The Unyielding Soul

I've spent a deeper look into the Epic destinies and thought about what to take for my main toon.
I am not sure if all of this is 100% accurate considering how this stuff works - so far it's mainly thoughts.

So what do I have - a Strength Based Melee Focused Pure 20 Half-Elf FvS, which is now going to get it's Epic levels.
The original build can be found here:

+0.5W Weapon Damage with PA
20% Haste Boosts
Empower Heal
more PRR through heavy armor

Additionaly you have 3 stances to chose from:
- vigor stance: 100hp, 10% hamp, hp proc on being hit
This will be my main stance.

- Stand against the tide stance: 1damage, 20% threat, 5% fort, 1 saves, knockdown immu, pure good weap (1d6 to non good)
Will use this Stance when more DPS is required, or Knockdown immunity is needed (hello Red Dragons out there)

- Unbreakable: meh stance, will not use this at all


So what do I get (self buffed):
A Melee/Healing focused FvS with:
- about 900 HP in Vigor stance (woot!)
- 140 - 145% fortification
- 2-3 different hit point procs ((demonic shield), conc opp, vigor stance)
- saves in the 40s
- somewhat between 70-80 AC in shield mode
- Heavy Armor PRR
- great healing (now with empower heal - hooray to maxed Capstone Heals with all Metas)
- total awesomesomesauce healing amp (self scroll heals as of now for 640HP!)
- solid melee damage
- occasional 10000 HP for the laughs
- FvS Capstone and all the other FvS goodies


I hope I didn't make any horrible mistakes/misunderstandings of the new destinies.
If you spot anything please let me know.
I will level this build and post more when I get there. As I said so far it's just thoughts.
So far my FvS is at level 21 only.
