build request : melee healer

**Draegnar** · 10-24-2016, 12:14 PM

Hi,

So I need some advice to build a melee healer for my wife.

She already played a pure S&B cleric and a SWF FvS and want to keep the healing + melee gameplay but with improved dps.

To makes it even harder, she really likes the "group heal" spell

So I thought about two 17/3 splash : either a swashbuckler cleric (3 bard) or a sacred defender cleric (3 paladin).

PDK seems to be the best class with these two build as it would allow to go all charisma and improve turn undead.

Any insight ?

if use a FR (not Morninglord) could always use Helm (bastard sword+board)

so many little tweaks to adjust to playstyle... but able to melee (warlock bursts), mass heal while in melee, and even melee.

Code:

Old Healing Angel of Light (aka Greater Angel of Light)
12/5/3 Cleric/Warlock/Favored Soul

12 fvs, for decent SP from charisma, aura debuff to fort, and to counterintuitively pick up the archon with 21 AP in angel of vengeance, providing constant spell point regen via just reward, a always charged up empyrean magic in epics, some minor added light damage to be coupled with a lantern ring at lvl26 and some added melee power via lvl29 feat arcane warrior, as well as some overall boost to universal spell power and spell crit to give a semi viable ruin when used with a force kinetic stick situationally, i.e. on shroud crystal

2 pally for the saves mainly, no AP spent there

6 fighter for kensei tier5 and core lvl6 +1 to crit range and multi, stacking with the silvanus bonus, haste boost, added dmg to 2handed fighting, +3 dodge cap from ascetic training, also spending 21 in stalwart defender for the 10% run speed as well as 20% hitpoint stance

downsides: only one mass heal spell, cure light mass. cannot fit in a raise spell so needs to scroll. cannot fit in heroes feast and cure med mass. tight on AP.

alternative version: 12 cleric instead of 12 fvs: this loses the archon bringing SP regen, but gains better spell selection, as well as the option to switch to aura with tier5 radiant servant (which loses keen edge but you still get the kensei lvl6 core at least) - it offers more AP too if you do not spec for aura and thus its possible to boost AC and STR in defender tier4 - it is also possible to replace the 21 AoV with 21 warpriest ameliorating strike.

---
this isnt as much of a healer as say axel's build, but in epics you can do well enough as 2ndry raid healer when running in Exalted Angel. that goes for both the fvs and the cleric version. its a good build to solo or duo quests, however it doesnt rly excel in any area greatly, there are better heals and better dps and better defense out there. its a bit of everything. it is totally capable of soloing all hard quests and some elite quests at level though when geared decently. it also offers some variation of playstyle if you have legendary dreadnaught, unyielding sentinel, divine crusader and exalted angel maxed out. i did the first life on the cleric split and in unyielding it can tank EH thunderpeaks just fine i.e and when no proper raid healer is there running in EA and twisting in consecration and sacred ground it will still offer some decent amount of party healing capability.
on the last cleric life without the silvanus deity, when not running in LD the dmg output wasnt overly great rly, but now with the update it has become a bit more viable to do a somewhat spread thin utility build like this

its however not an EE build, though it can somewhat contribute in parties on EE ...

**Draegnar** · 10-24-2016, 02:52 PM

Thanks.

This sylvanus deity feat seems very interesting to easily build a tanky healer (17/3 sacred or stalwart defender cleric) with a bit of dps (17-20/x3 crit, 16-20/x3 in LD).

I have never played any THF, are glancing blow any good ?

**Vish** · 10-24-2016, 07:13 PM

Thf is where u will see higher dps

I would suggest paladin splash
A lot of synergy, good saves good defense
Axels build is the standard
I run a 15/4/1 raid battlecleric
Thinking of tring into more dps side
Now that lags gone
Uses falchion
But you can go /15 and get masses and death pact
And pally has good ap to spend

If you try swash, you have to go light armor

I would recommend the tank, works best with aura healing
Then you don't need the masses
