any swash build you want. Depends on the past life you want. I would suggest Zoda's con based dwarf swash over other swash builds. versatile can be made as ftr or rogue icon as well.

Bards are the best at SWF. Nuff said.

Also builds don't really matter if you are just grinding xp. You can roll any melee in fatesinger and it will be ok now with the passive melee power in the cores.

Not really, til they fix druids are best at swf

Rolling this up at the end of this EPL will see how it works.  I think it will be pretty fun and survivable even without any divine EPLs
