HI eveyone,

I want to roll a battle cleric, something that can melee good, as well as heal and buff. I want a self sufficient toon than can solo, and support a group to some extent. I am thinking of having at least 12 levels of cleric for radiant servant aura, and possibly more cleric levels for the good damage spells at higher levels. The main focus would be melee, heals and buffing. Damage spells would be for optional or situational use to conserve SP. And a preference for Kopesh proficiency and TWF for melee. The toon will be run with a regular group of experienced players, and rarely, if ever any PUG's.

I am assuming there are 3 main options here:

1). Cleric / Fighter build - TWF or Sword and board melee. I assume fighter would offer more feats for melee.

2). Cleric / Ranger build - A light weight melee with evasion and TWF and even a bit of ranged (many shot). Not sure how viable this is if using 12 levels of cleric.

3). Cleric / Monk. Not really played a monk before so don't know what this offers apart from evasion.

The first option is attractive to me, as I currently have a level 12 human TWF fighter I can LR. The ranger option is also not bad as I prefer using light armor, and I like playing ranged.

So any suggestions for build models, level splits etc would be very welcome.
