firestorm sucks and so does flame strike

Symbol of Persuasion is amazing for charming in reaper and hero's feast is G&R

Greater Restoration instead of Destruction? Resto is a scroll for Chist sakes

Lvl 7 spells should be Destruction, Mass Prot (maybe), and resurrection or mass spell resist if they fix it's stacking like they've hinted at

Lvl 9: Not taking implosion is insane

Pick a build to critique. Keep in mind one has dumped DCs.

Its not my fault you ninja'd the thread and posted it when it wasn't complete and had 2 scrolling spell lists.

I think my point has come across and if your spell lists reflected my opinion previously to my posting it, awesome. Opinions rescinded

This.

At this point, nothing makes a FvS worth playing, IMHO.

Lack of SLA's, slow spell progression, and gimpy domains with shite choices for weapons mean both trees suck donkey-balls.

And there's not a 3rd Enhancement tree option without multi-classing, which defeats the purpose of these threads.

Again, it's laudable that 5FS is even trying to polish turds with these builds, but it's basically a lost cause.

All a FvS can do now is grind their teeth until Level 10 for Divine Punishment, and then to Level 12 for Blade Barrier. Spam them in alternation, and then kite trash while jumping around like a kangaroo on speed.

Maybe toss the odd Searing Light/Deific Vengeance/Destruction while DP or BB are on cool down. 

Warpriest is so bad, it's not worth discussing.   

The projected Divine pass u37 or later (hopefully before Ravenloft rolls out) might fix some of these problems... If they can figure out what FvS is supposed to be.

Pro-Tip: FvS sucks ass, even in PnP.

It was fucking pointless because a Cleric was literally better at everything. With the proposed divine pass, it's likely to remain that way.

So unless SSG is gonna give FvS Archon-style wings and let you float around... That'd at least be novel and fit with the class-as-written from PnP.

By Level 18 of a FvS life, I become a giant XP-per-minute douchebag because I am literally counting the seconds until I can hit 20 and TR.

If I have to wait 18 levels for a class/build to be fun... That's a monumental failure of design, IMHO.

The nicest thing I can say about FvS is that it's a decent Past Life.

YMMV.
