I would say it depends on what you are fighting against. if you are going the wrecking ball path, with WM in it, you could have a great chance against most melee champs.. if you get sniped without a shield or anything by an archer you will get put down eventually using a scythe. if fighting against a mage.. you might want your caster lvl higher and some quicken spells to help with their burst.
while i can talk about how you will only have a CL of 22 (F4/BG3/WM5/FS18) and you will have basically buffs that will get you from fight to fight and the fights will be waged with several buffs dispelled. the pre 20 portion of the build worries me. it might be pretty thin as there is pretty low synergy with the classes. your caster level will be several steps too low while leveling.
I have gone for Favored Soul 16/Blackguard 4/Darkfire Disciple 10 build. It is fairly similar to any typical EDM favored soul build, you just get bit more intelligence for skill points and grab that able learner to. Then you just start with Favored Soul, unlock Blackguard, and unloack Darkfire Disciple.
DfD = (Darkfire Disciple.)
DD = (Dwarven Defender)

FS 20 / Blackguard 4 / DD 6 = CL 29

FS 14 / Rogue 3 / Blackguard 3 / DD 10 = CL 26
Yeah I agree that the low cl will easily be dispelled. So in eccence the strongest competitors overall if we are thinking general pvp/pve would be the "FS 20 / Blackguard 4 / DD 6 = CL 29" or FS 16 / Blackguard 4 / DD 10 = CL 28.
I guess here its Dmg(1d4Elemental + 3d6 sneak attack) of the Diciple vs the DR of a lvl 20 FS?
Looks interesting. Atleast much better than the usual FS 26/BG 4. Since Im building a Drow Yath'rin(Priestess) there aren't to many options for me... And Cleric builds in my opinion will always be lesser due to EDM being granted to FS...
