I do not think that word means what you think it means.

(talking about Tukaw)

[countfitz]

So... not even close to a Tukaw build, at all.

It has some positives, like great saves and evasion I guess... but otherwise this is a sorc without an ED.

A Tukaw build is a melee sorc. This toon can't melee.

It's cool, I think you just 'missed the point' of what Tukaw is.

So this is just an evasion sorc.

[voodoogroves]

It's not a sorc. It's a FVS with a less than awesome Divine Punishment.

[Dieterstrife]

Meh. Every time I've seen it described, it was a max save built sorc. Change sorc to fvs, and you have a high save healer. Offensive isn't really something I care to do when i'm healing.

[voodoogroves]

There were plenty of FVS-anchored evasion builds with super saves. Something that is an evasion healer is frankly, well below the "do everything" bar that the Tukaw attempted to set.

Honestly, the best of that mix may be a half elf (rogue dilly) monk 2 / FVS 18 / shiradi with some other twists in if you're thinking divine.

This build was fun to play and it's right up the ally of the Tukaw build concept.

If you do not like that build then feel free to follow the link in my signature to other builds and ideas.

[Dieterstrife]

I don't doubt your build is fun, and it does seem like a good idea to run. If anything, trade the 3 obviously useless feats for twf, itwf, and gtwf, lower your cha down to a reasonable level, and raise your wis up. Use Epic Elyd's Edges, or something. That new mace would be cool too. Take the 2 epic feats for evocation spell mastery, and just be a kind of weird other build. Personally I only play my healer to be helpful and relax from playing my rogue, archer or main melee. I've played plenty of casters (tried) and just a pure heal spec fvs is so incredibly nice to change things up.

18 fvs/2 pally/5 shadowdancer Shadowdancer gets you evasion and....
Human

Stats:
8 Melee was a huge part of Tukaw
16 Why...dump it and you can still sniff mid 40s reflex even WITHOUT the paladin lvls
16 Finally, something reasonable
8 Fair enough, balance+conc+UMD though, all useful
8 Dumped wisdom...?
18 Really?

all lvl ups into cha REALLY?

Feats:
Empower Heal Decent choice
Maximize Good choice
Quicken Necessary
Lightning Reflexes +2 reflex saves is...almost NEVER worth it
Toughness Fair enough
Mental Toughness No.
Improved Mental Toughness No.
Force of Personality Will saves are NOT important if you take 5s to buff yourself.


...Ok seriously were you expecting something more complicated?

I was expecting a sorc with 2 splashed lvls with some melee ability. Not...that.

Responses in Underlined Text.
Saves are important, but not THAT important that you sacrifice melee AND DC casting to do it. You'd probably be able to hit mid50s at least across the board...maybe even 60s with buffs and EDs...but if the save DC is 40 or 45, who cares?

Why butcher your character to get overkill saves?

I think in EE saves are at 50+, but anyway, for the OP, the concept is:
I don't think it's really needed nowhere in the game to be a "pure healer"... you can heal perfectly well without having those maybe 200 extra sp that high cha grants you.
Just use scrolls when you feel it's needed to conserve sp and twist in Renewal from Exhalted Angel, which is a ridicolously cheap and OP way of healing others.

Personally, I'd pick up at least some damage, but to each his own

Q: What do you call a healbot in DDO?
A: A waste of a party slot.

Seriously, every good healer build can contribute CC and/or DPS (spell and/or melee-based); you're only living up to a fraction of your full potential. Second, if any build doesn't need to put so much effort into boosting its saves, it's a FvS who sits in the back and just spams Heals. Third, MT & IMT are overkill on a FvS; you'd get more SPs by staying pure and using those feats for something else. Fourth, you go Shadowdancer presumably for the free Evasion, but you're sacrificing all the caster goodies from, say, Exalted Angel to get it; not exactly a good tradeoff for a dedicated caster. Finally, by staying pure you get the capstone, which ups your survivability and gets you either a spammable CLW or Searing Light.

I'm fine with flavor builds - but this isn't flavor, it's just a gimp. *shrug* That said, do what you want; as long as you're a competent healer, you probably won't get booted from any PUGs.

[Dieterstrife]

Sorry. Forgot that only Evoker souls and Battle souls are allowed in DDO. Can't just make one specced to heal to help friends out, and give it some overkill to survive with. If it angers you all that much, I'll make sure to forget the whole design and go full offensive.

Like I said. I enjoy just being a healer at times. If I want offensive, I have rogues, archers and barbs for that.

I don't think that is the focus of the opposition you are seeing. Most saw the word 'Tukaw' and expected. . . well a Tukaw build.

Certain builds in DDO are so famous they are well known by name. Monster, Blitz and Exploiter to name a few. Tukaw is one of those. A Tukaw build is traditionally 16 sorc/2 rogue(sometimes monk)/2 pally.

There are Heal focused FVS out there and I for one have no problem with them but it is like naming a movie 'Batman' and expecting folks to sit through 'Gangnam Style'. Most will not likely take it well

It's not personal. Most of the people posting in the forums are just trying to share knowledge and help you understand FVS have so much more potential than just healing.

The easy button is this build. http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=199266 It works for healing. Change the enhancements a bit and your there.

Nobody's angry at you; but apart from misappropriating a popular build name, you posted a suboptimal build and we aren't too kind to them around here. Consider it a form of tough love if you like. You invested feats & class lvls into things which FvSs usually don't need help with (i.e., saves & SPs) and ignored one of their chief advantages (namely being able to melee and/or spam offensive spells) while undermining your casting by going SD instead of EA for your ED.

Sticking with the themes of your original build, consider this instead: HE FvS 18 / monk 2 w/pally dilly (+5 to saves) and Exalted Angel 5 (sure someone could tell you what're the best Twists to add). Take Toughness and Resilience as your monk bonus feats. [Resilience stance provides +4 to saves but triples your spell cooldowns, so you would use it sparingly, but it does provide extra survivability if & when you really need it.] Base stats: max WIS, at least CON 14, CHA 13 (pally dilly pre-req), remaining pts where you like. Put your lvl-ups into WIS and use your regular feats for the classics (i.e., Max / Quik / Emp Heal, SF/GSF/ESF:Evo, Spell Pen/GSP/ESP). Congrats, you now have an evasive FvS with ridiculous saves who is a very capable healer and still able to put out beaucoup DPS as well, without simply being a cookie-cutter Evoker.

APs wind up pretty tight, forcing some tough calls - e.g., more W&S Mastery or more Spell Pen? - but in general it works out well, I think. You only get one lvl 9 spell slot, though, forcing you to choose between Mass Heal and Implosion; I was building for the latter.
