It would help if you reviewed your build goals. Issues I see:

You dumped STR & CHA; that's going to hurt your melee & ranged DPS. You appear to want to go DEX-based, but you didn't take anything which lets you add DEX to dmg; Finesse only applies to to-hit and you don't have Tempest or Imp Weap Finesse.
You went WIS-based and loaded up on DiDi, but stop at lvl 7 spells (cleric 14) and don't take any DC-boosting feats (Heighten, Spell Focus); that hurts your DC-based casting.
You load up on Mental Toughnesses rather than metamagics or more melee feats like GTWF - why?
You loaded up on AA enhs, but took IC:Pierce & Finesse. If you plan to focus on archery, you should take IC:Ranged instead; if you plan to focus on melee, you should put pts into Tempest and DWS.


Bottom line: I see a char which tries to do too much (melee, ranged, and caster DPS) and won't be very good at any of it.

[ValariusK]

Here's what I suggest:
Go 18 cleric/2 ranger or 17 cleric/3 ranger.
Since you're using ranger levels instead of fighter or pally in your splash, you obviously want to TWF and use bows. However going below 17 cleric is a really major sacrifice and even going below 18 is a significant one (warpriest, where you may seriously want to be has a nice core at 18th that gives you haste in your spell list).

If you go 2 ranger, you'll get bow strength, basic twf, and rapid shot. You'll also get a lot of skill points to make use of. 3 ranger will give you +10% off hand strike percentage if you pony up the 6 points in tempest, which you should. 3 ranger also gives you the option of scimitars as light weapons, which is effectively +2 better accuracy, which might matter for you depending on the rest of your build. +10% more offhand strike will let you get to 90%, which is nice for ameliorating strike, which if you're NOT doing makes a ranger splash kind of pointless (if you're not planning that, just do fighter-1/pally-2, heck, you can even do this easy with a purple dragon knight iconic and start at 15th).

For enhancements you want at least 22 points of warpriest (up to AM strike) and more likely 25 (to get the 12th level core, another +1 strength, and AM strike). You can't do everything well, so I suggest stacking up the radiant to 32 points to get healing aura. Healing aura plus AM strike will give you a lot of party utility and make most of it mana free (your healing bursts, aura and am strike should take care of most damage most of the time).

For races, if you desperately want to dump strength, which I don't recommend because you can and should be adding your charisma bonus to it with divine might, go elven. You can then do dex to damage with the particular elven suite you choose. You probably can't afford to be good at both twf and bows. If you want something self-sufficient that is good with twf and bows and only moderately bad at healing, you might consider ranger-12/cleric-7/rogue-1---that's what I'm running presently.

But sacrificing your mass heal , implosion and energy drain really isn't a good idea unless you're getting a LOT for it, which you won't be. Also, I don't recommend chaotic neutral. You can make an argument for the various good alignments, since some ED powers give you your alignment in damage type DR breakers, but if you're not doing that, I suggest true neutral. That will limit the damage you take and also make superior stability open to you for gear options. Superior stability crafted armor is really nice, even up to moderate epic levels.

You'll want to focus on either bows or melee weapons. Its one or the other. Unless you plan on running heroic normal or hard(EC or EN with no focus), you'll need to focus your abilities. The elf racial tree offers a lot for a ranged DEX build, so you may want to look into that. Aerenal longbow bonuses pay dividends from korthos to cap. For EE, I currently play a pure Elf AA Ranger and it really works, I'm so bored of monk splashes, and I (barely over a BF sorc) had top kills in an at level EE Belly of the Beast. There must be something to the class. The more you thin out your character, the harder of a time you'll have. Specialize in one thing, and you'll be a valuable asset. A cleric focused in healing is a huge asset for melees wanting to run EE.

As an old PnP player, I'd like more options for a bludgeoning weapon warpriest, but it doesn't exist in DDO outside of sun elf. Even then, you're better of with Valenar scimitar crit range. I just chalk it up to a loss.

My current favorite thing for heroic cleric life TR is a lawful good, dual wielding elf scimitar pure cleric warpriest, assuming you've saved past life gear to maximize the build. Even without all that junk, you'll do well. A good stock of disruption/banishing/smiting/vorpal scimitars, a HN and HE Shamanic Fetish and white dragonplate is easily enough to breeze through a heroic TR. The damage is there and the healing is there, so it's doable. I can also spot heal a PUG. I'm definitely weaker than a pure healer or warrior, but I can solo quests when the LFM is dry. The drawback to TWF style is that you have to focus on one enemy at a time, because cleric doesn't get a ton of feats.

80% of traps can be largely mitigated with Prot From Energy spell/scroll and HP boosting spells. PRR and stoneskin helps with the other 9%. Nothing helps fleshies against poison traps aside from high HP.

Elf allows you to dump STR (gaining racial scimitar DEX bonus) and focus on WIS, CON and DEX for TWF feats. You need a 12 STR for oversized TWF feat, which is important. This might be a good 36pt/+4 tome build, I haven't crunched the numbers. I use my light/good spells as supplemental ranged and mob damage primarily.

Keep in mind that melee drops off considerably when you hit 20. Enemies do so much DPS that its hard to keep up without strong self healing. Their hit bonuses assure that you will take a ton of damage if you have 1-2 opponents' aggro. As of now, a ranged evasion build with cocoon and dodge/ghostly/blur will always be better for levels 20+. Even on EH, enemies will hit you with heavy armor 90% of the time. They almost never miss.
