Warforged Cleric

[Fetchi]

I am thinking of making a WF Cleric and need some help. Was thinking of starting with:

STR 10
DEX 10
CON 14
INT 10
WIS 16
CHA 12

My main question is can I take Mithral Body and 2 levels of Monk for evasion + AC? Is this a good idea in your opinion? I'm mainly concerned about survivability.

As an alternative - what is the highest DR I could achieve if I wanted to max that out to turtle up with quickened heals?

Thanks

mithral body counts as armour, and would negate your monk wisdom AC. You would still get evasion (I think), but your AC would actually be less than unarmored. Just go for the composite plating (saves you a feat too) and prepare to grind for the dragontouched docent.

dump the chr and get more dex, especially if you're getting monk lvls

14 to 16 starting dex should be allright

a few nice things about the DT docents is that they give u the highest AC available for the race, plus the ability to get either potency 7, and free up a an all too expensive kama slot for a shroud stat weapon. Or free up an AC slot with either HA 4, or dodge 3.

comp body, unless you plan on staying pure, then go addy.

I thought that WF could wear mithral body and keep all monk abilities but maybe thats just 3.5. and not DDO. I usually recommend that all WF stick with composite though. Very high DR numbers are available to WF, especially with rarer loot like the docent of defiance and the titanic docent. I would recommend picking up tower shield prof and shield m,astery to really max things out. I could see a WF cleric tumbling through his blade barriers pretty effectively. Don't take the WF improved DR enhancements though they are a nonstacking waste of AP.

I have a capped WF cleric and I love him to death...he has a nasty DR and 315+hp with no shroud item...yet


I didnt take 2 monk but went 16 cleric and have 1740sp...so you shouldnt have any prob there like most peeps think.

Max DR will be 9 if you go adamantium body, all feats into DR. You can take a few feats into DR, but really its a waste if you want cleric feats (extend/maximize/quiken/empowered heal, metal toughness maybe, spell pen...necro focus..)

If you have no metamagics, no spell pen, no mental toughness etc, the cleric abilities will be really limited, its just not worth even a 9 DR, which is less great than it sounds at level 16. Empowered healing alone will be worth more than the 1 dr you would get in its place...more healing = dont need as much dr.

Monk levels you will want a much higher dex, or else the evasion is going to be useless. The ac will be a nice add, but you will want again a good dex, or you will be no further ahead than if you took 1 ftr level and admanatium body.

So monk 2 cleric 14 - say composite body, forget charisma (you cant have 5 good stats), str 14, dex 14, con 14 wis 16, int 8 charisma 6. Find a +1 dex tome for two weapon fighting if you go that way.
Feats: quicken, empowered healing, maximize, extend, two weapon fighting (if you want to melee, and dual kamas is not bad), toughness.

If not a fighting build, then lower str, add more dex and con. Give up two weapon fighting and improved crit, take mental toughness and something else clericy.

Int of 8 unless your planning on wanting a high tumble or jump or something, 8 still gets you to max concentration, and monk at level 1 gives you a 4 in balance/tumble/jump etc, decent with a good dex and str.

If you go fighter/cleric, definately improved crit and maybe a little dr if you want. But for any cleric, quicken, maximize are not options, they are required for any high level play. Extend is really useful, but not essential...but its really useful.

I have a wf cleric 13/2 ftr/1 barb. 6 dr, quicken maximize/extend, toughness, improved crit and power attack I think.

30 str at max, 24 wis, 24/26 con or so. No dex, no int, no charisma. 389 hp with tier 3 shroud item, but only 1144 sp. he can cleric, but not the best, but can do it, and can fight very well, just needs to spend a lot of time healing with a low ac. Bladesworn and rage, madstone and pots, he can hit a 40/42 str all buffed up. Bladesworn is only for when you have a caster around to heal you, as cure spells dont work for 60 seconds...but its fun.
