Priorities at cap

[HalflingNitergen]

Any suggestions on what I should aim for after capping? I finally reached 1x perception and physical fitness. I started working towards cdefense because bandits have been kicking my ass due to the dispelling crystals hitting wof/airwall while stuck in RT. Should I consider going after shield/brawling a little more to raise my DS while proned? I rarely hunt with outside spells so any recommendations would be welcomed.

If your issue is DS, Shield and Brawling would be the fastest ways to generate it that can't be mucked with via dispels. CDefense as a way to lower RT locks is probably not going to be impactful and will take a while to gen enough TPs. I think it was 5 ranks of CDef gave defense like it was 1 rank of the trained skill, just for everything.

If this is specifically about bandits, my advice is to just stop hunting them solo. It's really difficult as a cleric.

That said, you seem to be missing a key ability that if you are to have any success at all, you will likely want. I find being able to bolt (coupled with constantly maintaining WoF) help manage bandits. So, you might want to pick up 2x Spell Aiming.

If this is not specifically about bandits, I'd still advise you picking up spell aiming, and also suggest you try and finish CM.

If you really want a challenge, you can always try and 1x dodge. =)

With a 507 CS, spell aiming would primarily be for invasion mobs? I've heard there are a few that are hard to ward outside of orb/spirit slayer, but I'm rarely in the landing to see that happen. If I stick with Kitsun's advice sounds like I should go shield/brawl and finish off my lores.
