Human Offensive FvS

[LuKaSu]

My first posted build for offensive favored soul (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=296471) was for an elf, but got lots of advice that resonated that Human would be much better for many reasons. Here's my most recent try for a human offensive caster. I'll be editing it as I receive advice. This post is primarily to have it bookmarked for easy reference.

Honestly, I'm more of a Cleric type, but I've gotten sort of tired of Pugs where the one dumb zerger keeps almost getting himself killed and I have to use most of my blue bar healing one guy. My current solution is a one-strike rule, where I heal you from the results of stupidity once, then I only heal you when you stay with the rest of the pack from then on. I have a WF melee-focused favored soul that I play with my wife, and when I join groups, I'm often asked if I am a healer, as though favored souls are welcomed either way, but not expected to nanny everybody all the time. I like that. So, I'm planning my next character to be a favored soul, but focus more on the offensive side of things. I'm focused primarily on offense, but I'll always have the heart of a healer (I can't roll pure barbarians, fighters, rogues, or monks. Only those who can, at minimum, heal themselves from level 1, even if through wands). You'll notice especially at high levels, I take lots of healing spells. Not to crowd out the offense, but definitely enough to keep a party on its feet.
