Survival Zealot

[Divyne]

I know, I know.....Never a reason to splash more than 2, max three levels on a Cleric build. But I think this set up really takes advantage of the evasion from monk while still being a respectable Cleric. Keep in mind that I have Icy Raiment, spectral gloves(soon to be epic), and a few other toys to use for this build. I plan on using rapiers and still having decent healing/BB's.

Please lemme know some feedback as this is looking better to me as a TR all the time. Suggestions or flat talking me out of it are both welcome.

If you are going to use rapiers, then there is no reason to focus on monk things.... like fist of light. Go paladin 3 instead, 2 LoH and fear immunity.

I cannot really give a reason not to make it.. I like multiclassing myself a little to much.

[Trillea]

The only possible problem I see is lack of level 9 spells and lack of SP, but the survivability is WAY up there!

[Rasczak]

don't do it..one of the biggest parts of survivability is to kill stuff before they kill you

Good point. Paly 3 monk 2 would probably play better. Ill look into it , Ty.

Fair point .....but I don't plan on soloing many quests at end game so, this might just get me by. At least until they bother to fix mass Heal .

Thoughts.

Why not take the past life Ranger feat to self-cast barkskin?

I would think even as a finesse build you may want more str.

I originally had barkskin in the build but wasn't sure what to get rid of to get it. I didn't really want to part with maximize or empower and even with wep finesse, I would not want to lose OTWF feat as I put level ups into wis to maintain some DC.

Indeed, str should probably be bumped up some but not really wanting to part with Cha for divine might, dex for ac/to-hit, Con (self-explainitory), and Wis for mana, ac, and DC. Could drop int 2 and add to str but already skill point starved.

Thanks for the thoughts.

3rd monk level really gives you nothing usefull if you fight with real weapons.


Why not 2 Paladin / 2 Monk / 16 FvS with the drow god of Shortsword´iness?

FvS with this god get nice combatboni, which you could really utilise.
