Offensive FVS

[pie2655]

I dont like playing a healer, but the divine offensive spells are awesome so i made a FVS build designed more for offensive casting then healing. It does have some healing capability but mostly as a backup. So here it is! Please comment with suggestions, ideas, and CONSTRUCTIVR ciriticism.

I personally wouldnt take mental toughness. as a fvs you should wind up with more then enough spellpoints.I would replace it with spell penn or evocation focus.

[nicnivyn]

If you're anywhere even close, grind out the favor to get 32 pt build first. Otherwise drop CHA 2 points ( you lose 29 sp) and raise CON 2 points.

^^ Would agree with that as well.

[pie2655]

Okay, wasnt to sure about char vs. con.

[pie2655]

Yeah wasnt sure if the offensive spells were evocation or not. But ill swap mental toughness with evocation focus.

[pie2655]

Other than that.....is the build solid?

[twix]

If you really want to focus on blade barrier i would even drop extend for greater evo focus.

[twix]

Other than that.....is the build solid?

Yeah .If all you changed was your con and your cha the build would still work well.Just giving you my personal preferences on how i would do it

[pie2655]

In your opinion which would be better?

[twix]

Ive been running my cleric, now a true reincarnated into a fvs , offensively for the better part of 4 years and i like to have the highest dc possible on my bb and other spells. I run with max,empower,heighten,evo focus,greater evo focus,and toughness i think.And quicken of course :O

Seems to work well havent changed feats on him for 3 years or so and took the same ones when i reincarnated.

[pie2655]

Awesome! Thanks!

[taurean430]

You will need to focus on Evocation, and get some Spell Penetration.

[twix]

No problem .Welcome to the world of healing and killing The offensive healer is by far my favorite style of play in this game.Hope you enjoy !

[pie2655]

How would i squeeze in spell penetration?

[twix]

How would i squeeze in spell penetration?

You could drop greater evo focus and it wouldnt hurt you too bad.

[pie2655]

So which is better? Greater evo or spell penn?

[taurean430]

Taking away the enhancement in improved jump and replacing it with spell pen would be a good start.

[pie2655]

Okay, i only took jump enhancments cuz im good at twitch and jump helps alot....

[twix]

Personal preference i guess.At end game i find myself mostly using bb or healing.i use a spell penn item and an enhancement or two i think and i get through sp about 80 % of the time in high level instances.
