Cleric end-game gear

[Eistander]

Like the title says, I finally have my cleric up to level 18, so I figure I should start looking at gear to work towards. I am pretty much a generalist cleric (offensive/healing) but I am unsure of what I should be aiming for, to ensure that my cleric-ing is at peak.

GFL/con 6 belt (Siberys or Knosts)

Ardor clickie belt (can't remember what they're called but there are 2 of them in Amrath and people will happily hand them over to you most of the time). You use the clickie then swap back to your GFL/Con 6 belt.

You probably already have the gloves from the Reavers raid for the devotion thing... (Gauntlets of Eternity).

Start running the worlds most boring quest for the bauble (Weapons Shipment). Take alcohol and friends to live through it to each ransack - unless you're one of those reallly lucky sods who make us all depressed.

You probably already have DT armour. If you're lucky you may have the good sovereign rune (I don't on mine). Maybe a +5 resist, GFL? whatever...

Those uberer than I will be along shortly to answer in more and better detail.... (Just trying to live through the last 30mins of work today...)

[Maxwell1380]

Epic ring of spellstoring is awesome, epic torque from DQ, any concordant opposition greensteel is a big help, obviously hp and sp items from the shroud help a bunch too. Maybe the Lorrik's set (can't remember if it drops in hound or vod) and if you are lucky lorrik's 3 on your dt armor. The belt from amrath as mentioned...and definitly the mysterious bauble from weapons shipment

[The_Great_Samulas]

- epic helm of the mroran (dragon raid)
- epic Dragon belt
- epic or non-epic green blade (DQ raid)
- epic or non-epic Torc (DQ raid)
- Amarath belt clickies for superior ardor VIII (2 of them)
- Amarath belt clicky for jump level 15
- Amarath necklace cliky for greater heroism
- Amarath necklace clicky for invisibility
- Planar gird (xorian cypher) - two clickies of GH are recommended to have
- Noxiou embers (Abbott) - 5 clickies that make maximize meta free for a bit
- Staff of the Petitioner (Abbott) - 10% reduction in mana use and greater spell focuses
- Vile blasphemy (Abbott)- 200 mana a shrine
- Littany of the Dead (Abbott) - better saves, attacks, and stats
- Various epic weapons and GS weapons - I would recommend a lightning strike longsword, mineral II longsword, and epic Unkors cleaver (even without proficiency in battle axe, debuff is nice in epics)
- power five weapons
- Maldroit of bone breaking weapon - to enhance bladebarrier damage
- Concordiant opposition greensteel
- Mana greensteel
- Both hound shields - fighter one when regenerating mana through agro and shield blocking, other one when S/B
- Loricks necklace when healboting in raids
- Dragon touched armor - you can tailor it as your needs change
- ToD ring(s) - +2 ex con and str, greater devotion VIII, 20% healing amp.
- Amarath archmage set to help bladebarriers
- Amarath occult slayer set for survivability - gives con6 and grter falselife, get rid of it once you have epic dragon belt
- Epic Red Fens gloves
- Bracers of the Demons Consort (DQ raid)
- fully upgraded silver flame amulet - nice when chopping on beholders

That should keep you busy.

*/laughtersnort

such an intimidating list!

(but yeah... what he said).

i was going to say the lorriks neck from hound ... fairly easy loot... the amrath clickie for GH also comes on the neck so that's a pain as it's most likely goign to be your first sp item (unless you have a chance at doing a greensteel sp item any time soon) but planar girds can be a pain to loot/buy.

oh and the jump belt (Morah's) as mentioned above def! fairly easy to get and jump, moving vertically away for damage, is an important buff. not to mention that it's just a lot of fun to be able to jump on a cleric

good luck with that.

[satanofmetal]

- Epic Spectales of Spirit Sight
- Epic Vambracers of Inner Light
- Bracers of Glacier
- Epic Dustless Boots
- Helm GS Min2 with +6con
- Amaras Band
- Amaras Belt - kind fun having the amaras set
- Cloak GS Concord. Oppos. (Healing Lore and +150 SP)
- Bramble Caster -> epic in the future is nice extra slot
- Litany of the Dead
- Shintao Cord -> Swap to Torc or Noxios Ember when needed
- Epic Bejeweled Letter Opener
- Epic Kundarak Warding Shield (Or Any good Shield actually) - Swap both bejeweled and shield for Green Blade + Sup Potency VI item when needed, or grab a Epic Dragons Eye for Superior Efficacy Click.

That should keep u busy for quite few months
oh yea dont forget usefull clicks like GH and Jump

[p3n1x0r]

- Maldroit of bone breaking weapon - to enhance bladebarrier damage


id like a bit of clarification on how that weapon translates into enhancing BB damage....

am i missing something? that weapon wouldnt change bb damage, unless it was a potency or spell pen item right?

[kinar]

Maladorit / bone breaking reduces dex which reduces reflex saves.

at higher levels, most mobs have pretty decent reflex saves which halves (or eliminates) dmg from BB.

Even red names can have thier reflex save dropped by 5 from dex damage which shoudl mean more full damage hits more frequently.

[jmonty]

a huge stack of mana pots





once i make a min II great ax i'm gonna start after some of those epic goodies myself

[phalaeo]

None of these are essential and some are harder to get for than others, but here's a list of things to shoot for (and comments). Yes, I carry all of the following on my Cleric, or have in the bank except the ones with the asterisks, so this is doable. Taken me about a year to get this geared, though.

Bracers of the Glacier (Archmagi, Spell Pen and Fireshield: Cold guard)
Any CON 6, GFL Belt from Amrath (I like Vorne's)
BOTH Tokala's and Amara's belts from Amrath (Not for permanent wear, for the Ardor clickies)
Noxious Embers (Greater Arcane Lore, Lesser Maximize clicky)
Stormreaver's Napkin (+1 to all DCs)
Lorrik's Necklace (You'll outgrow it, but if you only have +6 WIS on a neck, the SP reduction for Emp. Healing is a step up)
Litany of the Dead (+1 to ALL stats, 50% SP reduction clicky- if you like to hit stuff, there's a +1 profane bonus to-hit which is nice)
Spectral Gloves/ * Tumbleweed (If you like to hit stuff- good sourced of DEX, plus a 2 to-hit bonus)
Gauntlets of Eternity (Healing lore if you don't have Greater Arcane Lore and don't need Gloves slot)
Greensteel Goggles (Wiz 6, 150 Exceptional SP and Con opp is popular- I advise against putting a damage guard on your SP item- if you run or sole something like Sleeping Dust, it sucks to take it off and lose SP so you don't kill spiders, etc.)
Rahl's Might, Force version- good for Imp. Armor destruction- nice toy, not necessary
Dreamspitter (You want this for the neg level drain on crit- use in Epics when mobs are held)
Potency Necklace from Amrath (I like Torin's Choker- goes with the Warchanter Band, when both are equipped, you get a 4SP reduction on using Maximize. If you dual-wield or S+B, this opens a hand slot)
Greensteel HP item (Cloak is popular slotting)
Greensteel Healing Amp one-hander (I just got one- I LOVE it for raid healing- makes my aura tic on me for much higher so I can concentrate on the group)
Dragontouched Armor/Robes
Greensteel Stoneskin and Displacement clicky(s)- (Stoneskin comes on any GS HP item with CON skills- again, not needed, but helps)
Morah's Belt from Amrath (Jump clicky, 3 x per day- nice)
Kaelth's Touch- (Trinket from Necro scarab turn ins- Indispensable, IMO. Undead Guard, DR 5/Evil... fantastic for soloing Orchard for taps to sell. Between this and the Bracers of the Glacier guard, I can block and kill wraiths just letting them hit me. Good for VoD, too from what I've heard.)
* Torc, if you get lucky. I haven't
Head of Good Fortune- (Nice for Luck bonus to saves and skills, I throw it on situationally
ToD rings, whatever one works best for you with whatever you want crafted on it. I have +2 WIS on mine.
* Deific Diadem- Nice to be able to use Heighten for no addt'l SP if you have the feat.
* Vile Blasphemy- SP clickies!
Twisted Talisman- SP! 150 Free SP!!!'
Mysterious Bauble- More free SP!!!
Ring of Spell Storing- You get more off the Talisman and Bauble, but free SP is good. MORE FREE SP!
Planar Gird, Draconic Necklace from Amrath for GH clicky.
Skiver, if you can get all the tome pages to turn in (Archmagi)- IMO, you can get AM in better slots.
Atonement for running Abbot (Keeps you from getting Quelled and hence being unable to heal)
Boots of Anchoring for ToD.


Toys I keep in my inventory, YMMV:
Double Pos G-Steel Q-staff for Orchard farming- Raise Dead clicky for when I really need it.
Obsidian of the Twelve - two clickies Raise Dead for emergencies- Planar Shard turn-in
All of the planar shard turn ins with mass cures- Once finished healing an SoS with these- cheaper than drinking a pot.
2 Rest of the Eladrin statuettes- Small Eberron D-shard turn ins. I keep these if running Elite Amrath and I need SP. Cheaper than pots, depending.
100 Recon scrolls to give to an Arcane if things get messy and if they run out during ToD.
At least 3 Ddoor scrolls to give to someone with UMD or a caster if they are needed to finish a hairy quest.
Invis. Clicky
Sacred Band (ring swap before Shrining, more DVs- give em' to Arcanes while they buff. I always get a jump or extra Blur or Displacement if I offer to DV)
Firestorn Greaves
Bluefire Necklace
Beholder Optic Nerves, if you can get 'em.
Titan's Grip- +6 extra STR is good when you need it.
Pouch of Jerky- I use it for the Neut. Poison clicky- I like saving SP everywhere I can.
Curse pots- I use them instead of using my SP on myself, and for tanks who can't (or don't have time to) remove their own in ToD/VoD. Right now, Guild pots are broken and you can't funnel them, so I get them from the regular vendors. Regular vendor ones are also good cause you can split off 10 for whatever noob forgot to pick up their own before VoD.


EDIT: Forgot a few things-
Shard Trinket of Mnemonic Enhancement- You get this from turning in 3 Med. Eberron D-shards. It's 20 Major pots... in a Trinket! Free SP!
Haste Pots
Kormor's Belt from Amrath- Allows you to Dance people who zerg ahead with no buffs.... most people just like to let them die, I make them take their medicine.
Portal Beater- Every bit helps- besides, what else are you going to do during Shroud 1? Grab a cheap(ish) Anarchic Burst of PG or whatever, depending on alignment.
Seal of the Earth is another Stoneskin Clicky

Things to think about:
Guards- you can put them on DT armor or GSteel, as well as getting them on other items. Think carefully about what guard you want depending on your playstyle. High-damage guards like Lightning Strike will earn you some aggro- if you run around like a nut when you get aggro, it makes it hard for melees to peel mobs off you. I'm liking the idea of Earthen Guard on DT armor more and more- it's a good way to get DR from stoneskin and can work really nice if you're getting hit to proc Con Opp or the Torc. Consider Smoke Screen on a Shroud item, but realize that it will take a lot longer to regen SP off of proccing items like Torc or Con Opp. Otherwise, the 20% miss chance is nice.

Epics to consider:
Most have been mentioned already- if you get an Epic Helm, think about where you will put your Heavy Fort, as that eliminates the minos.

[Eistander]

Sorry for not having the chance to revisit the thread, definitely gives me a lot more to shoot for (and wow.. I am gonna be busy for a whole lotta time to say the least!). Thanks a lot for the advice, I guess I'm off to deck myself out, one piece at a time!
