I could use some help with rerolling my character

[Domacett]

Hello. I have decided to reroll my ranger and I've never done this before. I'm hoping to get some help from experienced players to avoid making costly mistakes.

Currently I have a lvl 21 multiclass ranger (1/1/18 rog/ftr/rngr) and I want to try Unbongwah's Tempest Warpriest. That build is 1/3/4/8/3 rog/rng/clrc/rng/clrc.

I don't trust my brain to understand the reincarnation mechanics well enough to do this right the first time. What sort of Hearts of Wood will I need to make this work? Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.

Thanks for your feedback,
-D

First of all, 1/3/4/8/3 rog/rng/clrc/rng/clrc = 19 levels, math is off here.


Your cheapest option would be to do a Heroic True Reincarnation:

This requires a Heroic True Heart of Wood which can be easily acquired for 20 Tokens of the Twelve. However, this would require that you start again at level 1.

Another option is to consume the unique +20 Lesser Heart of Wood which was given away to all characters some time ago. If you are sure that you took Fighter level at level two, this will allow you to change directly to the new build. If you took the Fighter level later, you might have problems (you cannot take cleric levels until you train away the fighter level). If you took Fighter at level 14 or later, +20 Heart will not help you (Except in combination with a +1 lesser heart, doing two LRs; first use the +1 to become 1/19, then the +20 to add cleric)

The most expensive option is to purchase two Lesser Hearts (from the DDO Store). You will need a +3 heart and a +5 heart. Then LR twice. If you remember your original leveling order correctly, first use the +5 heart to become a 1 rogue / 3 ranger / 4 cleric / rest ranger. Note that 1/4/15 can already take Ameliorating Strike, and it has FoM from Ranger levels, it basically just misses Deathward from cleric. At this point, you can either play this build, or LR (+3) again, exchanging the final ranger levels for cleric.

Final note: clerics get less skill points per level than ranger; when LRing into such build, it might actually be useful to alternate Cleric and Ranger levels for maximum benefit. Ideally, plan your skill points in advance.
