What's up to date with running an offensive/casting favoured soul? Haven't ran a divine caster in probably over 5 years? Are they still good at all?

41 AP Inquisitive
a few AP in to Beacon of Hope
rest of AP in War Soul

Current best offensive casting FvS because you get to effectively dual wield your offensive casting crossbows.

Why is wracking shot a must have?  Constructs aren't exactly common and 6AP could be spent better.

I've not tested it myself but the description seems to separate the bonuses and hint that the latter bit is applicable to all mobs:

Quote:
Wracking Shot: Ranged Attack: +1[W]. On Damage: Deals 3d6/6d6/9d6 extra damage (scales with 200% Ranged Power) to constructs and living constructs, and -25% fortification and immunity to sneak attack for 20 seconds.

It comes after the "constructs and living constructs" wording so I'd always assumed the 25% fort debuff and sneak immunity strip applied whether mob was construct or not.

In-game differs from wiki & specifies this is only constructs too. Noticed while respeccing this evening. Ignore me. Always.

FvS nukers haven't changed much over the last 5 years, in the sense that your main school is necro.

Offensive FvS is a different story. Many arcane archers, divine might warsoul splashers and more are ranging around t2-t4 in endgame content.
