Suggestions appreciated a.k.a. stupid noob request

Hey all,

Sorry to be asking what is most likely going to be seen as something a small child would ask, but I was hoping for help with a cleric build.

Here's the situation, I haven't played since probably 2013 or so.  I'm back and pretty damn lost on what is high end or reaper.  I was an alt-aholic back in the day (24 characters) and am at least smart enough to not do that again.  So I'm making two mains (one caster and one non) and starting the grind of racial and epic completionists (not sure regular completionist is worth it compared to the other two).

But while I'm slowly grinding through the past lives, I would like one character that can run some high end stuff so that I'm at least learning about end game and not completely unprepared in the long run.

I have a sun-elf cleric that has 3 PL cleric and is level 28.  He's 18/2 cleric/pali (I don't know what the fuck I was thinking, it was five years ago).  He was probably meant to be an undead turning healbot.  I'd like to make him useful in endgame as a healer but I'm assuming just healing alone isn't as useful as a cleric who can heal and cc or heal and add some dps.  So I thought it stick my neck out here and deal with the shitstorm of being known as a moron on these forums in the hope of getting some useful advice amongst the name calling.

TLDR: Please help me make a semi-useful cleric that can heal and do something in endgame.  (I was thinking arcane archer for some crowd control, but I may just be an idiot)

Here's what I've got:
Lvl 18/2 cleric pali, sun elf, 3 PL cleric, +3/4 tomes across the board, two raider's reward boxes (so Pinion or whatever is easy).
I'm more than willing to spend a little money on a +5 lesser heart and switch out Pali Levels, or add monk levels or change to pure cleric.  I'm just a lazy cunt who doesn't want to TR this one and figures that just a plain healbot isn't the best use of a party member in a raid or reaper.  Maybe i'm wrong.

Cheers,

Jesster

There's a fire cleric already posted here, or you can do a Google search for "build repository". Most of the ones on the repository don't have domains listed yet, but instakill is king right now so many of them work well with the death domain. An eleven war cleric with a bow does sound interesting, though. That may be worth trying to develop.

I run in a static group with someone running this cleric.  We run R3-4, and he provides all the CC and healing for the group.  Earth domain for earthquake.

This is an update on my earlier build here (http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1459834251/15#15), I just never went back and updated it.  There are better choices for destiny feats if you have everything unlocked.  Otherwise, it makes a pretty easy first pass through epics.

    Fire cleric:

    http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1508369301/0#0

    Intended for zerging heroics, but can do more than heal. The same thing but with earth domain would be better for endgame.

    AA paralyze cleric:

    http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1506711297/21#21

    More gear intensive, but even better CC.

    Wolf, I appreciate the build and I like the design.  Sadly I'm stuck as a sun elf so it might not work as it seems to require Human for the extra feat.

    5FS thanks for the build links, I really like that second one that you made for your friend.   Easy to respec into and gives me goals for gear.

    Hey, at the end of the posts in that thread on your AA cleric you mention that if you were to do it for yourself you would likely do 14/6 Cleric/Monk for the 10k stars.  If you did that, what extra feats would you take with the monk levels?  I'm assuming gear and everything else would likely be about the same?

    Thanks again... this is hugely helpful!

    -Jesse

    1 Zen Archery
    2 Precision
    6 10k Stars

    The gear listed was top notch pre-ravenloft. Good news is you can get an even higher DC with RL named gear + sentient filigrees. It's a lot easier to pull the quest items than grinding slavers ad nauseam. Bad news is I don't have an updated list for you and raid loot can be elusive.

    Then again, someone's probably already posted an enchantment caster DC gear list with the new stuff. All you need to do is copy that to max your enchant DC, then fit in whatever else you can (Doubleshot, deadly, deception, etc.) wherever is left.
