Level 16
Ok going 15/1. Got holy sword, got full bab. Fighting pretty hard, dying regularly to test the toon. Big advantages are now 7 use of regen hands, and death pact. I'm still a little too Zerg, memories of the duality monk.
But I've been working the tier5s. The killer bird works, but you gotta isolate and lead with it. It usually kills. Kills champs too. And using the aoe bird. That's another leader. It seems to go off whether I hit or not. Not sure, I need a lot more practice with these attacks. And then there's the heal one. Not really that good, but maybe in a cycle. Again I'm just spot testing them now, and haven't found any kind of rotation yet.
And with holy sword, my crits are over 200. But I'm still not seeing a lot of crits, but good enough. Now I'm in higher heroics and everything has lots more hp. And it takes a while to whittle some mobs down without the crit. Doing like 60 otherwise. So lotta swings. But that give me time to measure my hp, and measure my defense. 51 AC with like 60 prr. So like I said, I die regularly. I'm learning the build and what tricks I have. Still combat cast, still play the healer, but most of the time I am attacking.
But better than I expected. It will also get better as I play it more, and better yet when I get to epics. I only got like 500 hp reaper, so I wait till about 150 health to heal. But that gets me killed sometimes. I usually use hands, they heal for like 800 elite or full heal in reaper. I use heal spells to top up. Unless there is hire or another healer in the group. But that's hit or miss. So much so far has been self heals in reaper. Also, gained couple points, up to 13.
Ya, gonna forgo the last two levels for fighter. So I won't have stalwart until 20. Even tho I could use the hp. But would rather have implosion at 18. I'm thinking of taking maximize at 18, then taking gswf at 19 as fighter. The maximize would be for burst, which is only cleric tree I'm using. Kinda sad warpriest sucks so bad. But I do use bursts, kinda of as a topper for the other toons. Works when there's melee in the group. But most don't have lots hp so a good heal works just fine. But bursts are only thing makes me look like a cleric.
Gonna save the assassinate gloves for 21. I'll get more use of them. Oh ya, that's the difference. Max dex allowed by heavy armor. I put on the planar focus trinket and swapped to my dex gloves, but my AC didn't go up. Oh well, some heal amp and reflex saves.
Also, gotta go looking for improved vorpal khopesh. I know I have some, will have to look on my khopesh mule. Just haven't yet, kinda leveled up fast past few days. Or I could use that bastard sword from tethymar? I got like two of them. Ok another mule to check. I got lotta loots to stash anyway. Pulled a couple helms from the disciples chain. And got some loot I need to feed to sentient.
Ok I may post at 18 after I test implosion. Or I may just wait until I'm 20. Depends how I get along this next week.
