Cleric

bludskarr

I have a strong feeling that I know the answer. I want to make a healing/heavy weapons character, along the theme of a D and D cleric or paladin. I'd like a good mix of melee damage, supportive buffs, and healing. Can that really be made to work?

Sounds fun. Let's try:

PowerHouse (Link to this build)

Super Stats:
Level 6: Intelligence (Primary)
Level 10: Constitution (Secondary)
Level 15: Presence (Secondary)

Talents:
Level 1: The Invincible
Level 6: Survival Training
Level 9: Shrug It Off
Level 12: Healthy Mind
Level 15: Diplomatic
Level 18: Acrobat
Level 21: Finesse

Powers:
Level 1: Eldritch Bolts
Level 1: Compassion
Level 6: Aura of Primal Majesty (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 8: Eruption (Rank 2, Magma Burst)
Level 11: Conviction (Rank 2, Reverence)
Level 14: Molecular Self-Assembly
Level 17: Iniquity (Rank 2, Justice)
Level 20: Brimstone (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 23: Skewer (Rank 2, Rank 3, Follow Through)
Level 26: Redemption (Rank 2, Salvation)
Level 29: Ascension
Level 32: Brute Strike (Rank 2, Concussion)
Level 35: Masterful Dodge
Level 38: Guard

Travel Powers:
Level 6: Athletics (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 35: Flight

Specializations:
Intelligence: Enlightened (3/3)
Intelligence: Battle of Wits (2/3)
Intelligence: Detect Vulnerability (3/3)
Intelligence: Expertise (2/2)
Sentinel: Torment (2/2)
Sentinel: Caregiver (3/3)
Sentinel: Sentinel Aura (3/3)
Sentinel: Wither (2/2)
Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
Warden: Elusive (2/2)
Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
Mastery: Sentinel Mastery (1/1)

Last 2 powers can be w/e.

Brute Strike can put up Wither and Sentinel Mastery (at lvl 40), as well as trauma- mine as well make use of that synergy. Else, use Vicious Descent and Brimstone in AoE, and Skewer/Eruption vs. bosses while keeping debuffs up w/ Brute Strike (can also stun-lock mobs w/ it, if ya want).

Gearing for this would mostly be for Pres and Con, w/ some Int and Dex/crit.

(oh, worth mentioning- but the build doesn't have a normal attack till lvl 8, so its not a starter build, but that could be modified and re-trained around pretty easily at very low levels)
