Please rate / fix my TR FvS build

[wlmartin]

I love my rogue - I really do but what is the point in hovering around at Cap with nothing but gear to hunt down

We all need a challenge!!! - so with FvS unlocked and enough Epic Tokens to choke a Donkey, I am keen to consider the following FvS build. Besides, once the FvS grows, I could always TR back to Rogue and by then, a 3rd life and an increase in the cap will put me hard to work, perhaps.

Please rate and fix where needed.

NOTE : I am unsure of the best Spell selection for this type of build and most of the spells shown here are based on respecing them later on, obviously the choice will be different as I level with obsolete spells being changed up. That being said I am unsure if I have made a good choice all around and would appreciate feedback.

: General Notes :

Ending STR of 25, odd of course but will work with an exceptional +1 G/S item or ideally a +3 tome

+6 items across the board in key areas

HP bonuses in usual areas such as DV, Minos, G/S HP item, Greater False Life so should get to 487hp which isnt going to set the world alight for a Melee type but this build is designed to add to the DPS of the party not to Tank

With the 3 enhancements, it puts me at DR/13 Adamantine and am on the fence thinking this is fine or too much and if the enchancements could be better spent on others (ie keep the DR/10 and pump something else in there)

AC will be ok but not fantastic as no feat spent on Heavy Metal body.
Unsure if this is worth investing in and then respecing out once I get my DR/10

You definitely do not want Bladesworn Transformation if you aren't getting your PrE (more on this later). It makes you immune to positive energy heals and prevents all spell casting, essentially making you a barb with exceptionally low DPS and an irremovible healing curse.

Definitely drop Extend. Your best bet is probably Maximize, which soups up your direct damage spells and your cures (but not your heals) and also serves as a pre-req for your PrE.

Divine Punishment will outclass your melee DPS, especially if you take Angel of Vengeance PrE and get the Condemnation to proc. You could arguably drop every one of your level 5 spells put together to pick it up.

I would drop both Toughness 4s, all Great Weapon Aptitudes, and DR 3. That's 20 AP: 6 for AoV, 10 for Smiting 4, 3 for Energy of Scion 3 (pre-req), 1 for whatever you want, switch your positive energy crits for smiting crits. If you're really desperate for the greatsword to-hit, keep the Warforged religion, otherwise get the Sovereign Host one which is a little more useful. For giving up 20 HP, you are making out like a bandit.

With no Spell Pen, Heighten, or Wisdom, forget about straight DC spells. Command, Hold Person, Cometfall, Implosion - out. You're not killing anything with a 21 Spell Pen and 25 DC. Suggestions for what to put in: Remove Fear, Remove Curse, Harm, Energy Drain.

.

Lastly, in general it may be a better idea to try out a character that's new to you on a first life build. You get to the good parts a lot faster, and you don't lose as much by 86ing it. In this particular case, you also get very little in the way of past life help from going rogue-FvS-rogue.
