    Default Evoker

    Darthwolf's 10th life is coming up and I need a break from melee.

    Since I have accumulated some nice caster past lives figured I may as well make an offensive caster cleric. The flaw of the build is that you're basicly a cc/healbot until lvl 9 when you get Slay Living. It starts getting more fun at lvl 11 when you get BB.

    Also don't be fooled that you can't heal because you're an evoker - aura, bursts and scrolls are more than enough to keep your party alive.

    Only thing that really bugs me that Empower doesn't qualify you for Radiant Servant and I'll be missing that 75 spell power in my BBs until I'm deep into epics. If I don't TR immediately again

    Human for extra feat as Cleric is already a VERY feat starved class.

    The breakdown at 20:

    Cleric 20 
    Male Human (True Neutral)
    
    HP: 342

    DEX: 08 11
    CON: 16 20
    INT: 11 14
    WIS: 18 30
    CHA: 14 18
    
    Skills: 
    Concentration, Balance, Jump, UMD, 1 point into Tumble
    
    Feats:
    Empower Healing Spell
    Heighten Spell
    Maximize Spell
    Past Life (Arcane Initiate)

    What levels are you taking your feats? With three past lives of sorc you will have no problem in heroic levels forgoing spell focus evocation and taking Empower earlier. Once you get your bursts at level 6, you can pretty much walk through to 11 with that as your sole weapon. Between the Necro's and Deleras, your burst with empower and maximize on will take very thing out in 1 to 2 shots. Just run through gather a large group, i.e. yellow or even red alert...2 bursts and everything is gone.

    level 1-5 whack away with a weapon. If not in a party take a barb or fighter hireling, and you'll move through those quick as well.

    Honestly I probably wouldn't take the evocation feat. even in Epics.

    In my opinion
    Destruction (Necromancy)
    Divine Punishemnt (Evo)
    Comet Fall (Conjuration)
    Great Command (Enchantment)
    Blade Barrier (Evo)
    Searing Light (evo)

    are your primary spells.
    The only one that sees a lot of reflex saves from evo is Blade Barrier. In epic content there (seems to me) there is an abundance of archers. That's waht implosion is for...or a combination of Energy drain and destruction. If you have a group, you can drag the non archers through a symbol of death a few times and then any spell is going to hit them.

    Personally, I liked having Maximize, Empower, and Empower Heal all by level 6. Undead quests are easy when bursts instakill all the mobs. And you're more than ready to BB stuff at 11.

    Arcane Aug not that useful to a divine, since it only applies to Wiz/Sorc spells. Did you get (stacking) +2 Alchemical Wisdom on Tier 2 of one of those?

    Pre-MotU, I'd have agreed with you. And I still can't see spending precious feats on Greater/Epic Focus. But (base) Spell Focus is pre-req for Magister and Draconic abilites that give +3/+2 to DC. Those are nice to twist in.

    Are the pre-req's now required for twists? I shouldnt't assume but figured the magister and draconian Ed would have been unlocked with all the past lives. I realized they were required when leveling the Ed. However I thought once leveled if an abilit was twisted in the pre-req's for the twisted ability didn't apply.

    Current leveling setup for feats is:

    01: Empower Healing Spell, Toughness
    03: Maximize Spell
    06: Quicken Spell
    09: Past Life (Arcane Initiate)
    12: Heighten Spell
    15: Spell Focus (Evocation)
    18: Spell Penetration

    I think I could push PL: AI to 15, and grab either evo focus or pen at 21 for magister and draconic twists. That would make room for Empower. Perhaps Quicken at 9, Empower at 6. I'm not comfortable not having Quicken after 9.

    Yup, you need the pre-req featss for twists else it resets your respected ED trees. Magister and Draconic are unlocked and full and I was making my way to Exalted before I became bored and started on a TR frenzy.

    Crud, totally forgot about that one. Yeah, one stick is air/earth/fire, the other one is water/water/earth; both myst/mart/myst covering force and negative between them.

    Very cool man. Just get life magic 4 and smiting 4 if you can. Maybe drop 3 scroll mastery ( unless hardcore raider of course ) or greater adapt or smiting crit. Spell power > crit > crit damage.

    Get Morahs and air t2 greensteel :-D

    Scroll mastery I prefer to keep since my main healing is done via scrolls, and if I stay at 20+ I will be raiding a lot. Life Magic 4 I find too expensive and smiting 4 doesn't have effect on BB so it would be only used on DP.

    Morah's is pretty meh for my gear setup. I have +6 con crafted LGA ring [ML:9] and Electric Haze that I use on a belt slot when I hit lvl 13. After 20 I just switch to epic gear. GS SP item is a helm haste clicky air guard with +6 cha skills ^__^
    Also I'm usually sporting ~350 HP when I hit GS level so Toughness from Minos isn't something I really miss
