Ok so i m figuring i ll end up with 32 str, 28 Wis, 32 Dex and 24 Con all unbuffed. My strength with titan gloves and rams might will be 40 + rage 42, add yugo pots and divine power will get to 46!!!

HP will sit around 420 which is a bit low but not too bad.

AC

10 Base
8 Bracers
11 Dex
9 Wis
2 Tempest
4 Icy
5 Deflection
4 GS rapier
1 Dodge Feat
5 Barkskin

59

4 Shield

63

5 Paladin Aura
1 Haste
2 Chaosguards

71

Self healing and buffing with up to lvl 6 cleric spells (Heal), radiant aura and burst healing, prayer, recitation, dw, FoM, resists and over 1300 sp to burn

I need your comments to help me improve this build, i believe this is going to be a very capable solo build, very capable mellee / dps for end game and a generally good addition to any party. Probably can also be quite effective as a backup healer.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Tempest 1 isn't nearly as useful as it used to be.


I don't understand why people try so hard to make 'solo' builds and then think they make a good addition to a party. Here are some reasons why this kind of build is a bad idea.
1. You can't melee and cast at the same time. You have to stop doing one to do the other, meaning you are only performing ONE role at a time.
2. You have to give up melee feats, BAB, and enhancements to add those caster levels, making your melee less capable than a real melee build. Take a look at the extra enhancements and feats a real melee build has over yours.
3. You have to give up SPs, spell choices, spell DCs, and casting enhancements, making your caster levels less effective than a full caster.
4. Your SPs are significantly lower than a real healer, meaning your group will still have to find a healer to do a quest. Most real healers can handle healing in most quests without a backup healer.
5. You want to solo? Go ahead. If you want in a group though, you will probably be denied a lot because they don't understand your build. You might be able to get into Shroud if you tell them you are a melee DPS, but only if they don't care about your odd build.

Answers are in Green, thanks for the comments!

Yes but you can help with buffing and conserving the sp of your healer, the aura which is fixed now will help heal during the fights etc..
2. You have to give up melee feats, BAB, and enhancements to add those caster levels, making your melee less capable than a real melee build. Take a look at the extra enhancements and feats a real melee build has over yours.
Don't give up that much as far as melee feats go (Power Attack, toughness, 2WF, improved 2wf, imp crit, etc, BAB will be 16 which is not that low
3. You have to give up SPs, spell choices, spell DCs, and casting enhancements, making your caster levels less effective than a full caster.
SP is acceptable as far as not being the main healer goes, i get almost all the main cleric spells except the mass spells (Which makes it difficult playing main healer but this build is not designed to be that) Spell choices are not poor at all thanks to the huge spell selection offered to clerics, spell dcs will be low but this is not an offensive caster build but can throw the occasional BB
4. Your SPs are significantly lower than a real healer, meaning your group will still have to find a healer to do a quest. Most real healers can handle healing in most quests without a backup healer.
5. You want to solo? Go ahead. If you want in a group though, you will probably be denied a lot because they don't understand your build. You might be able to get into Shroud if you tell them you are a melee DPS, but only if they don't care about your odd build.
I m usually going to play with my guildies but i will be able to solo almost every quest in game that is soloable.

imo you should increase your cha so you can acess Divine Might I or II, because if you take the rs pre you will get regenerating turns. since your tr'ing you have enough stat points to drop wis by 1 and dex by 1 and pump all that into cha, add in your +2 tome and you can use your turns for unlimited +2 or +4 damage.

and this is just fluff stuff, but i would not put so may skill points into jump and waiting until 18 to get tempI seems like a waste.
