Think i finally got it right. (For real this time)

Post by Exordius » Sun Nov 07, 2021 4:09 am

So as everyone knows i been remaking a ton of times trying to get the perfect build and its been tough but i think i finally got it. The one thing i was always missing was ac, at best i could get 40, maybe 45 which is far short of the recommended 55-60 for optimal defense in pve and pvp. This new build will top out at over 60 when all is said and done so finally the one thing that needed to be fixed has been. Are there any other bits of advice to finalize it?

You'll have to help us out here. What build are you referring to?

Similar to my last one, healer path cleric with maxed out dex and wisdom, spell dc's around 39-40 for 9th level spells, but this time with a small dip into monk to provide the needed ac boost it was missing.

It is worth noting that the healer path is on the chopping block, and will be completely removed in the nearish future. Your character will not be grandfathered with the path, instead it will be reverted to a normal cleric.

If you're fine with this, then go ahead.

Where does this information come from, Kaeldre?

Why are they removing it, what is wrong with it?... if that is true then they better be adding a new cleric path to replace it or people are not gonna be happy.

Can't find the first mention of it, but it was first discussed by Kenji during the first round of cleric changes. Healer is eventually getting mothballed with it's abilities out into domains. As if last time I heard, anyway.

^ Drowboy is right. The change will be followed by the introduction of a new path so stay tuned.

And the reason is simple. The package healer granted was not held back by its limitations, and it became a universal upgrade to existing builds instead of giving people a healer archetype to play.

This post should clarify on where healer stands in case anyone is still interested.
