Qstaff cleric

[Lauf]

Hi, having run the past life as monk/rogue/fvs 9/7/4 (iirc) qstaff build I have found the dps to be ridiculously high, so now I'm looking at how to put that kind of dps on my favorite class - the cleric.

Seems to me that everything points at being at least a level 12 cleric, allowing me to take the Child of Aureon (+2 attack & damage) and Beloved of Aureon (+3 attack & damage) feats, and having the heal spell, which is the pillar of being a cleric IMO.

that's leaves 8 levels to play with, and at the moment I'm leaning towards 3 rogue / 5 monk; rogue would give +15% attack speed with quarterstaves, trapping (obviously) and the option of going dex to attack & damage, building it to have usable evasion.

Monk is there for the extra feats and because of the two I prefer the henshin tree for qstaffs. And hopefully I'll be able to somehow squeeze in having grandmaster stance.

so this is the rough idea, I'd appreciate your help putting it together.

Ninja cores now apply to all ki weapons inc. staves which provide DEX to-hit & dmg, so I consider monk 6 / rog 1-2 to be the superior split: +10 MP from Henshin lvl 6 core, Shadow Veil from Ninja, two extra feats (free Adept of Forms and lvl 6 monk bonus feat).

There's an INT-based staff cleric here.

I agree, and thank you for your input.

As the idea is predicated on taking a feat on cleric level 12, the build can't be done on a cleric. too many feats are back loaded: Imp crit (ML15), master /grandmaster(18), and Beloved of Aureon.

the only way to make it work is as a FVS.
