstone.

Was going to make a new thread but saw this.... do offensive caster FVS really work well in a 32-pt build? It seems like it might be too stat-intensive.
