18 FvS/2rogue 2HF trapper/healer/melee damage

[Xezrak]

The idea is here but I am sure there is a lot to be refined, including skill point and enhancement allocation, what do you guys think, could this potentially work with the right equipment? Idea is be able to fill that last slot in pugs for both healer and rogue and be able to contribute decently to damage via melee and DoT. Empower and maximise for DoT and mobs which won't evade BB.

Potentially could twist in the reflex saves from magister/draconic incarnation. Could also twist in DR and spell power from Shiradi (since no capstone).

I have a greataxe feat in there since I have a couple of nice axes but could always be swapped out with greatswords if I ever farm out a ESoS.

Bump?

Any feedback would be appreciated, good? bad? useless build?

[Therigar]

The concept isn't horrible and I'm sure others have had similar ideas. It isn't something that I would play because the two classes are not inherently supportive of one another. However, that doesn't mean you should not.

What I see wrong with the build -- by which I mean, things I wouldn't do if I was going to make such a character -- is what you've done with the initial build points.

You absolutely do not need WIS or CHA on a FvS for either spell points or DCs unless you are planning on casting spells where SR or saving throw is a factor. If you are primarily focused on filling the healer role then, IMO, you should just dump both of those stats.

Yes, I get that your spell point pool will be a bit smaller. But, how much smaller? At L18 you have 1480 spell points with a base 8 CHA. If you bump that to 12 you have 1507. That is 27 extra spell points for 4 build points. It might be enough for 1 more spell. Even tossing in enhancements, tomes and items there isn't that much of a bonus gained for the 4 build point investment.

OTOH, if you were planning to be an offense minded FvS casting lots of spells where DC mattered then you would absolutely want both CHA and WIS -- WIS more than CHA. If that were the case, however, even the numbers you've give the build would be too small.

So, first thing I'd do is dump the points spent on CHA.

Next, the start and end stats seem very inefficient. Using +3 tomes (the effects of which seem to be built into the character with so many past lives) you really want to end on even numbers if possible. It can be that you have a surplus of +7 items waiting for you at L20. But, getting them all on one character is always a challenge. I would relook that part and decide which stats were totally irrelevant to the build and which I had +7 items for. Then, with any build points saved I would increase CON.

I saw you have PL barbarian and that makes some difference. But, CON is never a dump stat. Even a FvS planning to mostly sit back and heal needs to be careful about leaving CON too low.

Certainly it is not very rewarding being stuck as a healer. So, having the desire to be able to fill some other role in a group makes sense.

In the enhancements, I would have ignored the rogue skill boost and trap sense and wand/scroll mastery. Instead I would try to find ways to fit the Human Versatility enhancements in. Other enhancements that could go to allow for it are FvS attack boost and FvS toughness 4 (this assumes you bump CON a bit).
