just use divine health or whatever its called on yourself with some healing amp and SP heals when you need them. aura isnt really necessary unless you're healing a party I think.


That's what I'm trying right now. Was just really surprised when I started spending the AP as people normally lean on that aura. Once I start raiding I might be tempted to trade in Flamestrike (ended up taking it) and Sunburst to pick up the aura though. I definitely like how it's playing so far...ran ID a couple times (once on EE) and the only problem I had was keeping my kid's ungeared thrower alive. Tongue

Went with the Sun Elf Morninglord and decided on a Cleric18/FvS2 split.

Maxed WIS and am going to concentrate on the Divine Disciple's SLAs.

Will get my WIS as high as possible (will be 56 with only Ship buffs) and do all I can to raise my Evocation DCs as high as possible without gimping the toon.

Shiradi and Exalted Angel will be the EDs of choice.

Will concentrate on Radiance and Positive spellpower and Lores but will also have an 80 Potency item to power up Blade Barrier damage a bit.

There will be no melee capability to speak of but there will be some PRR (40 or so), Blurriness, a little Dodge, and some pretty decent Healing Amp as well as a nice shield to hide behind (actively blocking) while throwing my SLAs.


Feats are/will be:

1 Empower Healing
3 Empower Spell
6 Heighten Spell
9 Maximize Spell
12 Quicken Spell (uninterruptible Heals and Mass Heals are nice)
15 Spell Focus - Evocation
18 Greater Spell Focus - Evocation
21 Epic Spell Focus - Evocation
24 Great Wisdom
26 Epic Spell Power - Light
27 Epic Damage Resistance
28 Epic Spell Power - Positive


Should have a 35%+ chance to Critical my Light spells and a 25%+ chance to Critical my Cures/Heals.


SLAs will include:

Avenging Light (SLA from Exalted Angel ED)
Nimbus of Light
Searing Light
Holy Smite
Sunburst (from Sun Elf Morninglord Racial enhancement tree; only every 30 seconds though)


Bit of a thread necro here, but I have access to Completionist and Wiz Past Life (obviously), so Im wondering whether to take all of the above but substitute out Greater and Epic Spell Focus and just go with 1 level of Spell Focus, given I get +2 to all schools with Completionist and Wiz PL.

So really, Im wondering whether there are EDs or other Epic Feats which will require me taking more of the Spell Focus feats?

Not to my knowledge.

Epic spell focus x requires greater spell focus x.

Otherwise no.

Sounds like I should be fine then.

What gear have you gone for (mainly interested in ideas for levelling rather than staying at 28 because I will be Iconic TRing)?

I have an FvS alt which has a Wisdom version of the Terrorweb which I bought for nothing. Its not always available on the AH though.

War Wizards commendation armor is probably better than the Cleric commendation version, but the Cleric ring and necklace are pretty good. For a Cleric though, I wonder if the 10% reduced spell cost is worth going for and just putting up with the Cleric commendation armor.

PDK gloves are pretty good and I can use GS HP and SP items. So really its a matter of finding somewhere for Fort (or a Heavy Fort augment), Speed/Striding, Deathblock, False Life, and maybe Spellcraft.

Does this build require past lives? I have a first life cleric used for hjealing guild raids. I like the idea behind more offensive output. Would this build - minus the +4 tomes, be viable for a first lifer?

I don't think 6 FvS for archon is worth it

It is 12 for archon.  I tried the cleric, but in my test builds I went back to Elf 12 FVS/6 Monk/2 Pally casting non-meta searing light and nimbus of light as fillers. 

Next time the test server is up, I'll give the cleric primary another look but I'm a big fan of super survival builds.

My guild mate Bloodyfistah and I are planning on learning/leading/running some FoT in the near future and my main Mokune 9Monk/11Ranger AA needs CoH.

So, I figured I'd ETR then HTR into a Morninglord Caster/Raid healer build similar to this.  But with 2Monk/18Cleric

If I was going for DCs I think though I would swap out ESF:Evo or Great Wisdom for Completionist.  More utility across the board imo if available to you.

For more Shiradi type DPS I'd swap ESF: Evo for Completionist AND Great Wisdom for PL:Wiz for more free meta'd procs.

I plan on farming the last of the Karma I need in Arcane, playing/capping the new Divine ED and getting the Karma in the Divine Sphere capped. 

18Wis Lvl-ups (16pts)
14 Con (10pts)
16 Int (6pts)
12 Cha (4pts)
Similar Feat Selection but for this build I'll take Completionist in place of ESF: Evo and Insightful Reflexes in place of Great Wisdom.
2 Monk Feats: Lightning Reflex, Deflect Arrows/Great Fortitude.

Prolly leave the grove at 14 and holding.  Should be nice starting at 2Monk/12Cleric.

I have a first-life Sun Elf mule toon I have been messing around with; she's currently banking 17, and I was going to go pure but I'm tempted to try this instead.  Originally I was shooting for Necro, but it seems more rational to go for nuking after reading this.  It's tempting to go 16/2/2 with Monk and FvS splashes.  Hmmm.

I was wondering about the raid healing viability and general utility of 2Mnk/18Cleric vs 2Mnk/2Pal/16Cleric or 2Mnk/2FVS/16Cleric

They all have good points.  I guess I will look to see anything other than the obvious that 18 Cleric brings over 16 Cleric with 2 FVS or Pal.

Maybe if some people were playing the game instead of serial TRing they would know there is no such thing as " raid healing".
It's 2014.
Stay ranger/ monkcher if you wanna faster Fot lol.

Call me old fashioned....

But 3 years ago when we were running a daily cycle of DQ, VoN, Hound, Shroud, Reaver it seemed LFMs filled quicker with either my or a guildmates FVS or Cleric in the group.

I suppose I gave the Vault a bit too much credit...it goes without saying that raid healing by and large is not needed.

I rarely if ever have to spend SP healing a raid on my Druid when asked to play that role.

I could probably heal a raid right now on my monkcher AA in US using AoE LoH, Emp Heal cocoon, CMW, CSW and UMD scrolls so w/e.

I havn't played a cleric since long before Enh pass and there are lots of goodies in EA and DD as well as up and coming Divine Crusader to try out I figured why the hell not try it.

Of fucking course healing is like 3rd in line behind DPS and Survivability. 

Fuckwits...

I really like this build, planning on giving it a try next heroic TR.

will either go

a) human - max wis, secondary con and int, dump the rest

1 maximize
1 Insightful reflex (will start 15 int, +5 tome, +6 item)
3 Wiz past life
6 Empower Spell
9 Spell focus evo
12 Quicken Spell
15 heighten? (is it for holy smite SLA and Blade Barrier?)
18 Greater Spell Focus - Evocation

or

b) half elf - max wis, secondary con and cha, dump the rest

1 maximize
1 pally dilly
3 Wiz past life
6 Empower Spell
9 Spell focus evo
12 Quicken Spell
15 heighten? (is it for holy smite SLA and Blade Barrier?)
18 Greater Spell Focus - Evocation


not having morninglord, which would you prefer?
I do want decent saves, hence the human insightful and helf dilly

You're going to have to be level 3 to take active past life feats.

Heighten is to increase the DCs on your spells. In my opinion, it's a must for every caster build.

I think favoured souls have better saves... If all you want is a divine caster, FvS might be a better option for you.

Hm. I don't remember my cleric life build - but I'm pretty sure I built (and played) it as a wizard (maxed out DC/spellpower, heightened slay living - destruction - blade barrier, et cetera). I believe I didn't take SF:evo and GSF:evo - I took SF:necro instead Smiley

Oh, I took human. The saves weren't as high as FvS or paladin, but I made up for it in gear. True neutral so I could save gear slots with Superior Stability items - but if you already have +6 deflection and +6 saves planned in your gear, you can take the alignment of your choice. I also maxed out UMD so I could teleport and scroll cast FoD to confuzzle folks.

Heigthen for BB and Holy Smite, yes. Also for Amaunator's Brilliance (Sunburst), Sunbeam, and Sun Bolt.

Go Human for the extra feat if Insightful Reflexes is important to you.

Go Cleric definitely. Divine Disciple is great (and should be even better after 21.1 update) for Light stuff.

It's a shame you don't have Sun Elf access. That Sunburst SLA is very nice for Blindness and Shiradi procs.

What end game gear did you end up doing?  I'm working on a similar build (though I went Favored Soul / Monk), but now that it's almost 25 I'm at having trouble deciding what combination would work best.
