Rescue Ranger

[GhoulsTouch]

I made this as a suggestion to another player in another thread it's a Tempest Ranger who is able to utilize Undying Call to raise dead for free and makes good use of dual weilded scimitars. It is a 32 point build and did not incorporate any tomes leaving that option to the player. His healing spells have been amped as well as his wand usage.

[Seruvontes]

So far this build has performed spectacularly with the proper set of gear albeit an extensive one I have had no problems soloing higher level content to fifth. I made a couple of changes to the build as I was levelling it moving toughness down the feat progression to provide more fluent weapons progression, as HP weren't an issue at the time, I'll post the updated build in the morning.

Harbor quests and Korthos were a breeze. I hit off quite a few before grabbing some specialized weapons at level 3 and moving to Depths in house D. I rand it a couple of time with the hireling on hard before going to Shan-To-Kor and doing three runs for the last bit of level 4 and level 5.

I've also been keeping an appropriate level cleric hireling around as well as long as he stays up I generally stay up. A healthy supply of clickable spells is suggested to cover tactical holes for soloing such as hidden doors, a wand of resist energy perhaps buffs early on, etc.. Particular issues I've ran into are will saves and crit. rates are low starting

I'll have more for you at level 10.

[GhoulsTouch]

Cool, thanks for keeping up with this.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

Consider Clr7. Look at the spell list of lvl 4 Clr spells. It includes a lot of good cure-alls, and Divine Power.

I'd think that 7 Cleric + 1 Rog > 6 Cleric + 2 Fighter.

As for skills, Heal and Jump are not good choices for a build that can cast Cure spells and a 30 point jump buff.

If you take Rogue, you should be able to keep the all-important UMD maxed out.

So with your suggestions and applying the min max logic I gave a try at building this.

Minimized dexterity, ate a +2 tome and took all available dexterity enhancements for a good evasion. Skill points are scarce I have to admit but I didn't dump stat charisma for UMD and Divine Vitality.. Invested in divine vitality and extra turning to give more SP to the real cleric. Wand and Scroll mastery meshes with max UMD.

Like many caster hybrids, this looks like allot of patience required for it's real power.

Edit: A note that maybe the OP didn't realize. Paladins have access to the same enhancements, are full BAB classes, and have toughness enhancements. Seems a better fit...

[Phidius]

That looks really good - the only teensie tiny thing I would add would be to consider starting with a Wisdom of 11 instead of 14 - you can either raise Str to 18, or get some more Int for some more skill points.

You will only need a total Wisdom of 14 to cast your spells, and a +1 tome (easy) with the 2 AP will put you there with no equipment slot used (until you get a Concordant Opp item :D)

Actually, one more thing - you probably won't need OTWF, so if you took cleric at level 3 you could swap it for Quicken... which you will need.

OK, this is the last - skill points could be moved around I think. Any chance you could post your skill ranks for each level? It looks like you have some in jump (naughty, naughty), and for sure you don't need more than 4 ranks in Open Lock. Instead, I'd recommend Concentration for those scrolls, and more Balance or Spot would be good too.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

I'd think that 7 Cleric + 1 Rog > 6 Cleric + 2 Fighter.

As for skills, Heal and Jump are not good choices for a build that can cast Cure spells and a 30 point jump buff.

This thread inspired me tp create one. :)

I went Rgr12/Clr7/Mnk1 (Rgr2/Clr1/Mnk1 to start)
Used the Mnk feat for Toughness.

I'd been looking for a Clr7 build that I thought would work for a long time now....seems ok. Still some issues for me to sort out...like Tempest II or AA.. :) Will Radiant Servant be worth anythig to fit it in? The new feat that will let Mnks use Longswords and stay centered....choices, choices. I have a bad habit of trying to fit too much into a build though....we'll see.

[Phidius]

After some more thinking, I got to wondering...

What advantage does this build have over a strength-based Exploiter build?

The Exploiter can already raise with scrolls, cast Freedom, cast 28.5 (3d8 + 15) Cure Serious versus the Cleric 25 (7's 4d8 + 7) Cure Critical, so more healing for less SP.


It's not that I don't believe, I'm just not seeing it ...

Yes well, how much SP does an exploiter have? Does an exploiter have enhancements to up his potential to make the most of his wands when he does run out of SP? Can an exploiter cast raise dead without the use of a scroll?

As for the rogue splash build...being feat starved your hp's have suffered.

[Phidius]

Yes well, how much SP does an exploiter have?...

Not sure as I don't have one anymore, but according to the planner (using the same wisdom and 2 ranks of enhancments) an 18/1/1 will have 299 versus 533.


... Does an exploiter have enhancements to up his potential to make the most of his wands when he does run out of SP?...

Nope - it uses Heal scrolls instead of Cure Serious wands.


...Can an exploiter cast raise dead without the use of a scroll?...

Sure can't - does the Undying Call still have a 10 minute cooldown?


...As for the rogue splash build...being feat starved your hp's have suffered...

I guess. I don't put multiple Toughness into any of my builds, although if I had a build with a surplus of feats I'd probably be tempted.

Use wisdom as dumpstat, raise cha to 15 instead and eat a +1 tome.
Drop otwf and get empower healing.
Drop ranger devotion, get the cleric version at 2, get cleric heal 2, drop extra turning, get a rank of improved turning, get radiant servant pre, get divine might 2.
That will grant you +4 damage and regenerating turns, also allows for the aura for 40-50 hp healing total.
You can use rezz scrolls with 85%, no umd as lvl 7 cleric, heal scrolls are at 65%.
With wand and scroll mastery that means you use heal scrolls at 88% of the exploiters effectiveness with no fancy equipment or gear swapping, later you can fail safe umd for 135%.
Oh and be prepared to not find a pug. :(

Was reading a thread on the healing aura that seemed to imply that engaging in combat shut off the healing aura. I'm going to have to keep up with the latest changes in the PrEs. I've got a Divine Might battle cleric that may be interested in regenerating Divine Mights...


...

Oh, you'll find them... you'll just get declined (if you're lucky) or outright ignored (most likely) by PUGs that are looking for healbots. IMHO, the best PUGs are the ones who are more concerned about the player than the build.

The aura doesn't turn off, it just stops ticking while you're hitting at stuff. (casting is ok tho)
Was more thinking about healing up between fights when soloing to conserve sp or pp.
For real battle clerics the burst heal would be interesting though because it does heal for quite a nice amount and those are often rather tight on sp.

[Phidius]

Yes, if you're in the middle of a global cooldown after taking an action (like attacking), the aura won't pulse.

And by "Yes", I mean "No". I'm not the one that set up the spell, so I was wrong. :)


I'm going to see how quickly we can get it fixed, but it very likely won't be in U5. Maybe a patch.

Edit: The bug is really mind-twisting. It's like minions of Xoriat are chewing on my brain.

The Healing Aura not pulsing during combat has been declared a bug, and it has (apparently) been fixed. Not in time for the release on Monday, but hopefully soon after.

Divine Might 2 won't be available to this build, but getting a base 14 charisma for DM1 isn't a bad idea either.

I'm starting to like Radiant Servant :D

Yes well, how much SP does an exploiter have?
My exploiter has 761, that's with no mental toughness, and only 1 rank in the AP

Does an exploiter have enhancements to up his potential to make the most of his wands when he does run out of SP?
It's called heal scrolls my friend, and if you are ever in an "Oh sh!t" moment, drink a SF pot

Can an exploiter cast raise dead without the use of a scroll?
Yes, shroud clickies
