Where did I go wrong?

[M113k7262]

I was trying to make a radiant servant who 2 weapon fights like a monk but also has access to a dragonmark for traveling purposes. The program never showed the radiant servant (and the compendium was down for some reason). Where did I go wrong?

I don't understand in monks but i do know clerics and I know that you cant play healing cleric with no quicken,
and you really gimp yourself without maximized bursts.

so, if i were you.... i would ditch zen archery and bludgeon focus and take quicken and maximize.

IMHO: dragon marks are nice, but .... too expensive... but I understand that they are the whole "flavor" of this build.

regarding enhancements: you can always reset them, so no biggie, but clerics really must have maxed out scroll healing which you don't have, and i don't understand why taking skill improving enchantments and fighter critical accuracy...

maybe take 15 dex? 15+2 tome =17 enough for GTWF and put the points in charisma for more bursts?

Level 9 spells are too good to pass up so definitely drop back to just 1 fighter. Having Mass Heal in your repertoire makes it so much easier to be a good healer.

There's a similar build in my sig (valiancesque). Stunning fist and a high wisdom is a very easy path to competence.

However, monk splashes are on shaky ground in the looming U14 so I'd shy away from such a split and wait to see the lay of the land in U14, especially as tier 3 cleric PrEs might make it soon in which case 18 cleric might become much more attractive.

I agree on mass-heal to an extent....experienced "healers" can do without...even quickened, it's just soooo long to cast. The new exalted angel destiny actually seems to help this theory, as a raise to caster level closes the gap more. I play a 17/2/1 non-DC based cleric, and could do without my level 9's. What I'm more concerned with is the lack of SP from the extra level. It's only 85 base +1/WIS bonus..but even on mine, I'm contemplating dropping the fighter level (haste boost and Tier I toughness), and going with sorcerer instead for CHA SP synergy, and I'll just master's touch my weapons.

The sp from sorc is very little...you get pro rated by lvl.

I'm well aware of the mechanics...it's a 5% gain from items, which is a nice perk, but not what I was refering to. For a melee cleric...if you plan it right, especially with handwrap TWF, getting a decent CHA for Divine Might is relatively easy, and more stat point effective in a lot of cases. Now, with the one of the possible Pre-reqs for RS is CHA II which helps as well. All of this put together...(and I can show math if needed) amounts to around 200-300 extra SP at cap...which means it's equal to mental toughness+imp mental toughness at minimum. This means if SP is a concern, and you're considering mental toughness as a feat..then the "extra" feat of a fighter splash needs to be compared to the "virtual" 2 feat bonus of splashing sorcerer. Obviously, when taliking about splashed builds, DC's are of no major concern.

Complicated I know, but it actually works out in the end... a lot of "healbot" builds do this, but I believe it's a viable strategy for a battle-divine as well...it just takes dedication to the concept.

I'm personally just waiting for the final update on the 25th, but right now a 17/2/1 Cleric/Monk/Sorcerer for me as a "battle-cleric" assuming the Exalted Angel ED is better than the fighter splash. Conversely, ditching evasion, and going 17/2/1 Cleric/Fighter/Sorcerer is also an option for non-restrictive access to heavy armor. I'm waiting on "final" changes to make up my mind....although it will all change again 6 months from now with the enhancement pass. Th writing is on the wall however, and I believe the "clonk" is soon to be a thing of the past.

You can live and thrive at high level without Quicken and Maximize.

Quicken is very specific in it's use : for Mass Heal in Elite/Epic some raids( Queen, Lob ).
The rest of the time you can live just on the Mass Cures. The last few raids I did as a healer I was actually healing ( or mass curing ) from scrolls most of the time.
