The Burning Soul

[Xyfiel]

Only listing the build basics so you can fine tune as you desire. Purpose of build is to be an Evoker, but with a slight twist.

Half Elf 20 FvS
Alignment any non good(for litany of the dead)
2x Sorc TR(for evocation dc's)

Stats:
Wisdom = Max, all level up points, +6 item, +3 exceptional, etc. 44 possible with +3 tome
Charisma = Max, same as wisdom but no level up points and +2 capstone. 42 possible with +3 tome. For 32/34 points, go 16-17
Constitution = 12-14 depending on 32/34/36 build. 30 possible with +3 tome.
Intelligence = +2 tome at level 7

Skills:
Max Umd, rest concentation. For jump, get the jump clicky from Shavarath.

Feats:
dragonmark of storm x3
maximize
empower
extend
quicken
monk dilettante
Silver Flame
I really want heighten and toughness, but extend and quicken are more useful.

Enhancements:
(28)Half Elf = Human recovery II(6), Monk recovery II(6 from dilettante), Human wisdom and charisma I(6), extra dragonmark IV(10)
(52)Fvs = charisma III(12), wisdom II(6), Silver Flame capstone(2), Life Magic IV(10), wand mastery II(3), Smiting IV(10), prayer of smiting III(6), incredible smiting II(3)

Hps: 400-500+
Sps: 2700-2800+

Healing amp: 147%
20%Human*20%Monk*10%weapon*20%weapon*30%weapon

Dream gear:
Torc, Litany of the dead, Skiver, shroud 45 hit point conc opp and spell points goggles (swap after buffing), +3 cha/wis tod rings, greater evocation focus(robe of fire/regalia/black dragonscale), abashai set, triple positive off hand weapon, superior spark and ardor clickies/pots.

Spells:
9 = Heal mass, True res, Implosion or Energy Drain if Epic only
8 = Holy Aura, Mass Deathward, Firestorm
7 = Mass Protection, Mass Spell resistance, Mass cure serious
6 = Heal, bladebarrier, cometfall
5 = Mass cure light, true seeing, break enchantment, optional
4 = Freedom, recitation, Neutralize Poison, holy smite
1-3 = prayer, rest optional
No cost Searing light every 6 seconds
7 84 Second non extended lightning storms, more if you equip a dragonmark item. 7 is still 10 minutes worth. Hopefully they fix the extend issue.
Gust of wind and Electric Loop = Not worth much

Strategy:
Heal and blow stuff up. Run in and grab whatever you can handle, hit a call lightning storm, throw down some blade barriers, and firestorm/searing light/cometfall/holy smite(whichever suits the situation). Still have good healing potential for epics, wings, dr, and extra resist. With your healing amp, you can self scroll 365 hps, or spell heal to full. I would not take the dragonmarks until 12/15/18, so you can get them lightning storm at almost max duration and save the aps for extra marks.

I would swap the charisma for constitution. Especially, since you are not taking toughness. It's a shame too, FvSs get racial and class toughness enhancements. Every two points of Charisma gives you 29 sp, that's 14.5 sp per charisma. It's kind of a waste to put so much into it, when FvSs have such a big pool to start with.

With that much CHA and 2x Sorc TR, you should have more than 2700-2800 sp. Probably closer to 3k.

As a casting FvS, I would fit destruction in there. Unless you are a 100% epic player of course.

[Kourier]

I think the mark is based off cha.

[AtomicMew]

Considering that you're -5 and -7 to DC compared to a standard evoker, it just isn't worth it.

Also, STR as a dump stat is a silly idea for any toon, even more so on a 2x TR.

[Entelech]

Also, that Call Lightning Storm effect from the Greater Dragonmark of Storms does not really do all that much damage. It looks cooler than cool, but it's really more showy than effective. Maybe if you're a lightning-specced arcane with huge boosts it would pay off, but not otherwise.

[Matuse]

Without any boosting enhancements ala a Wiz/Sorc, you will be massively underwhelmed by the damage of Firestorm. As in...it may have trouble killing harbor kobolds on elite.

[Impaqt]

I cant think of anything more boring than leveling that toon from 1-11 on its third life....

and at 12 when you get BB, you probably wont use anything else anyway.

-2 CHR, +6 STR
Monk Dillatante for healing amp? Way unnecessary on a strong self healing class with not a lot of hit points (Comparatively)

Paly or even Sorc would be a better choice imo.

I would love to take toughness, but the other feats are needed more in the build. The charismas is for the dragonmark, and I would go no lower then 16 at start. I will take destruction until epic.

They all are.

Considering that you're -5 and -7 to DC compared to a standard evoker, it just isn't worth it.

Also, STR as a dump stat is a silly idea for any toon, even more so on a 2x TR.

Only evocation spells with saves are bladebarrier, holy smite, implosion, and call lightning storm. Will remove implosion when I reach epics. Others will have 35ish dc. Bladebarrier and lightning target reflex, which is most mobs weak save. Won't be using holy smite when BB kiting, it is for extra dps vs evil outsider bosses. Besides, the dc's are high enough for vale ing/boot ing farming. In most raids and epics, will be healing.

Many casting builds dump str. I think 12 will be fine, see below.

Also, that Call Lightning Storm effect from the Greater Dragonmark of Storms does not really do all that much damage. It looks cooler than cool, but it's really more showy than effective. Maybe if you're a lightning-specced arcane with huge boosts it would pay off, but not otherwise.

The lightning enhancements don't add that much damage. It can be 100-300 dps depending on build/gear.

Which is why I would go max str, and LR at 12. I nominate my bad luck in weapons shipment and getting only one bauble(on my Archer...) as more boring.

I can see the value of dropping cha 2 and going 12 str/14con.

It was Monk or Paladin. Now I could go Barb with the higher con, but will have dr anyway, and can't use the toughness. Healing amp just sounded better then +saves when you already have good fort/will and low reflex with no evasion. It would help staying alive with heal scrolls and saving mana for nuking when zerg farming.

Sadly, as much as I have tried to come up with a decent build with the dragonmark of storm, none of them could really do anything else well. At least as a FVS, you could still play healer, and the lightning strikes would go off when bb kiting. Paladin doesn't have enough feats, and sorceror would do more damage but have less spell pen and be a lot more squishy.
