Looking for advice on Clr/Rng build

[zerth222]

Hello all, just hoping for you to take a look over my build and see what you think.

Couple of notes:

This is a build for a casual duo team only - no public groups, no raiding, no real emphasis on having the absolute best gear at all times. My partner is a Fighter with a splash of Rogue.

The two level ranger splash and the OTWF feat might raise eyebrows. Yeah, I know it's probably not optimal, but for personal/vanity reasons I want to keep that aspect of the build intact (also, I don't want to be a Paladin, and FvS is not available to me).

Goals:

Primary - Melee/Heal
Secondary - CC
Tertiary - Damaging/Instakill spells

I left my last two feats empty, because I really didn't know what would be best to plan for. Spell Pen? Empower? Also, would dropping Wis for a little extra Str be worthwhile if I do plan on quite a bit of melee, or am I getting to the point where I'd be severely neutering my spells? Oh, and I didn't do the skill points (lazy), but with 8 Int it's pretty much going to be Con/Bal every level I assume.

Thanks for any advice and suggestions!

You should always start with the class in your build getting most skills, since for level 1 its multiplied by 4, in your case ranger gets more skill points than cleric, therefor start as a ranger if you must do this splash. (i'd rather take 2 fighter levels)

for what your goals are....looks like a LOT of fun. Seems like you want to dual-wield. Though dual-wielding without improved 2 weapon fighting and greater 2 weapon fighting is kinda "sub-optimal".

You could "splash" FTR or Barb or even PLD for the martial weapon prof.

BUT you seem to want to dual-wield. I would also consider going dwarf for Dwarven Waraxes. I would take Empower instead of maximize early on. And take maximize later (like lvl 15).

I would lower my WIS to a 16 and increase my CON. I would start at a 14 CON atleast if I was human or a 16 if you go Dwarf.

Improved Crit what-ever weapon style you choose would be nice also.

I do think splashing 2 levels of FTR and going with 2 hand fighting would be better though. I would choose Dwarf for the Great-Axe bonus too.
