also very viable to do as a WF. gain the immunities and some HP, be harder to work intim with such a low int though, most likely dps would suffer a bit with that added to minus one feat. APs are pretty lose, so getting last tier of wand/scroll mastery wasn't too much of a stretch. Took human adap +con to unlock extra toughness tier as well.

Rough (maybe inaccurate) breakdowns
HP breakdown: planner total (includes enhancements and base + tome con modifiers and toughness enhancements) 356 + 30 gfl + 20 toughness + 60 con item + 40 exc con items + 45 shroud item + 10 agro favor = 561 w/o any pots, ship buffs or rage. So lazy standing HP of ship buff and rage = 601

Str breakdown: planner total = 27 (includes base, tome, enhancements) +7 (mror belt) + 3 exc (tod ring) + 2 rage + 2 ship buff +1 profane (litany situational) = 42 standing, +2 pot +6 glove = 50 self buffed but rarely done.

Intim breakdown (aim to be able to control trash/not raid bosses): +23 base +5 base cha mod +3 cha item + 1 exc mod +5 conc op GS +1 enhanc +15 item +4 GH = 57 intim. So viable intim number without taking into account ship buffs, pots or bard songs.

Unfamiliar with exact heal amp math, but the list would be: 3x10% human enhancements, 10/20% runes on DT, 30% claw gloves (still need scroll, contact me ASAP ).

Heal output overview: Heals would get full devotion enhancements, and full load of healing crit enhancements (should probably drop those). Empower healing, maximize and quicken would round out the healing output. CLWM is a current favorite with the right combo of metas burning. Costly, but quick and effective. Heal masses and full scroll enhancements for times when Sp management is needed. Which isn't often really.

Melee damage overview: Fighter haste boost, +8 seeker weap offhanded, epic claw set +4 dam(still short glove scroll, contact me reminder), Litany combat bonus, 38 standing gear only str, 42 strength with rage/ship buff only. Divine favor and divine power supported by extend. Full TWF line and fighter proficiencies. Im leaning towards heavy picks/rapiers. Decided to go with shield mastery for intim tanking instead of imp crit, so DPS against non stunned mobs will be sacrificed significantly. When using heavy picks with this much dam roll on top on stunned targets in epic seems like a worthwhile contribution. my current pure wf fvs does steady and solid damage against most anything with a really high to-hit. I think this build would be considerably more amped up compared to the pure wf fvs. I havent gotten a single SoS epic item to really spark my wf to life though. That sword might shame this build, unsure of math

Current thoughts on good pick choices.
Deathnip opening up use of litany is pretty cool. 3 pages short of a turn in. in DR situations is could be offhanded. Do have a unbound +4 holy silver heavy pick of righteousness I can use as a ghetto DR bypasser in raids. The new stonesplitter needs to be looked at closer, they sell decently cheap as well. Plan on using heavy picks through my barb lives and his bard life, so crafting a lit II isnt out of the question. (0r even more reasonably an earthgrab pick)

Build goals: I am concerned with ability to help dish out DPS in epics while functioning as the healer. Also want this to be a fairly swift toon to level, this is going to be but one stop in reckter's life But I don't want to sacrifice endgame playability. As I usually poke around at 20 and try to fill out some new gear wishlist or stock up on some epic tokens.

Charisma: 10 + 2 tome + 2 enhance + 6 item = 20. Ship buff 22. should be plenty

I don't really understand your deity choice. You aren't taking Khopesh, so why not Sovereign Host and boost longswords a bit?

Or Elf, go with scimitars, and drop GTWF or Maximize off the feat list. Alternately, since you're not planning on main tanking, Shield Mastery is an easy one to check off.

1A: Good questions both, here are my thoughts: Between the two deity choices for human: longswords for the capstone are overall the best choice. But this fella wont get capstone, so nix that angle. Outside of capstone longswords are extremely sup par, even with enhancement points spent to beef their damage a bit. So I figure I might as well get a little extra ranged punch for nothing if I am going to chose a deity. Longswords with deity enhancement will still be far far far behind other options W/O. So Longbows for the blue moon when I need to range something (between comet falls in DQ I guess?)

1B: Elf with scims = 20 less skill points (no intim) and alot less HPs (neg 30-50hp= unacceptable to me) and a loss of one feat (it would be shield mastery due to no intim or HP to support it) and an overall girly look. While using rapiers or scims damage would get a healthy boost of course. In epics while using heavy picks obviously no boost would be gained. With 2 fighter levels I can use the weapon choice that will be the best martial weap to fit the situation to maximize DPS

Shield mastery is there to support intim tanking of trash and norm dif bosses. As well as turtle up for regenerative purposes while soloing epics. If I was to drop it, I wouldnt go elf, id pick up imp crit pierce, empower or a second toughness while dropping the intim angle all together ..Shield mastery supports the decent blocking DR fvs get due to divine power, with the right shield and supportive guard/regenerative gear its extremely effective.
