Wood Elf with Falchion

[Xyfiel]

Been leveling a melee pure FVS that used qstaff until 9 when I took Falchion proficiency and have been doing very well with it. Any one else tried this? I am only doing a racial so I won't be testing it in end game.

Build is simple.
Max Wisdom.
11 points in Wood Elf for Falchion as favored weapon.
Tier V Warpriest. Capstone Beacon if you have the racial aps if not capstone in WP. I am 16 and moving up Beacon now.
Using Mist and Crypt Raider sets with Panasophic.
Feats are power attack, cleave, quicken, falchion, improved critical slashing, completionist. Last one will likely be great cleave.
At level 12 the power level goes up a lot. You get heal spell, improved critical feat, and the WP tier V(crit multiplier).
Can use all spell slots for healing, buffing, and soundburst.

I tried 3 similar variations with Wood Elf/Divine/Falchion but with a /5 barbarian splash and frenzied berserker tier 5.

Favored Soul 15 / Barbarian 5 (Wisdom - War Soul)
Cleric 15 / Barbarian 5 - War Domain (Strength/Divine Might)
Cleric 15 / Barbarian 5 - Strength Domain (Strength/Divine Might)

I found Cleric better in both cases. War Domain is better dps with +1 increased crit range and +2 increased crit damage + better tactics. Strength Domain was great defenses with the super high reflex save, knockdown and stun immunity. Favored Soul had more hp though and useful spellcasting at lower levels. Cleric had useful turn undead at lower levels with charisma as a secondary stat and gear.

Even with the lack of hamp on a wood elf the self healing is really great.
