Im still thinking Animal domain, druid/fvs.
I Just have zero clue about anything past that thought.

Domains are cleric-only.

Domains are cleric-only.

thanks, didn't catch that. Needed Moar caffine.









Ive already started looking at a cleric/druid in the planner, so far, no matter which way I went w/ it nothing great came out of it.

I'll be watching your posts though.

Right now I'm thinking that DPS isn't going to approach an Arcane even with domains (maybe I'm wrong there).
Also, a Cleric is going to need to heal the party again so agro might be bad news.
Therefore, I'd like to first try a max Charisma Trickery Caster.
Pop of a burst to buff up your Cha with the 20 second boost and then Charm the mobs senseless with the SLA.
The DC should be able to get pretty high on that build at least for those 20 seconds.
I'm about 3 or 4 days from being able to TR so if anyone tries that or sees an obvious flaw in the plan, I'd love if they posted their thoughts
Edit - just LRed a Sun Elf Cleric to try this. Seems like lots of free meta SLAs of a wide variety, some heal, some charm, some pew pew.
Immediate first thought, I wish some AP DC boosts could help enchantment rather than just Necro and Evocation.

No idea what to call the build so I went with a mix of bard and war...Ward. Pretty lame actually, but Swashcleric sounds like somebody who does laundry.

Anyway, I am fascinated by what may come out of a Holy Sword Swashbuckler. There are some really impressive threat ranged/multipliers that I just want to see happen. Add in that this is something that has never been in game before (to my knowledge) and I have wanted to do a bard pally for ages.

You number crunchers out there have a breakdown of what the threat and multiplier would actually look like on some of the end game swash weapons?

I happen to have a LR20 and a 22nd level druid sitting around doing nothing. Maybe I will (re)build this creature today...

This life I'm mixing Death Domain with Dark Emissary - This has increased the number of Negative energy SLA's available and the bonus to turning with my gear + PL is allowing me to be effective in Reaper undead quests that are base 1 to 2 levels over my current level - Basically I have max gear possible as well as 3x Cleric PL and am a Half-Elf

Next Life I plan on going with the Half-Elf Dragonmark House Lyrandar - (Gust of wind, electric loop and lightning storm) with the Air Domain. I'm thinking going mostly Radiant Servant, but will most likely also dip into the Light Emissary for some additional light spell SLA's and spell power.

I still have other races for ER so likely will be playing around with a different Domain each life .

Magic domain is bugged. You're supposed to get 2xlevel USP when you do a turn undead along with the rest of the party. Instead everyone only gets 1xUSP.

I bet the Level 14 ability is similarly bugged.

Working on a strength domain build but it uses Visanti capstone so I can't share all of it. Should be public soon though.

11C/6W/3F CN

7dex
14con

My draft shows minimum of 108 str, 116 with yugo/long lasting/tensers scroll, 120+ turn boost. I need to check Confront any Foe counts for the turn boost.
Vampire for immunities and harm. Also get petrification and knock down immunity.
Fleshy with heal as needed or heal others whenever.
Heavy armor, 245 prr, 150 mrr, Defender +20% hps
Very high reflex due to ridiculous strength. Will be in the 120-130 range. Assuming they fixed it...

I like it: Unbongwah the Keeper of Flavors! aka Flavor Flav, aka Masterbat..., er, Masterflavor!

Have a templet here for a Horc Kensei WarPriest that uses strength domain for str to reflex saves and no stat penalty, as well as AmStrike, Tenecious Defense, CCW, DW/ FoM, and all that stuff. SWF or THF, whichever player prefers.
