So kickin around what I'm gonna do with my mele caster who was originally a mele based 20 wf fvs *with esos* who i turned into a mele sorc... but with the expansion comming hes not going to be overly viable.

So kickin around ideas, and wanted to see what other mele lovin fvs plan on doin.

Not getting into all the details... but thinkin about and 18/2 fvs/fighter or 14/6 fvs/fighter build of some nature along with legendary dred as main focus epic destiny (yes yes i know i know alot of that stuff is still in swing and being balanced, but id say its time to start lookin at how are characters are going to fall out into eds)

I'd stay 20 fvs, but I'd like the extra feats as I'm looking at going for overwelming critical (epic feat) and its 5 pre reqs... so out of 7 feats and 2 epics thats 6 of em, till ya throw in toughness.... well yeah It kinda becomes nessesary for extra feats. The loss of capstone dr doesnt hurt to much (Shiradi champion fey form ability is teir 2 and twisted at 3 ap it is 7 dr cold iron)

So race comes into play also... and weaponry. Wf and greatswords.... even at 18 I can still grab the great sword enhancemtns for lob fvs.. but theres the healing prof diff and probalby spending a feat on adamantine plating... and will there be weaponry to replace the esos... we dont know yet, best guess is there will be atleast a 2hander to rival it.

Human... extra feat.. nifty... +1 to con and str.. also nifty.. healing amp nifty x3

Half orc.... smash....

half elf... mmm...if I was staying pure 20.. half elf for fighter dilly... but Im thinkin no to half elf..

dwarf... hafling... drow... etc... meh not even really lookin *unless theres some ungodly great axe then dwarfy gets a look*

Feats...
well a per above
toughness
improved crit slash
weapon focus slash (pre req)
cleave (pre req for good part of leg dred)
great cleave (pre req for over crit)
Power attack
(all 5 of those lead to) over welming critical (at 21 or 24)

so at 18/2 that would leave me with 4 feats left...5 if human
quicken and max for combat heals and blade barriers/dots/etc

not sure where i'd go with the others... stunning blow maybe... more toughnes.. maybe mental toughness since sp will only be around... 2k to 2.2k (not gonna be investing in cha much so 18 fvs should put me in this range)

So anyway, I'm just kinda kickin around ideas here, and I figured I'd put up a post and see if anyone had any other ideas to contribute or another way that might go along. I'm not lookin for any *dude battle clerics are horrible* posts... this isnt intended to be a heal bot of any kind... its intended to be a mele focued self healer who can throw around a few offensive spells... nothing more nothing less. So if ya got any ideas ya wanna throw out, or planning on anything similar.... or just wanna tell me i'm an idiot for wanting to do an fvs dred (hel I might even do an fvs fury lol that might be fun) so be it. i'm just posting it to keep it from bouncing around my own skull heh.
