Possible Training Paths.

[Lady Sylvan]

Hello Fellow Clerics,

I was curious about the new changes to 302, 306, 309 and 335. I am currently a 2-hander wanna-be paladin cleric that gave smiting a try in my late 30's and early 40's, then switched to warcleric because smite just sucked verse the living. With all the new changes and the free fixskill coming up, I need some training advice for giving a caster cleric a retry. I am now nearly level 47 and a sylvankind cleric.

Also, I can see getting 30 ranks of religion lore and some bonus for my Priestess of (Goddess) title. But, when do you stop that to focus on bringing your blessing lore up for 100% chrisms?


Some Training ideas include:

21 extra ranks of cleric to be a CS based caster. (Runestaff user)

Doubling in spell aim for the new 306. (Runestaff user)

Training x1 in brawl and shield for openhand/weaponfire protection.


I could really use some advice from those that play active and older clerics. I really do love playing the cleric class.


Thank you,
Priestess Santiel

I am also dusting off my pocket cleric (42). He is currently a spellcaster/rescue trained but i think his training is a little bit wonky.

Here is his current training. I will post what I fixskill him to. Ideally i'd be a strong CS caster and be able to bolt, but not sure if I can manage both at this level. Will see...

OK here is what I did, now this is just for my personal flavor/taste. I still want to be as effective at raising/rescues but be able to hunt decently well too.

So I dropped MIU and AS completely, reduced my lores to minimum chrism and reduced my MnS spell ranks a bit. I had to give up 130, which sucks for rescues but i'm a Voln master at least so assuming I am getting some decent favor that should not be a problem for now. I upped my cleric ranks a tad, and put the leftovers in Minor Spirit to get back up to 130 as fast as I can. Then I will go full cleric circle until I get +21 ranks. For now I'm a bit overtrained in lores so I will wait until they return to normal cost and start building up my blessings next until I can get to max Chrism hopefully at around mid 50s early 60s. I'm not 100% sure about the spell aiming as I have no clue how good bolting is on a cleric now, but I had a fixskill banked so if its totally shit then I can use the upcoming fixskill to retrain.

enough of the stuff to make chrisms etc.. i think trying to be a spell aim cleric would be really demanding tp wise... but would make for a cool style... that's different than warcleric

I've had my halfling cleric set up as a ranged/spell aim build since day 1 and it's been fun. At 47 now he hits the eye fairly often and web bolt is a solid opener to set up for a kneeling mech xbow shot. A bonus is that a stunned prone webbed target makes 309 and 320 hit quite a bit harder when I want to switch it up.

Mix of bolting and warding cleric. I haven't played him since the new changes to 302/306 but I suspect he will be even better now.
