Divine Light

[Fennario]

I'm bored, so I was thinking about Divine Light. I only ever tried it on my pally way back when it first came out and concluded that it sucked.

I was thinking of trying it on my cleric. I rarely use my DVs anymore, and when I do I'm not sure that they are even "absolutely needed".

Do metamagics (maximize, empower) enhance this ability? Do the cleric smiting enhancements enhance this ability? What about potency items?

If the answer is yes to one of these questions then I will try it out. If its no to all of them, then I'll probably pass.

I dont think they are. THey certainly were not when they first came out. WOuld definatly make them more viable if they were. I dont see why Dragonmarks should be effected by all the Items and enhancments, but not Standard enhancments....

I do not believe that DL is affected by anything, just like DV, and DH are unaffected as well. It would be real nice if they got some boosts or could benefit, but so far nope.

As for how useful, depends. I had DLIII on my undead hunting cleric and she used it mostly when running solo, since otherwise it would be wasted on undead that could not be destroyed by turning. Since you can spam DL pretty dang fast, and drop an occasional MCSW in between, you can effect the death of packs of undead with minimal SP use. (Sometime Blade Barrier is not the best solution - rarely but it can happen.)
