    Default Strimtom's Beacon of Lots of Healing on the Cheap

    Hello everyone! This build guide is going to follow a slightly different formatting, as it's mostly in video forms. I'll give my rough thoughts here, but for the full impression please check out the video on my youtube channel I am talking about:

    The build I used:

    Not a 36 point build with racial points? The only change to enhancement points I would do is drop the 20 healing amp from Aasimar and drop all the T4s in angel of vengeance, just taking the archon to stack blood and radiance.

    Realistic End Game items:
    Googles: Garstone Lenses
    Helmet: Drow Sages Cowl
    Necklace: Rose Quartz Sigil Stone
    Trinket: Echo of Ravenkind
    Cloak: Mysterious Cloak
    Belt: Silverthread Belt
    Ring#1: Spinneret
    Ring#2: Chieften
    Gloves: Gauntlets of Innate Arcanum
    Boots: Flightfoot Greaves
    Bracers: Lore Fueled Pack Banner
    Armor: Scales of Exile
    Weapon: Macabre Scepter
    Shield: Giant's Platter

    This grants the Mists Set and the Wayward Warrior set, and using these items should push you up to 2k health.

    Anyways, that's all I got. Let me know what you think of this formatting and if this is helpful for you at all!

    I'd argue that taking Spell Focus: Evocation and Heighten Spell would be superior to some of the feats chosen. In 95% of the game, your group isn't going to need a full-fledged Beacon of Hope. Being able to rapidly switch to an AoV-centric casting build by simply re-arranging enhancements/twists would be far more useful than feats like Mental Toughness or Epic Damage Reduction.

    Even if remaining entirely in Beacon of Hope, offensive control spells should still be part of your arsenal.
