Do you think the Binder variant of the build would stack up well against a straight Binder?
Probably better, provided you're not using the online vestiges. I'm not sure about how an online-vestige binder would work with the wand overdrive trick.
On second thought, though, you can't do it with just PSC - Wand Mastery itself requires caster level 9, as well as Craft Wand (which requires CL 5). So you'd need to ender with a caster class of some sort, and the only wand-friendly caster class I know of that won't suck royally with just 5 levels + Practiced Spellcaster is Warlock (since people expect different things from them).
Warlock 6 would probably be better for the extra invocation. Would the extra 3 levels be used for Legacy Champion?
I'd really like to put my vote in for the throw man, that sounds so cool :P also tempest assuming the wand chamber works like a magical "shotgun" what spells would you suggest going in there?
I've enjoyed the weekly optimization showcase since I stumbled upon the wizsassin. I've even ran the feral druid against my party when I was dming.
I'm sure I speak for many forum lurkers when I say that I'm overjoyed to see this new post and hope for more exciting builds.
As far as god hand goes its without question my favorite beat em up game of all time. Not every video game can get away with replacing character developement with punching and plot with karate
Okay, I wanna know, how'd the Feral Druid fare against a party? What was the ECL to EL and how many guys were fighting how many guys? Details, you can't just make a post like that without DETAILS!

I second this. That build was one of my favorites.
I must insist that you post details aswell, especially because I was planning to run it against my party I'm dming and I feel its an attractive choice, thanks to tempest, rt, andarious and all other contributers I have run one build they did against my part (heavy crusader) and have used these builds if I need a powerful character on the fly. I have also had great success with eat sleep gank causing massive havoc for the pcs.
