Healbot Cleric enhancement chains

[Draccus]

I've been looking for advice on an enhancements for a healing-focused pure Cleric (human) but can't seem to find any. I see lots of advice on Cleric/Monks and Battle Clerics but not much on healing clerics.

Unlike my main character, a pure rogue, I'm running out of enhancements to pick. (my rogue has the opposite problem; too many good enhancements, not enough points)

The chains I'm taking so far are:

Cleric Life Magic
Cleric Energy of the Zealot
Cleric Wisdom
Cleric Divine Vitality
Cleric Spell of Life (healing crit?)

When I take Toughenss, I'll start on the Toughness chain but what else should I look at?

Extra turning for more DVs?
Improved Empowered Healing for lower SP cost?

Others?

If you are going to do the whole healbot, then look into the Divine Cleansing and Divine Healing Chains. There is also an enhancement (cannot recall right now) but every ten minutes you can use it to heal like 1000 hit points. Sovereign something or other--can't remember without logging in (maybe someone can help out-correct me)?

At higher levels, Divine cleansing is unnecessary because of the power of your HEAL spell. (although still helpful if you are mana conscious and I believe it also removes hold effects).

Extra Turns for more Divine Healing. It's generally how I keep everyone healed when playing Skeleturn.

Divine Healing III
heals 3d3 hitpoints every 2 seconds for 30 seconds - consumes 1 Turn

DH II is 2d3, DH I is 1d3.

At higher levels, Divine cleansing is unnecessary because of the power of your HEAL spell. (although still helpful if you are mana conscious and I believe it also removes hold effects).

It also gives a Fortitude Save bonus of +4 at Rank 1 and +6 at Rank 2. I can't recall offhand what else it does other then removing all kinds of ailments.

Use of the ability consumes a Turn.

There's no real reason to limit yourself to healbotting; clerics have enough ap and stat synergy that you can easily be good at two things (as a wis build, I suggest offensive casting: pick up spell penetration as well, etc)

If you're just a healbot, you'll loathe your cleric pretty fast.

Based on your small description, I think I'd go this route:

Enhancement: Unyielding Sovereignty
Enhancement: Follower of the Sovereign Host
Enhancement: Human Adaptability Wisdom I
Enhancement: Cleric Improved Empower Healing I
Enhancement: Racial Toughness I
Enhancement: Racial Toughness II
Enhancement: Cleric Life Magic I
Enhancement: Cleric Life Magic II
Enhancement: Cleric Life Magic III
Enhancement: Cleric Life Magic IV
Enhancement: Cleric Energy of the Zealot I
Enhancement: Cleric Energy of the Zealot II
Enhancement: Cleric Energy of the Zealot III
Enhancement: Cleric Energy of the Zealot IV
Enhancement: Cleric Wisdom I
Enhancement: Cleric Wisdom II
Enhancement: Cleric Wisdom III
Enhancement: Cleric Divine Cleansing I
Enhancement: Cleriic Divine Vitality I
Enhancement: Cleric Divine Vitality II
Enhancement: Cleric Divine Vitality III
Enhancement: Cleric Extra Turning I
Enhancement: Cleric Extra Turning II
Enhancement: Cleric Extra Turning III
Enhancement: Cleric Wand Mastery I
Enhancement: Cleric Wand Mastery II
Enhancement: Cleric Wand Mastery III

I personally don't like divine healing because the average healing per turn is 90 hit points. Spending six enhancement points on an ability that gives you mediocre healing and also reduces your divine vitality and divine cleansing uses just isn't the value I'd like.

The extra turning III gets the same response on the value, but there's nothing else to really spend the points on by the time you get there. Maybe drop extra turning III and get divine healing II for use in emergencies.

To the original poster:

try not to overlook wand & scroll mastery, its just as important and more important than some of the chains you have listed. Taking atleast 3 ranks of it helps quite a bit when tossing heal scrolls, as nothing else will boost them.

DC and DH are extremely good at lower levels but at higher levels, they fail miserably
