This build is completely copy and pasted in many sections, without permission, from my guild forums. The build is Fanfare on Ghallanda (http://my.ddo.com/character/ghallanda/fanfare), which had previously been posted in its 32-point incarnation as Unyielding Crusader (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=166648).

Fan and I are known for publishing our builds because we are generally quite happy to see them shared. This one already has a thread, but Fan had not finished the TR and wanted to wait to post it until she could talk about the playstyle with more authority.

And, as you know, Fan did suggest that you might enjoy something similar for Nixero.

However, enjoying a build concept and copy and pasting major sections onto the main boards, under your own heading, without permission and without attribution ... this is just dishonest.

Nixero, I hope you take this lesson with you not only as you continue on the DDO forums but also as you are finishing high school and college.



I like battleclerics and I've always loved Fanfare, my 18 cleric/2 monk khopesh battlecleric. I've been thinking about going over to favored soul because they get more spell points and wings.

But you know what I like even better than spell points and wings? DPS. With a 36 point build, I can make a max strength, khopesh battlecleric with divine might III (+6 damage/swing). I'm currently a 32 point build, so I'm going to reroll monk once (for the passive +1 damage), and then make this 36 point battlecleric crazy build! +7 to +8 damage/swing over my current build - yeah!

This build also gets a helpful level of armor class as an afterthought without really trying or putting on armor class gear (60 self-buffed, 72 max).

As a cleric I get much nicer spell selection than a favored soul. Holy aura just got improved, so it now grants+4 ac and saves to the whole group. I couldn't fit it in as a favored soul splash build. Death pact (throwing myself a raise after death) is another nice spell I get to keep that I wouldn't as a fvs.

So battlecleric it is! I hope to go warpriest with this build eventually, but will spec radiant servant until warpriest is out.

[Nomical]

Note, this build is a reference post for myself. It is not a build for beginners, as it does require raid gear.

This build is meant to be a Dps battle-cleric. The good thing about Clerics is there survivability, with radiant servant/BB's/and great healing ability they can put them selves up there with some of the best solo builds and with the right feats/gear you can make a pretty solid Dps toon.

The goals of this build:

[color=orange]Damage: This build should be capable of doing enough melee DPS to pull their weight filling a melee role in any raid on Elite or Epic (they need not be an all-star, but they will pull their weight).
[color=orange]Soloing: They should be able to solo tough endgame quests such as Elite Sins of Attrition, Elite A New Invasion, and future high-level content.
[color=orange]Healing: Healing on this build will be great especially for a battle cleric. Could possibly Solo heal elite shrouds and other epics/raids with the right player and gear.

I'm extremely disappointed, Nixero. As Rock posted above, and everyone not on the GRR boards can see, your post is largely a direct copy-paste of my own main build, that I posted on our guild forums in July and suggested for you in August. It's just not okay to copy/paste without asking first. I'm all for sharing similar builds, but this is straight copy/paste plagiarism in large part. I'd like if you removed it so that I can maintain my own build thread when I finish leveling.

If you wanted a
