Brain overload trying to read all of the build thread posts. Im specifically looking for a viable vvfs build for personal reasons. Vraes seems the more typical d&d party member than Kincaid. Vincent is my Grandfathers name. I always have a paladin in my group. And I like selen for her name and class name over thief.
Thinking This isn’t an optimal party, but dying to make it work. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Absolutely a great party!
When trying to put together a team build, I always start with a few questions --
1) who is going to supply our -AP curse. Maybe its Selen with Pinning Shot.
2) who is going to apply other big armor/defense debuffs? With this group, you're thin on AOE debuffs like Choking Ash, Ethereal Anguish. Vincent might be possible with Energy Storm as his leading 3 AP hit.
3) who is going to drop the big buffs? Vraes is a selfish buffer, he can only make himself powerful. Vincent can use the Blades buff, and self buff with eye of the storm. Fyona has the best options, need to pick 1 or 2 that synergize.
4) who are going to be my tanks? Vraes and Fyona?

Thanks for the quick response!
Want to make Vraes the 2h tank with ssk and BoS
Vincent is crowd control with FF2 and FA1. Working on electrical synergy with Fyona, but it’s going to take a while. Investing in TB right now
Fyona is using hs to soften, but only has SoC as defense, leaving her a less than optimal OT.
Selen has ps5, so that’s helping my accuracy. Want to go into pb, but what good is it if it can’t penetrate target’s defense?
Obviously a low level party, just wanted to make sure I’m heading in the right direction

Consider using Fyona's Holy Strickening as a very powerful way to weaken enemies for Vincent synergy.
I would suggest with Selen early level not to try to split early. Go at least 10 levels into bows before trying to swing over to blades.

I would suggest actually using Pinning shot 5 on her first though so you nhave a minus parry debuff for your group and not use vincent for crowd control. Instead go Energy storm / Thundering Blades, Start Fyona with SoC and pick up stricking later in episode 2 |

Ok I’m seriously missing out on something. On my way To help with the red hill siege and Krete are now punishing me. Looking at talents:
Vraes ssk 7, bos 3. Using a 2 hander
Fyona: SoC 5, hs 3, bd 1 for curses. Hammer/ shield
Vincent FF 2, es 4, tb 3
Selen ps 5, dos 3 and just added a pt to punishing blades.
Fyona and Vraes are getting consistently hit for 40 to 60 (multiple times) so I’m potting way too much. They’re not clustering enough for me to take advantage of es.
Usual opening round assuming all buffs up: selen ps. Fyona hs to a nearby group. Vincent with es. And vraes goes in with the hammer.
Talent wise or strat wise, is there something I’m missing? As you can tell, I’m not sure if I’m even on the right track to develop an OT

I would use Selen either fully ranged or fully melee, so the point in punishing blades is a waste imho. That said, PS won't suffice as AP debuff power, to pushing FF is probably a good idea.
I much prefer Kincaid over Vraes and sword&board Vraes over 2h ssk, but if you go the ssk route you need to add as much armor on him as you get.
Also, don't play too aggressive. Krete are rather stupid and easy to pull until they're in range to get debuffed.
