Drow 2WF ?

[Himkano]

My wife has decided to start playing DDO with me again (I came back about a month ago), so I decided to dust of my cleric (happened to be lvl 15 and she was making Iconic).
I has been a while since I've played the cleric (but it used to be one of my mains), and wife is playing wolf druid, which is new to her but we cannot even duo many heroic hard quests (we get to the boss, die 4-5 times, and then she logs off for the day). I have solo'd several characters through these same quests on hard and elite. I recognize that I am probably going to be carrying wife (because she is not an avid gamer), and I am starting to think that cleric is not the class to do that with.

I have a drow with +2 tomes to every stat except Int. I have 2 raider reward boxes on that character, so I was thinking a twf build with (eventually) two Celestis. I was going to do this with my cleric (a variation of Axel's 2HF Cleric Build), but I don't think I have the gear to make it work at this point (or I am just playing it really wrong). In addition to being Drow, and having the +2 to almost every stat, I also have a +20 respec, but I already have fighter and cleric classes. Is there a better build for what I am trying to do than the Cleric, that works with what I have? I don't expect to be able to solo EE, but I think being able to finish HH is kind of lame (maybe I was just unlucky enough to be repeatedly picking the worst possible quests for our class combinations).

For TWF, I think barb or pally is strongest option. See my drow paladin thread; also see RedSonja and Cetus for barb options.

Thanks - what kind of Epic Destiny do you think for your Drow Paladin, I didn't see it (and I only have 1 other character with an ED, so not a lot of experience)

Legendary Dreadnought is the go-to ED for pretty much every melee build. As a first-life paladin, though, you'd have to start in Divine ED Sphere; best option there is Divine Crusader, particularly since Celestial Champion stacks with Holy Sword.

BTW, if you need help with your wife's wolf druid build, start with this thread. Good wolf DPS requires...counter-intuitive build decisions.

Thanks!

Just a side note--I do not recommend you do two Celestias. Celestia is great in the offhand since two of its effects--sunburst and fiery detonation--proc on the mainhand as well. So in the mainhand you can use Thunderforged or some other weapon.
I would save the second reward box for later, when you feel more comfortable of playstyle goals. It is a nice box to keep handy.

Also be aware that KotC capstone breaks Celestia's DR. Can't remember if Holy Sword does, too.

If you guys are still around level 16-18 do Lords of Dust for a pair of Envenomed Blades. The paralyze works well in heroics.
