CW dps/debuff stats and enchant

I want to try a hybrid build, and I'm wondering whether anyone tried it before. I haven't seen a specific guide for it anywhere.

The idea is to go MoF Thaum (standard distribution) with 15 point in Renegade (Abyss of Chaos). I also want to slot Swath + Combustive for Smolder Stacking debuff.
The idea of the build is to do some reasonable dps, so that I can benefit from AA cleric, and also to provide basic debuffs to help to cap debuff.
Is this a good idea? Has anyone tried it?

What weapon enchant would you recommend? Dread x Plague x Feytouched? different one?
Also which race? Drow for more debuff or Tief for dmg buff and stats?

    It's doable.

    I run with a MoF Thaum who has a similar jack of all stats approach, except that he uses Icy Veins instead of Abyss.
    (Sharp, if you're reading this, you know who this is).

    The build can deal some good chip damage, but will often need to lean slightly towards debuff or DPS.

    For example, double stacking Smolder is very hard to do (or impossible) without Combustive Action, which you're planning to do. But if you take Combustive Action, you lose Chilling Prescence, which kills your DPS. See the issue?

    My MoF buddy is a Tiefling and runs a Dread for an all around approach to DPS and buffing. He also rolls a Sellsword for a good blend of personal DPS and group DPS.

    Yeah, I can see your point. It's a shame that so much DPS is dependable on 1 class feature.
    my plan was to run drow and trans PF, but the dps dip is high. I thought maybe Dread and Tief might balance out missing CP a little bit. So maybe that's the way to go.

    I switched from Icy Veins because I've read it makes smolder stacking almost impossible. I still like the idea of combining Swath with Combustive Action for a pretty good debuff.

    I personally tried the Rene / Thaum with full brutal 12 and Dread enchantment.

    Honestly I found it to be a huge loss of buff for barely nothing. (because you don't take Bitter Cold and because Dread is often already played by other dps)
    As your dps mainly comes from passives powers, the dps gain is absolutely not noticeable.

    So after testing it, I went back to my Rene / Opp recovery build which deals +- 10% less dps with PF.

    Ran a msva with a mof that topped the charts by 30 million above my second place ss thraum/abyss (380million to 350 milliin)....no one else came close. He was BIS dread dc sigil dragonborne or teifling. I was impressed.

    and gwf you can since here the circumstances are bad for a gwf ( no damage taken from immunity cleric tricks and temp hp still bug unstopable) and general those trials and fbi are for wizards to shine.

    DID also used any special set or was pieces like int belt ?

    I could be wrong but I think he was running orcus set and used fire archon as companion. Just awesome to see an mof topping the charts....

    Mof can easily topping the charts. By playing full dps, he's not far away from a SS CW...
