And yes 13 DR (15 with adamantine body)
And not to meniton WF PA enhancements.

If there wasnt HOrcs wf fvs would be the bomb, but I'm gonna make a Horc build that owns wf builds.

Yeah, you did. Crazy said he was swapping Extend out for Proficiency: Greatsword (presume he has a SOS / ESOS)

I dumped wis as well on a concept build I been trying out.  Melee WF cleric RS Max STR.  The bursts are doing fine for healing and through 9 levels its a beast.  I suspect though around GH this concept build may start to strain. Going to play it out and see though.

That is the rationale I was working from when i decided to role it.

I heard Pyrric brings the healing pain...

One of my first builds was the old Warpriest 9 cle/1 pally  which had a high str and had a smite evil.  That old warpriest build used to play much like you describe.  It healed well and could bring the pain. It was so old that it had a 9 base con and no one even thought twice about that build( my have things changed).  So basically it did not transfer well as the game changed.   5 years later that build has gone through severals changes, GR, and feat swaps as the game went along.  Now its a heal/casting bot with good HP. Which means it heals most of the time in end game.  So in other words boring.

I have wondered for years how to pull off an actual BC that wasn't a douchebag that had the effectiveness that the old school warpriest build used to be.  The game has changed so much that I was really leaning towards a true well played BC was about a dead end.  Then RS came out.   

RS allows constant healing and burst healing without being mana Dependant.  So Wis can be dumped in favor for STR/con.  I also figured that if i was going to be about the RS burst for AOE healing I would pump up CHA some as well for the extra turns.   

So the question I tried to answer is how to infuse fun back into a healing capable character and not be a complete dickwad in a group/raid setting.  Thus the HoldmkVIII concept project.  Be in the front where the meat meets the meat so to speak.  (All this talk of meat has you excited I know )  I chose warforge for the GSword synergy with the lord of blades faith line and I felt that I would go WF for the racial immunities and DR. 

Not sure it will be a particularly good build at end game but I have always been one to try out the builds and take them to high level before I pass judgement.  Builds typically play different than they look on paper.

Ghaldar, you should be fine. RS is the new easy button. Cometfall and PA FTW! I did have some GS items made up in preperation for this though. Con opp SP and HP items, with +9 WIS and CHA weapons for healing situations as well as a Lit 2 falchion pre fabbed before my final TR. Wisdom is at 23 unbuffed with a +2 wisdom tome. 26 with a +3 tome and ship buffs, not including the GS +3 exp weapon. A fun build!

Forgot to mention, over 500 hp, short of 1900 sp. 36 pt. Max STR and CON, rest in WIS 1/2 orc.
