FVS build

I need a fvs past life as I am working towards completionist and I really have no clue how to build a fvs because I have never played one before. No preference on whether it is melee or caster. I was thinking maybe 13fvs/5pally/2fighter for a melee 2hf build. Just looking for someone to steer me in the right direction or if they have a build I could follow that would be awesome too. Thanks!

If you're doing heroic levels:

Human:
1barb then the rest fvs.

Go for wisdom build with moderate strength.

The playstyle: 2HF Melee until blade barrier, at which point, run, shit out blade barriers behind you and win the game.

stats: 17wis, 16str, rest cha (divine might for low levels)

Feats:
1: power attack, cleave
3: Maximize
6: wiz past life
9: Mental toughness (for the crit chance)
12: Empower
15: Quicken
18: Wings FUCK YEAH! (autogranted but still worth mentioning) and something that doesn't matter, cause you're ripping shit up now.

Swap in and out spells along the way, Slay living, undeath to death, dismissal are all awesome to have at the apropriate times.

This is one of the few builds where level 19 can be worth it, due to the Haste SLA.

Why the one level of barbarian? Just for the sprint boost?

Is this build at all viable for epic levels or is this just a build to grind through heroic past lives?

Sprint Boost and 10% movement speed from Barb base.

10% movement, martial weapon proficiency.  Sadly the devs fucked over barbs by making sprintboost require 2 barb levels.

It'll be fine in EN, and passable in EH, but it's definitely geared towards heroic.

You can spec into extra rage and athletics III for a sprint boost of sorts. Rage > dismiss > jump + resto pot > enjoy 35% sprint boost for ~18 seconds.

right, but you've got limited rage uses with one barb level, and it's a shit compared to the action boost.

So it matches the BB shitting play style, is what you're saying....

There's 4 flavors of fvs: melee "dps" (LOL), which is a complete joke regardless of how you splash it; tank, which is pretty awesome with a few paladin levels and some monk; caster, which is not as awesome as wiz/sorc combo, but you can hjeals 'em plz, kfanx; and AA.

For the tank why would you want to splash monk in there? I get what the paladin levels are for but if I am going to be all tanky wouldn't a 15/5 split work with fvs pally. I would like to see a fvs AA build that would be... interesting.

We should deport all the SW fangirls over the age of 12 (except for grand he is special) and build a wall to keep them from coming back.

Evasion, 2 extra feats, armor class bonuses, and heal amp, AC, PRR, and saving throw bonuses due to low hanging fruit from Shintao tree for minimal AP cost.
