cleric aa

[RandomFireGuy]

i have a character about to finish their third ranger life and was thinking of reincarnating into cleric for the active past life on future builds.

i so far have thought of...
6rng/14cleric str based build, comes with many ranged feats, leaving other feat slots available. goes well with divine str buffs still able to get 7th lv spells, allows deepwood for sniper shot, aa without racial and potential to not be elven
6mnk/14cleric wis/dex build, 10kstars, evasion, higher spell dc's, extra feats same cleric bonuses as before

would it be better to go pure? why?

any other suggestions?

See wowo's monkcher thread. Unfortunately, I think he stopped playing several months ago, so he's unlikely to update these builds. But the core concepts haven't changed too much. You can also see the Radiant Archer in my sig, though I haven't gotten around to updating them, either. Too many build ideas, not enough time...

The fundamental question is: are you an archer with a lot of cleric buffs & heals; or a cleric who whips out a longbow once in a while (mostly for Manyshot)? That affects how many cleric lvls you want, what your split between ranged vs metamagic feats should be, core stats, etc.

U19 made several tweaks to AAs in general and monkchers in particular. On the plus side: they got rid of most feat pre-reqs for PrEs, so you no longer need WF:Ranged & Mental Toughness (or arcane splash) for AA, nor Dodge for Ninja; you can mix-n-match PrE abilities more, so you can have, e.g., Shadow Veil on a light monk; you can add higher-tier monk stances to MCed monk builds (e.g., Master Earth stance for +1 crit multiplier); there are a lot more goodies in the AA tree than before, like secondary imbues, Inferno Shot, etc.

On the downside: you can only take the T5 enhancements from one PrE tree (in this case, you cannot have both Slaying Arrows and Radiant auras); the AP cost for maxing out AA tree is a lot higher than before (tho again that's because there are more toys to play with, too); 10K Stars is now a chosen feat rather than monk enh; the racial AA tree pushes the capstone out to char lvl 25.

I posted a FvS monkcher here; a cleric version would be almost identical, although as you can see it's a feat-constrained build.

[RandomFireGuy]

this is what i came up with based on based around the character i plan on putting into this build for my cleric past life, any thoughts

also, due to errors with the builder, 10k stars could not be selected at 6monk for bonus feat, so assume that happened, and arcane archer wouldn't save into epic levels

[RandomFireGuy]

is there a viable way to include master of forms for water stance's passive ki regen?

[unbongwah]

Sure: take Master stance at 18, move IPS to 21, CA to 24, and take whatever you like @ 27. Or you could drop rog splash for, say, ftr; that gets you an extra martial feat somewhere and cheap Haste Boost to boot. Up to you how important those rog skills really are...

[supott]

Hello. Does anyone know for sure if 10k stars really is a martial feat? I haven't a monk so i can't test..

Wiki also doesn't include it in Martial feats so i'm kinda confused..

10k stars is a martial feat

Thank u very much! Lol well.... thats a relief... i thot it was stupid it wasnt listed..

[RandomFireGuy]

i'm thinking of going with this, for more damage (assume 10kstars at 7 and master of forms at 15 and assume enhancement resets throughout as it would be less fluid and i would need resets as i reach certain levels to be more efficent [ie dropping ranger arcane archer tier ones at lv 4 for elf arcane archer])
