Hey guys, I'm really eager to get in-game but I want to make it as perfect as possible and was hoping I could get some advice really fast before I make him.

Currently have a 32 point build and trying to make a melee oriented FVS very similar to the Soul Survivor build found here: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=268346

He says to drop strength, but for some reason I'd like to keep it at 18. Let me know if I'm wrong thinking this, but I was thinking this stat allocation:

18 Strength
8 Dex
17 Con
10 Int
6 Wis
12 Cha

Is the 17 con a dumb thing to do? Will that odd number end up being wasted? Should I take the two out of Cha and put it in Con?

Somebody also said that Intimidate is getting buffed next update, so I should perhaps drop to 16 Con and raise Int to 12. Will be grouping with a Wizard almost exclusively if that effects the decision.
