Melee Cleric (20 clr no splash)?

[Darrum]

I want to build a cleric that can solo melee stuff but remain awesome at healing parties, without the need of uber-gear or burning tons of plats in scrolls. I know the importance of scrolls but i'm talking about casual pugs here and there. Dwarf with 2h axe feat.

My main concern here is if this cleric will be able to hit anything that is his level, and also do i really need quicken if all i increase is Concentration every level?

[Falith12]

Unless items, not enough strength for melee.
Unless items, not enough wisdom for sp for healing.
If planning on using mass heal, quicken is a must

[walkingwolfmike]

You should still take quicken. A high concentration skill will help with completing scroll heals, but, there is damage being dealt in high end content that no amount of Concentration skill can over come.

Divine power and Divine valor should be your best friends if you intend to stand and fight.

Good luck and have fun!

[ThePrincipal]

overall idea works. i know, i have a melee cleric lvl 18 now thats fun and effective to play

for feats, i took the same ones except at different levels. i took
1. g axe
3. toughness
6. empower heal
9. extend (changed to maximize at lvl 18)
12. ic: s
15. quicken
18. pa

my starting stats were

str 16, dex 8, con 16, int 8, wis 14, cha 12, lvl ups into str

cha is important with this guy. turn undead is the fuel for your radiance aura and divine might (+2 damge with 12 cha). aura is important when healing from the front line. saves a lot of sp, use the aura/bursts. if you have 0 sp and 10 turns when u get to a shrine youre doing it wrong

concentration is important. you dont want to run quicken all the time, it drains resources fast. save it for when its needed.

for spells, blade barrier and implosion are bread to your melee butter. fire those up and start swinging. you can use enervation + destruction which is a great combo. i ve been running prey alot recently and that combo is great on the frost giants. i also used a cloak of curses for the longest time which proc'd all the time.

but melee is where its at. the cleric spell list has several great melee which makes to-hit a nonissue. add in the dwarf +2 with axes and youre golden. dont be shy with the self buffs.

[Mubjon]

Don't dwarfs get the dwarven axe for free? Or is that only if they have a melee level?

[Aries1040]

Dont have to be a melee just proficient with all martial weapons ie either a melee or with masters touch

[AtomicMew]

Taking martial proficiency just for DAxes is silly, since you can just go human and take khopeshes and gain an extra feat in the process.

Your best bet for a pure 20 is human with khopeshes, elf rapier or anything eSOS.

Agreed.

[PNellesen]

If you have Half-Elf, you could also go that route, with Fighter Dilettante for martial weapon proficiency. The guy in my sig is pretty much fun to play, can swing any two-hander, though he's specced more for casting than melee (but when you can take out the caster with one Destruction, then put 5 gnolls on their rear ends with one Greater Command, your melee doesn't have to be the best ) If he has trouble hitting things, I throw a Divine Power, which usually solves that problem.

cha is important with this guy. turn undead is the fuel for your radiance aura and divine might (+2 damge with 12 cha).

Divine Might I requires 14 CHA (base + tomes + level-up points).
