For my third Cleric life I am going to try out a 17 Cleric 3 Paladin. I'm curious what people think would be most effective for leveling and attack order (for Reaper). A side goal is to try out Wave of Despair the new Bastard sword from the Mines chain. I am thinking go Cleric first so I can get the empowered CLW spell then 3 Paladin to get Sacred Stance ASAP. Since I don't get implosion till L17 it means I basically never get implosion as my 17th Cleric level would be at 20 and then it's TR time. I can sort of tell DPS is going to be bad but I want to see how tanky this lay out is and it should be a monster versus undead with tons of turns. Maybe get the 3rd tier KotC and SD stuff then rest of points into RS? Feats might look like...
1. Empower Healing
3. Maximize
6. THF (for glancing blows maybe?)
9. PL Wiz (DCs?)
12. Quicken
15. Bastard Sword (this is the ML for Wave of Despair)
18. Eschew Materials
Open to suggestions on feats. I take Eschew since it lets me clear out more space for TR cache and by 18 I have a level banked and it's almost 20 anyway.
