Warforged Cleric Advice

[Hvymetal]

Did you splash any pally or fighter levels and what were you starting stats? Looking to roll a wf cleric and looking for some different builds to mix and match.

I splashed 1 level of Paladin at level 2 (when really doesn't matter much started with a 14 STR 10 DEX 12 CON 10 INT 16 WIS 6 CHA, I probably should have started with an 8 DEX and probablly could have gone with a 8 INT but I wanted the extra skill point and really I would have just added them to CON and with self-healing my HP are fine.

I went with 16,10,16,8,14,6 for mine(pretty sure anyway going off memory) Figured focus on str for my level upsand with a +6 item,+2 or 3 tome and cleric wis 3 I'll have a respectable wisdom. I have been thinking of splashing either pally or fighter. Will probably go pally for the SP.

I do sometimes wish I might have devoted more to strength, but I also dabble in offensive casting and honestly buffed up I am not really having much trouble hitting anything. (Especially when it's greater commanded or tripped by a cometfall)

Edit: Plus there is something beutifull about Greater command + Firewall

I've been playing Clerics almost exclusively, but never really built a BattleCleric yet. So I too rolled a WF BattleCleric:

My beginning stats:

STR 16 (+3)
DEX 11 (+0)
CON 13 (+1)
INT 8 (-1)
WIS 17 (+3)
CHA 6 (-2)

I decided to max out WIS, at the cost of CON. not sure if the right decision but I"ll roll with it. I'm going down Bladesworn Transformation too, I always saw it there with my other Clerics, but this is my first Warforge so I wanted to see what it does.

I have never multi-classed any of my other clerics, I stayed away from that, but, with this build, it's a different story. I'm at Lvl 2 right now, and I'm bantering about what other class to take. It's either a fighter or Pally. I like the extra feat the Fighter gets, I can grab another Cleric feat, and Fighter gets me martial weapons and such.

But the Pally also gets me the same, plus +1 AC bonus and immunity effects, but I loose the extra feat, but a bump up in SP.

Go with extra Feat with fighter, or +1 AC, boost in SP and immunity effects with Pally..........

Can somone tell me if I need to take a lvl of fighter at any specific time. Right now, I'm a lvl 2 cleric, if I take a level of fighter next lvl, will I still get the extra feat?

i just rolled a 32 pointer and my max wis was 16. all i did was 14 str, 14 dex, 14 con, 16 wis, and char and int base.

Just an update on my WF BattleCleric.

I took a lvl of Fighter, so Im 3/1 Cleric/fighter build. I would have to say, it's been fun. Its exactly what I was looking for, much more melee than my other clerics, a well placed Command spell, and he hits pretty hard.

I decided to go with Power Attack, and eventually Cleave and GreatCleave line with him. I have Mental Toughness for the SP and it's a good balance. A few +2 items work out very well. One shortfall is the INT stat. I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to use Repair Wands, I need to dump skill points into Repair as well as Wand Mastery, need a serious INT bonus item. Why WF aren't proficient with repair wands sure makes me scratch my head.

Keeping a close eye on my combat log, with a +1 Holy GreatAxe, Bulls STR, Bless, Divine and Power Attack, I'm criting for around 70damage, I've hit ~90 once, averaging around ~40 depending on the enemy and which greataxe I use.

I went with Adamantine body, with +2 Docent, and a few pots, my AC is repectable, not crazy good, but good enough.

If I ever get a +4 STR item drop, and take Bladesworn, I'm looking at a +8 STR right there, which is a serious damage improvement, albeit for only 1 minute, but sometimes that minute is all that counts.
Funny though, entered a group, someone said, oh look he's a warforge, let me guess, BattleCleric. I said yep, no nannybot here, but this toon can hold his own, heal from the front lines and do some CC to boot, lets go and have fun.

I wouldn't worry so much about using repair wands. Just take the hit for healing. When you finnaly get the heal spell it's really not such a big deal.
