post cap cleric opinions and suggestions

[Lord Orbstar]

Just did the polymorph potions to make an elven cleric. I have never played one, but this is what I came up with. I plan to use Brigandine armor and be a pure caster with a good abilty to use edged weapons and shield too. I put lores with a mind toward the new 330 and having the ability to use good CS/bolt attacks too. Opinions?

If you were mainly planning to melee, I'd say brig is a decent choice but sword&board seems inefficient. If you're mostly planning to cast, I hope you enjoy fumbles.

edit: I also personally feel that Disarm 5/Feint 2 is the opposite of what it should be.

[Lord Orbstar]

I do not even own a decent set of Brig yet, so I will likely be in doubles or full leathers that I have in my locker. lol. i am going to be primarily as pure caster. the sword is just for fun and is a leftover from my ranger days. I was dual wielding a 6x coraesine khopesh and a 10x handaxe. I figured putting some holy flares on the handaxe would be fun to see. I am voln, but I have always hated voln fu so i didnt want to go shield/brawl. It is probably sub-optimal using a sword, but I accept that as long as I dont get destroyed in the nasty areas we hunt.

The spell hinders be isn’t terrible in brig for a cleric, that’s what I wore. Everything looks fine you should have no issues using 309 or 317 from the pure standpoint though I have no input in the melee part I never got that far post cap on my cleric

I'm curious about the blessings and religion setup I feel like mine is reversed for the lores. Without looking at why I wanna say it does more 317 damage.

religion contributes to damage cycles yes. The blessings could be for spell group buffs since that is the primary factor.

Oh and get yourself 340 talismans. Go make a bunch (takes some time) and charge them up and keep them handy. That is a very nice trinket and I feel like is under-utilized by folks. You can get some sick AS/CS boosts from them, particularly good for dangerous mob bounties or for DR. other characters that follow your deity can gain some level of bonus from it too (if they are spiritual spell circles only I believe they get the full benefit). You can get influence/wisdom sets to boost those up because you ONLY need the bonus boost at the time of casting, then you can locker the stuff until you need to reload all the talismans
