    Default basic fixes to the presented build

    alignment - LG probably not ideal unless you intend to take (2) paladin levels later

    abilities - okayish

    skills - drop heal for jump or umd or balance

    feats @ lvl 6: toughness, emp.heal, max, emp
    feats later: quicken, then whatever, e.g. mental toughness / spell focus / spell pen

    enhancements
    drop: concentration; perhaps stuff like heal crit line, energy of zealot
    take: smiting (light spell power), wands/scrolls

    consider dipping 1-3 levels in different class(es) for weapon proficiencies / umd / feats / evasion / saves / stacking spell power / more spell points ; instead of going to clr 20

    Wiz splash is for extra metamagic and Force enh (+40 Spellpower to Blade Barrier).

    EllisDee37's build is pretty similar, but splits Spell Focus between Necro & Evo and relies on Twists to help out.

    EDIT: for 28-pt build I would either drop CON to 14 or STR to 10 or (maybe) WIS to 16 to bump up INT or CHA by 2 pts.

    Instakills and CC are fun and useful for a party, and therefore pushed by most vets. However, they are not core "healbot" properties. You are free to disagree, but IMHO especially first life divines are going to have a fairly hard time hitting the DC and spell penetration numbers required in end game. I've been a fan of the DC casting school of divines, but am opening up to alternatives.

    A healbot is also hard to level up soloing. Luckily, parties are most often really happy to take a divine.

    What is a healbot then? IMHO it means two things: healing and surviving. For alternatives to DC casting, see the novasoul and Kayla93's fvs/pally build (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=411773) that concentrate on these two, as well as light based damage.

    For a pure healbot cleric, I'd so something like (off the cuff):

    Human 32pt

    Dex 12 (+1 tome qualifies for Dodge)
    Int 12
    Con 16
    Wis 16
    Cha 12

    Level ups to Wis.

    For feats: Toughness, Empower heal, Quicken, Maximize, Shield Mastery, Heighten, Improved Shield Mastery, Dodge. Beyond that, options include Mobility, Mental Toughness, Empower, Lightning Reflexes.

    Int 12 lets you take concentration, balance and jump.

    Survivability comes from HP, shield blocking and mobility, which requires an active playstyle (jump is important there).

    Note: you will not be that good with spells that require DC checks and spell penetration, eg. destruction, slay living and implosion. With 16+5 Wis and Heighten your blade barrier DCs should be good enough.

    If you want to go full ****** on survivability and ignore blade barrier, put level ups into charisma and take two pally levels. Drop Heighten in that case for one of the other feats.

    There might be flaws in this, as I said off the cuff. All corrections happily received, but I won't get into a divine DC casting/heals/melee debate. As a concept I think it should work out well however, although FvS probably works better for the SP+pally saves synergy from charisma.

    If you know how to start with more than WIS 18, I'm sure we'd all love to hear how.

    You are wrong on this, a heal bot does not need one more wisdom score than is needed to cast level 9 spells. So that would be 19 wisdom at cap, with an easy to acquire +6 item and 3 wis enhancements that lets you start out with a wisdom score of 10.

    Now if you had said a casting divine needs more wisdom than strength, I would have agreed with you and Unbong build starts out with the max wisdom a character can have at level 1.

    If you want to go with a healbot only then maxing con is more beneficial than maxing out wisdom on a character that you would not plan to do anything with besides being a bit more intelligent hireling.
