[Nailog]

I would say Power Attack is more important than THF.

Dump Bladesworn Transformation and Energy of the Scion and try to grab the last two Toughness enhancements. Bladesworn Transformation stops your ability to heal, which is your biggest advantage as a melee.

You might also consider dumping the critical healing enhancements to fit in a tier of the power attack line and some WF boosted hate.

(I don't see Death Ward at all on your spell list. Consider trading something out for this. Break Enchantment is a pretty good dance stopper. You can make some friends pretty quickly with this spell.)

[wax_on_wax_off]

Drop wisdom to 6 and dexterity to 8. Bump intelligence by 4 and pick up UMD and intimidate. Eat a +2 int tome at level 7 and bump balance. Always have 1 whole rank in Tumble in any build.

Make sure that you have power attack.

Considering the changes in U9, my feat selection would be: power attack, empower, maximise, quicken, improved critical: slashing, toughness, adamantine body

Empower instead of Empower Healing is for the new AoV PrE. When Divine Avenger comes out you should have a free feat respec to swap to Empower Healing if that is better.

Bump constitution up to 18 if you can. On a 34 point build I'd do 18, 8, 18, 12, 6, 10 should fit you nicely.

The DPS on a build like this is never great. Mediocre DPS but good healing is fine but the way I like to roll is to have the option to hate tank as well. Check out the Soul Survivor build. There are suggestions here which are slightly different to the described build and they are somewhat like the variations I made on my build which I can suggest are strong choices given my experiences and the changes that are coming in the next update.

Good luck

[Dreadmaster1993]

not taking intimi , cos its only a half skill, so prety useless if it comes to it,
not suposet to tank, only if in solo play , can't take adam body cos i have to drop smting else for it then, can always use armor bonus stuf to get ac up , dit change stats somebit, (wil save wil be **** at low lvls so make shure u have remove fear at these lvls then)

can't take adam body cos i have to drop smting else for it then, can always use armor bonus stuf to get ac up

It's not about the AC, it's about the extra 3 stacking DR. And if you needed something to drop, Extend would be the prime candidate, though it depends on your playstyle.

[porq]

If you picked Extend for longer buffs, then that's about the only legitimate use for it anymore.
If you picked it up for longer blade barriers, keep in mind that Extend wont work on them after update 9.

[wax_on_wax_off]

DR 15/Adamantine is the point of the adamantine body feat. Alternatively, still having 13-14/adamantine and saving 6-10 AP is excellent too.

Intimidate is going to be very useful in update 9 as even if it's unsuccessful you'll still generate hate with it. Additionally, FvS capstone gives +2 intimidate and you'll have decent charisma (to be able to cast spells) and GS cha skills item (for UMD) among other things. Intimidate is definitely worthwhile.

It's easy to hit tanking HP (mine is about 600 and will soon go up to 650), DR gives excellent tanking ability and it's a bit useless being a character with healing plus mediocre melee (until eSoS) and nothing else when you can so easily be capable of so much more.

[Chette]

I would drop empower healing and extend still, they are just not needed. You will be healing primarily with mass cure critical since for a melee divine the long casting time of mass heal results in you not meleeing as much. A maximized mass cure critical will top off your party if you are using superior ardor clickies, empowering it will just result in you over-healing. Extend is nice for divine power/favour, and that's about it. These still last over 2 minutes at level 20, so I wouldn't take a feat just for those.

Not really, I have empower healing and maximise on all the time when I'm healing and I find it gives a nice amount of healing while minimising overhealing and repeated casting. Additionally, in U9, MCLW and MCMW are having their SP costs reduced so the new Go To spells may be MCCW - MCMW - MCLW (in that order), empower healing is vital for that trio.

I definitely like empower healing or empower (empower in U9 is stronger with the new PrE).

[Standal]

I'd get toughness as early as possible. I'd swap toughness and quicken, I had no problem until I got blade barrier and mass heal with not having quicken.

Unless something has changed since the original release notes, you don't need empower for AoV. Maximize qualifies. I like Empower Heal on this build since it benefits the Heal spell. As a low heal amp character you need that.

Depending on your thoughts on the benefits of Extend, I might swap it to Adamantine body. I leveled with Extend, but felt kind of squishy in some quests. Now at level 20, I don't think it matters. The only real benefit I get from Extend is buffs like Holy Aura, Divine Favor, and Divine Power. DR 13/addy is pretty close to DR 15.

[Farayon]

Additionally, in U9, MCLW and MCMW are having their SP costs reduced so the new Go To spells may be MCCW - MCMW - MCLW (in that order), empower healing is vital for that trio.

Is this certain? The current lama build has clwm at 25 SP and cmwm at 35 SP.

[Teharahma]

Just follow Soul Survivor and don't 'create' your own cheap version of it.

+ heals are as good as a bacon of hope

I want to know where I can find some bacon of hope, especially if it heals me!

[wax_on_wax_off]

Drop wisdom to 6 and dexterity to 8. Bump intelligence by 4 and pick up UMD and intimidate. Eat a +2 int tome at level 7 and bump balance. Always have 1 whole rank in Tumble in any build.

Make sure that you have power attack.

Considering the changes in U9, my feat selection would be: power attack, empower, maximise, quicken, improved critical: slashing, toughness, adamantine body

Empower instead of Empower Healing is for the new AoV PrE. When Divine Avenger comes out you should have a free feat respec to swap to Empower Healing if that is better.

Bump constitution up to 18 if you can. On a 34 point build I'd do 18, 8, 18, 12, 6, 10 should fit you nicely.

The DPS on a build like this is never great. Mediocre DPS but good healing is fine but the way I like to roll is to have the option to hate tank as well. Check out the Soul Survivor build. There are suggestions here which are slightly different to the described build and they are somewhat like the variations I made on my build which I can suggest are strong choices given my experiences and the changes that are coming in the next update.

Good luck

Snipered! I wonder what I did to deserve that?

[wax_on_wax_off]

Is this certain? The current lama build has clwm at 25 SP and cmwm at 35 SP.

I am not, I can only refer to the release notes which say 25 for each.
