My Perfect Cleric - With Equip Wish List

[Feylina]

Feylina - Lvl 16 Human Cleric


Abilities:

Str. 8 -> 14 (+6 Levvik's)
Dex. 8 -> 8
Con. 16 -> 24 (+2 tome +6 con ring)
Int. 8 -> 8
Wis. 18 -> 34 (+3 tome, Lorrik's Necklace, +4 ability ancrease, +3 enhancements)
Char. 14 -> 22 (+2 tome, +6 from armor)

Notes: 14 charisma will give 11 dvs, 15 if i'm in party healer mode. more than adequite for me.


Skills:

Concentration (24 before items)
Balance (8 before items and in robes)

Notes: Most people take diplomacy, especially on a high char character like a cleric. never needed it really. i prefer the concentration. there are times when i'm looking to conserve sp and don't have quicken on. and it's nice to be able to take the hit without losing the spell. balance is a must imo although i could see taking diplo also here or even haggle.


Feats:

Empower Healing
Mental Toughness
Extend
Improved Mental Toughness
Quicken
Maximize
Empower

Note: when parked in healer mode and not soloing i swap maximize for Extra Turn Undead for 15 dv's.


Enhancements:

Human Adaptability Wisdom
Cleric Improved Empower Healing I, II, III
Racial Toughness I, II
Cleric Life Magic I, II, III, IV
Cleric Improved Spell Penetration I
Cleric Energy of the Zealot I, II, III, IV
Cleric Wisdom I, II
Cleric Divine Vitality I, II, II
Cleric Extra Turning I, II
Cleric Wand and Scroll Mastery I, II, III, IV

Notes: You will notice i don't have anything for my heal crits. i used to but i find them a terrible waste of ap. if i can't keep a party up with a 400+ heal and my masses then there is more to worry about than being able to crit an extra 9% of the time.


Equipment:

Armor: Dragontouched outfit - Fearsome, Charisma +6, Lorik's

Main Hand: Wand or Scroll; Skiver - Archmagi, Greater Arcane Lore, Improved Extend I, Improved Empower II
Offhand: Lorik's Champion - Panacea (CL:9, 2/rest), Lorikk's Champion, Eternal Faith; Superior Potency 6
Goggle: Shroud goggle - Blindness immunity, disease immunity, +150 Sp, Slay living guard
Head: Minos Legos - Heavy Fortification, Toughness
Trinket: Silver Flame Talisman - Deathblock, Negative energy absorbtion; Dusk Heart - Improved False Life, Dusk
Necklace: Lorrik's Necklace - Lorikk's Champion, Wisdom +6, Wizardry VI, Efficient Metamagic - Empower Healing II
Wrist: Levik's Bracer - Healing Amplification 20%, Strength +6; Armor +8
Glove: Gloves of the Glacier - Glacial Assault, Efficient Metamagic - Maximize II, Efficient Metamagic - Extend II
Belt: Proof Agains Poison Belt of Greater false life
Cloak: Shroud: +6 con skills +45 hp, greater disruption guard
Ring: +6 con
Boots: Gyroscopic boots of striding, Firestorm Greaves
Ring: Utility - feather falling, Ring of spell storing, Reaver ring, Ring of the Djinn

Notes: kind of a mess of equipment. i'm mostly looking for the metamagic bonuses; improved empower, maximize and extend mostly for soloing. although having empower healing and empower on for mass cures for only 15 sp is kind of nice.

End Results:

16 Human Cleric
367 hp
1765 sp (counting skiver to not stack with wizardry)
Superior Devotion 8 or Superior Potency 6 for soloing
9% crit chance on all spells
Maximize for 19 sp
Empower for 11 sp
Extend for 8 sp
Empower Healing for 4 sp

i'm sure equipment will get better and some of this is a waste for in the future. but hey if i had that attitude i'd park fey, roll a lowbie or go play something else til 20 cap comes along.

on a pure cleric, with maxed wisdom, you could probably do without one of the mental T's. Heighten would be a worthwhile addition, as it would allow you to more effectively use the alignment spells at level cap, no SP needed on those, and can be an effective short term cc.

[Hafeal]

Pretty much a standard back-of-the-line healing cleric. No melee ability to speak of.

You will have to use your inflict spells for offensive fire power. Your blade barrier will be average. Your light spells (nimbus, smite, searing light) will be weak without enhancements.

Trinket: Silver Flame Talisman - Deathblock, Negative energy absorbtion

That's a necklace.

maximize is fine by itself without empower and empower healing. spell pen 1 and two or something else would be better imo. maybe toughness if you are all about the hp.

i'm for the concentration though. doesn't that help with casting scrolls when you are in a tight spot?

Blade barrier doesnt benefit from any enhancements at all... A Skiver, Maximize, EMpower, and Extend mean he has the stongest blade barrier potential in the game.

[Anthios888]

Blade barrier may not be affected by enhancements, but it does benefit from wisdom and heighten, especially in high level quests, so he would arguably do more damage with an insight wisdom weapon from the shroud than from a skiver, since the blade barrier damage would not be halved most of the time.

PS - no stormreaver's napkin?

Its a reflex save. and with a 34 Wisdom, your not lacking in the DC Department at all. The only mob that I've run into that has a high enough Reflex save to constantly take no damage from my blade barriers is the named cat in the Soami Gardens.. Drop a Curse, Prayer, and Symbol of pain and even the cat doesnt save all the time... I end up using a lot of spell points getting those to land, but its doable.

[kinar]

THe named monk in monestary, the end boss in monestary (although he is closer in line with the cat outside) and also the named vampire in the 4th reaver refuge area are also pretty much immune to BB.

But yes, I agree that anything else to enhace his BB would be a waste considering he is obvioulsy a healbot.

good arguements on all sides

sorry i didn't notice the silver flame being a necky currently i using dw on the robes not fearsome that was a quick afterthought with oooo deathblock

as far as melee i can't imagine swinging a weapon i've never needed too.

as far as alignment based spells. i've had em maxed empowered with max enhancements. i'm neutral so i can cast any of them. and the most i've seen out of them is around 160 with sup pot 6. scuse me while i go grab my harm spell or a comet fall.

with this build. or at least the current fey with about 4 important items missing from the equip i find soloing very nice. i can do all the vale, desert, all of mountain, most of soami sans the beholder, and puppy and portal in valley and i usually leave the giant alone.

quests i run for loot are monastary hard, litany vol and mentau side.

sorry this isn't bragging i'm sure a sorc could do as well. just to show that a pure cleric can be quite versatile without having to swing a weapon.

strongest spells i have are arguable bb, cometfall and harm that's why i'm currently going for skiver for the greater arcane lore. mebe cross my fingers for a crit.

as far as heal botting is concerned. sure why not. i take pride in my healing and do have a perfect cleric in mind for it. that's why it's "my" perfect cleric . i don't see dropping empower healing when it only costs me 4 sp to use. and if i really want extra healing i could hit the empower adding even more for 15 sp which is current sp cost for empower alone.

forgot to mention heighten. sorry i like to solo yes but i'm not so stubborn to go after mobs that take an arse ton of sp and time for a chest or even just to say i do it. in monastary i ignore the named monk and if i can't solve the puzzle without hurting sanny then i don't bother. i don't need eldrich runes and i'm fully stocked up on essence. i can see trying to get the extra dc on my bb but it's just not necessary for what i've needed to do.
