    To get started, choose Light Domain at level 1. Light Domain Clerics receive Warding Flare at level 1. This Reaction shields you with Divine Light, causing Disadvantage on your attacker possibly causing their attack to miss. This is key for our build which focuses on generating lots of Radiating Orbs which further decrease enemies chance to hit.
    For your race, this build is perfect for any type of elf. Wood-elf would be ideal for the increased move speed but any elf is good because we want Fey Ancestry so that we cannot be magically put to sleep. This will come in handy later when we use Glyph of Warding: Sleep on top of ourselves when we’re surrounded by enemies to put them all to sleep without falling asleep to it ourselves. Shadowheart is a half-elf so she works perfectly for this build too.
    However, keep in mind that the Fire Bolt granted from High Elf and High Half-Elf are from the Wizard spell list and its attack roll adds your Intelligence modifier, which will be low. When it comes to act 1, I highly recommend using Produce Flame instead of Fire Bolt because Produce Flame uses your spellcasting ability modifier - which is Wisdom - instead of Intelligence for its attack roll so it will hit much more often. Also, Produce Flame’s tooltip is actually incorrect in game on Clerics and it actually deals more damage than it says at level 5 and 10. However, against undead, if you’re going to use a cantrip, Sacred Flame is the way to go. There’s also a necklace called Necklace of Elemental Augmentation which adds your spellcasting ability modifier to the damage of your cantrip when it deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, so make sure to grab that when you’re in the Inquisitor’s Chamber in Creche Y’llek to make your produce flame even stronger.
    Produce Flame can also be helpful in act 2 to provide your party a source of light against the shadow curse before you gain protection against it. Also, make sure to get Guidance as your third cantrip as this will be used very frequently in dialogue and when faced with ability checks. You can also use it preemptively when entering new areas to give yourself a bonus to nature, perception, and religion or history ability checks for example that can happen when you discover a new area.
    For your spells you’ll want to choose Guiding Bolt, Command, Bless, and Inflict Wounds. Guiding Bolt grants advantage on the next attack roll against the target creature and deals 2d6 radiant damage. This is your ranged single target damage spell. Inflict Wounds is also great for single target, but requires melee range and deals 3d10 Necrotic Damage. Since Inflict Wounds is an attack roll and melee range, you can guarantee it’s a critical hit by using it on targets that are sleeping, or paralyzed from Hold Person. Bless is great for improving your team’s ability to land attacks and command is solid crowd control. You can also disarm enemies with Command: Drop Weapon.
    At level 2 you’ll gain your first channel divinity charge. This can be used to Turn Undead, which causes Undead creatures to flee in a large area of effect. This will get much stronger at level 5 once we gain Destroy Undead.
    We also gain Radiance of the Dawn, which uses a Channel Divinity Charge to deal 2d10 + character level radiance damage in a large area of effect. Radiant damage is a huge part of this build so this will be what we use on non-undead creatures for repeatable AOE radiant damage.

      Would be better to respec and start as a sorc since you would then have proficiency in con saves +war caster, which would make it damn near impossible for your concentration to be broken.

  • @firex148
    @firex148 4 місяці тому +206

    Nice build, I would personally go for the Reverberation route though by wearing the Gloves of Belligerent Skies, Boots of Stormy Clamour and Thunderskin Cloak. It means that anything that gets in your Spirit Guardians automatically get 4 turns of reverberation and so -4 to Str Dex and Con saving throws, and if they have 5 turns then they take 1d4 thunder damage AND fall prone if they don’t succeed a 10 DC con saving throw which will happen a lot with the -4 penalty. And on the off chance they do hit you with all the radiating orbs on them, they’ll get Dazed if they don’t succeed a Con saving throw cos of the cloak. Synergy all round

    • @AshOs90
      @AshOs90 4 місяці тому +9

      @@Toyhouze It is! That option is a lot more effective in my experience. Boots of speed are a waste of a slot, as your bonus action is used by fly anyway. with the gloves as well you set up your martial characters for advantage on pretty much every enemy, as they are all prone. prone also halves their movement as it takes half to stand up.

    • @haiclips3358
      @haiclips3358 4 місяці тому

      I'd swap out boots of stormy clamour for the boots of speed. bonus action dash and disadvantage on opportunity attacks. Take 1 level in sorcerer for con save prof. And shield so you can use your reaction to increase your ac by 5.

    • @dominikgose2609
      @dominikgose2609 4 місяці тому

      ​@@haiclips3358isnt the math behind disadvantage -5.5? Id wager having warding flare is better than shield but it is only for 1 hit. Not that it matters. 5+ radiant orbs mean they cant hit me anyways

    • @haiclips3358
      @haiclips3358 4 місяці тому

      its about 3.5. The more important thing is opportunity cost. Shield will last the entire turn, and you want to trigger as many AoO for the holy lance helm for even more stacks of radiant orb. You dont need disadvantage from warding flare, as that is alrready being granted by the boots of spped click heels bonus action. Which I also value more over boots of stormy clamour.@@dominikgose2609

    @jtirri8842 4 місяці тому +14

    The Amulet of the Devout's +2 to spell save DC, when added to staves with +DC and a high spellcasting ability makes your DCs really high. I think that once you have this item you can comfortably give away the Hat of Fire Acuity to another party member.
    Basically, any offensive caster with Scorching Ray can use it as an opener and then have unsavable control spells. The HoFA is also great on martials that deal fire damage (with either of the Helldusk gloves,) especially a control archer.
    Words of caution on getting the Amulet: When you steal it and get the "castigated" curse, *do not* Short Rest or Long Rest. You can remove curse first to reduce the negative consequences, and then heal one party member at a time. Anyone present for the crime can get the curse, so sending your rogue in alone is best.
    The curse summons a pair of extraplanars (usually high level Devas) to attack you, but what may not be obvious is that it summons a pair of them *for each cursed party member that gets healed.* So, if you take either rest you could get jumped by 2 x healed party member Devas. On Honor Mode, 8 angry Devas might be overwhelming if you are not prepared. Using Remove Curse on an afflicted party member will reduce the number of avenging extraplanar attackers to 1 instead of 2.
    For best results, send your sneakthief character into the building alone, then cast remove curse on them, then heal them and you will just have to dispatch one angry Deva, which should be no problem.

    It's a great build, if you want a tanking Cleric. I did a respec on Shadowheart and made her a LIFE Cleric. She still has Spirit Guardians, but mostly I have her cast Sanctuary and then heal and buff everyone as needed. Most of the time I finish battles with everyone nearly at full health, although their spells and attacks are depleted. I like this, it looks amazing, but I don't know if it's a build I need from my Cleric right now (just starting Act 2.) I will keep this in mind though should I find that I need her offensive assistance. Thanks for all you do! ETA: it appears LIGHT Cleric may be a good choice for Act 2, and I also watched another video about this build so when SH hits level 8 (very very soon) I may just respec her to this at least for the rest of Act 2.

    @timfriday9106 3 місяці тому +2

    What about... Eldritch Knight 8?
    At level 8, you can get blur and mirror image plus you'll have shield. so everything misses you. Use adamantine shield for reeling. Lumninous helm and luminous armor. for orbs, mental fatigue ring. So you have 3 conditions you put on enemies when they miss.
    Then use boots of stormy clamor, and gloves of belligerent skies. which add reverb every time you inflict a condition or do radiant dmg. you're always doing radiant dmg and always inflicting conditions.
    Use shining staver for the radiant dmg. then the rare light mace that does 2d8 piercing and 1d4radiant.
    THEN, you can use arcane synergy ring and elemental augmentation necklace. With EK war magic ability, you cast a cantrip and get a main hand attack as a bonus action, and that triggers arcane synergy for 2 turns and necklace adds spell mod to your cantrip, then arcane synergy adds you caster mod to your melee attacks.
    Because you never get hit you can go low on con. you only need 14 dex to get 2 ac from your medium armor so you can go 16-16 on your str and int. You can use feats to buff these stats, but...I would recommend several other feats that can fit this build.
    level 8 ek gets 2 attacks and 3 feats. at level 9 you get misty step. level 10 you get eldtritch strike(enemies you attack get disadvantage against you, so they miss) Everything that misses you, basically goes prone. and while they are prone they are stacking up reverb so they are way less able to stand back up, and you just stack orbs/reverb on them while thety sit there struggling to stand up.
    Level 11 you get 3 attacks and level 12 you get your 4th feat. fighter is a REALLY mean full class and EK gives you a lot of extra help in the spells department that is really the only thing lacking in fighter. perfect gish build.
    This build also works REALLY well for blade pact warlock 5(for the feat and extra attack) and then 2 palladin for the radiant dmg you get from paladin and is also charisma based. after that, sorc till end of the game for metamagic/sorc points.
    So you can dump stat str and int and wis, all you need is dex 14 for the 2 ac, and stack charisma since your spells and weapon attacks use charisma.

    Try Sorc1+Cleric5+Abjurer6 for even more survivability. Works for both Light and Tempest cleric subclasses. For the sorcerer level, you can stick with the free Fly movement (which you forgot to mention competes for the BA with Click Heels) or switch over to White Dragon for Armor of Agathys, depending on whether you want to be invulnerable or not. If you do go the dragon route, switch out False Life for something else (Magic Missile, say) as the THPs from FL and AoA do not stack. This is generally a great build for Shadowheart after her loyalty switch and by varying the number of levels of these harmonious classes, such as adding a few more Sorc levels for Quickened Spell, you can create variations that have a different emphasis while maintaining the overall build concept.

    The firebolt cantrip is the best for the knowledge subclass Cleric. It can get 3 modifiers to added dmg if using multiclass with a dragon sorc, int (for first act only), x2 wis, and cha. It can do 60+ dmg per bolt and hit like 4 enemies or 2 enemies twice. Add on the elemental adapt feat to ignore fire res for a bonus. A lvl 8 knowledge cleric with 2 warlock levels can also make a Eblast that adds wis and cha that does 60+ dmg as well.

    • @ProbeAway
      @ProbeAway 4 місяці тому

      Multiclassing doesn’t work like that. You can’t add 3 different ability modifiers to one spell. If fire bolt is learned as a wizard cantrip, it always just uses INT. If eldritch blast is learned as a warlock, it always uses CHA. You can’t also add your WIS modifier just because you take cleric levels.

    • @AllyMonsters
      @AllyMonsters 4 місяці тому

      @@ProbeAway It does work like that. What you get at level 8 in the knowledge or light subclass for clerics is Potent spell casting, adding wis onto your cantrips. Sorcs have draconic bloodlines that make it so cha is added to their cantrips and spells of their element they choose for their bloodline. Warlock has it so at level 2 invocation EBlast adds cha. Mods can stack, even if they are the same.
      Then you have items like the amulet of elemental augmentation to add another instance of your spell modifier onto fire, cold, acid, thunder or lighting spells. With the int circlet (you only have to use it till ya get enough levels to get a cha firebolt) it's very easy to get 17 int, 20 wis, and 20 cha. So the fire bolt is int/cha base, potent spell casting adds wis, the amulet adds wis or cha, and the sorc bloodline adds cha. Now you have a firebolt that uses 3 mods. Without other items that boost spell dmg or add any more dmg the firebolt is doing roughly 35-60ish dmg a hit. And can still be upgraded higher with other items like Kethrics cloak and such.
      Also, every cantrip you learn from a race selection (like high elfs) will be the int/wizard version of the cantrip. Doesn't matter what class you pick. The game will also tell you what the base modifier is for a spell/cantrip when you select from the multiple versions of the spell/cantrip if you have more then one learned from different modifiers/classes.

    Harm is unfortunately bugged. It works as expected if they succeed their save (half damage). But on a failed save they only get an HP reduction via a hidden value roll, without an actual damage roll.
    This has the same effect if they are on full health, but the more health they’ve already lost, the less damage you do. If they’ve already lost more health than the harm HP reduction, you do zero damage. Also, because the game doesn’t register an actual damage roll on a failed save, on-hit effects (like radiating orb) don’t get applied.

I don't think you meant it as one but text usually comes off in the worst way possible. I think it's important to remember that there's more to learn in this world than can possibly be experienced in a lifetime. Being gracious when we are able to share something we've learned goes much further than incredulity that someone else hasn't had the experiences we have. Hopefully Toyhouze will learn this little tidbit of information and go on to make more quality content.
