Looking for suggestions to ED choice for hybrid DA

[Frantik]

Hi,

starting epics on Cormyr with first lifer 18/1/1 Chaosmancer Dark Apostate (1 lvl fighter) and am pontificating more than usual, meaning a lot.

I want to go T5 in EA because its been while (before nerf) and i'm excited about turning Epic Moment so i can test it with a WIS build before tryiing it with an 18/1/1 CHA based FvS version. Currently leaning towards 23 EDP into DI for core and Improved Wellspring and small splash into PA for heart cores and +2 CHA and +2 WIS. But is there a better for the general ED setup? Hmmm. My 2nd thought is to drop PA and splash Machro for rune arm and insightful raidiance (iirc).

B swords as favored weapon, SWF x4 and IC slashing, sun domain + war soul with WIS to hit/dmg and ofc fire stripper.

Have also entertained idea of FotW but (trying to) weighing the pros and cons. I see more synergy with EA mantle (wraithform) and strike (light,) with 2 supporting acts. Will take chain cures (i am in a guild).

My feat plan is as follows:
Embolden
Perfect SWF
Master of Light (just for Searing SLA)
Doublestrike
Wellspring
Fount
Improved Turning
Celestia
lvl 31 THF feat
Intensify
Deific W

Any thoughts and crits most welcome (as long my butt doesn't hurt, too much). Thanks!

FotW strike > anything else for melee.

I think t5 LD might be best, but you could always be a wildcard running t5 magus for the sweet sweet timestop.

EA for wings, but I don't think it's worth going deep on a battlecleric.

Understood, but let me try to reason my way out. I want this alt to be capable of soloing LE. I want to damage enemies passively with EA mantle and top up with melee. I want to be able to heal a party. So to compensate the low melee damage (war priest diesn't get +1 critical multiplier like FvS does but it does get a domain). So light and fire all the way , extra spell power provided by CM summer, WP cores, EA and PA cores and tiers and ofc Sun domain. EA mantle procing fire and light dmg to nearby enemies every 2.5 secs while i finish them off with meler to further mana pool. I dont have enough feats to do what i need so the build needs a point of stability somewhere in a tri element system (it works sometimes in chemistry!). As i wrote in OP, my main objective is not to be irrelevant (in low reapet) and have utility to the party, while at sale time testing T5 EA abilities (chain and turn moment). But i am looking for ideas and criticism, just trying to beyter ecplain my thinking.

Thanks.
