  Are you the same WARDADDY that goes solo onto 2 in Gauntelgrym as Delzoun and pretend he is useful while getting slaugthered innumerous times?
  
  I don't see the usage of Hammer of Faith in PvE. It's subpar compared to Flamestrike, even singletarget-wise.
  
  Not using Hallowed ground at all makes no sense, too. Same goes for Astral Seal.
  
  Your post isn't presented in a proper way, which makes it hard to read in the first place. The information given is pretty accurate, but nothing written which can't be found in Kaelecs guide or other posts.
  
  I don't see any use here, sorry mate. I'm sure you can do better

  Neverwinter Class gear stats ratings and how to use enchantments to achieve min/max soft and hard caps
  http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Neverwinter_Class_gear_stats_ratings_and_how_to_use_enchantments_to_achieve_min/max_soft_and_hard_caps
  
  The general offensive stat priorities (excluding specialized builds) is as follows
  Due to Diminishing Returns Soft Caps & Hard Caps Gear/Item Stats Ratings Priorities
  Primary: Power>Max Hit Point= No noticable Hard Caps aka unlimited untill over 10k+
  Secondary: Armor-Pen>Critical-Strike>Defense>Deflect>Recovery>Regen>Life-Steal>Movement-Speed and Tenacity in PvP content but has no effect in PvE.
  Special Note: *Companions Effects only PvE not PvP content.
  
  These are the numbers that exceed a growth rate of .8% per 100 points, .4% per 50, and .2% per 25 (Optimal return for points invested)
  This is where you will likely want to bring any non-priority stat up to.
  Power = No D.R. Hard Caps aka unlimited
  Max Hit Point = No D.R. Hard Caps aka unlimited
  ArPen - 2000 (20.27%*)
  Critical - 1700 (15.16%)
  Defense - 1600 (24.65%)
  Deflect - 1200 (10.10%)
  Life steal - 600 (4.99%)
  Movement - 1200 (10.11%)
  Recovery - 1600 (13.86%)
  Regen - 600 (4.99%)
  Tenacity - 1000-1500 or 20.0%min - 25%max
  
  These are basically the absolute max you will want to go before they become useless due to diminishing returns.
  Power & Max Hit Points over 10,000 (.3% per 100, .15 per 50, .075 per 25 points)
  Recovery - 3800 (25.06%)
  Defense - 3600(34.31%)
  ArPen - 3600(28.52%*)
  Critical - 8500(47.51%)
  Life steal - 2100(12.73%)
  Movement - 3200(20.64%)
  Regen - 2100(12.82%)
  Deflect- -3200(20.27%)
  Special Note: *For PvE ArPen is only effective up to a total of 24%
  Bosses 24% mitigation Brutes 20% or 22% mitigation Strikers and Leaders 16.2% or 18% mitigation Minions 14.4% mitigation Controllers and Ranged Strikers 12.8% or 14% mitigation

  Gear/Items Stats Ratings
  The Devoted Cleric should carry a minimum of 3x different sets of gear/jewellery
  so to shuffle the stats depending on situation.
  
  #1 Survivability Set=(Max Hit-Points/Defense/Deflect) = PvP Cap Tanking
  PvP Tenacity Gear sets available from the Trade of Blades PvP Shop Merchants NPC's These are Rare Blue and are available starting at level 15-25-35-45-55.
  At level 60 you now can access the tier 1 PvP Tenacity Gear Sets
  Special Note * I Suggested & Recommended focusing on the Faithful/Warding combination sets focus on achieving +Max H.P. Defense & Deflection
  
  Defensive Stats:
  
  Max Hit Points = 30k+ for endgame to survive those larger spike hits.
  
  Defense = 35% - 40% overall damage resistance.
  Defense and armor class contributes to your Damage Reduction rating (DR). Each 1% DR means you take 1% less incoming damage.
  Get 1.5k as you can, high HP pool means nothing without some defense.
  Then as you get boons and upgrades work to get to about 2.3k or so.
  Some sets are better for this than others, you don't need too much defence because you could cap it with encounters and abilities.
  
  Lifesteal = For a PvE/PvP (Team Support/Healing Spec = 600 - 800 or for a PvE Soloing DPS Spec = 800-1200
  
  Regeneration = min soft cap is 800, hard cap is 1600
  Because of a high +Max H.P. pool for tankiness Regeneration is quite effective.
  Recommend 800-1000 or higher especially for PvP which is fine though I wonld not go above 1600 maximum, due to Diminishing Returns Drop Off, you will pull a lot of aggro for Healing and Regen is a free self heals
  
  Deflect = High Deflect builds are definitely possible for both PvP and PvE if you prefer to go that route Slot all offense and defense slots with highest ranked Silvery Enchantment available.
  
  DC/AC Off-Tank/Team Support/Heal/Buff Builds for both PvE & PvP
  
  Enchantments:
  will grant a bonus depending on the type of slot it is placed into and there are five types of slots: Offensive, Defensive, Utility, Weapon and Armor.
  Some enhancements (e.g. Black Ice Enchantment) will provide multiple bonuses at one time depending on slot.
  
  Enchantment Slots
  Start with minimum of Rare Blue Rank 5's up-grade to Epic Purple Rank 7's<10's ASAP
  Offense: Silvery Enchantment= Recovery
  Defense: Silvery Enchantments= Deflection
  Utility: Dark Enchantments = Movement Speed=Dodge Immunity for more Resist of Crowd Controls/Holds/Stuns
  
  t1 Battle Set and or t1 Prophet Champion (From Gauntlgrym 20v20 PvP)
  t2 Grim Set
  t3 Profound Set
  
  All provide a decent bonus to divinity gain.
  These PvP sets have Tenacity which boosts PvP survival but are fine to use in PvE.
  My suggestion and recommendation is to focus on the ((Faithful/Warding)) sets as it's the most tanky.
  Divinity gain is a key central mechanic to DC effectiveness in mod 5 and if you are heavily into empowerment these sets can help improve the divinity recharge speed.
  
  Black Ice (Module 3)
  This is among the most Defensive gear sets that is good for PvP as well as PvE content Team Support game play, once you empower it up.
  Once at Tier 3 Black Ice Profession you have a 4k+ Defense, Deflect and Max H.P. bonuses.
  Special Note: *If you have issues surviving certain parts of dungeons or boss fights (e.g. Epic S.o.T.) this may be a good substitute.
  Once you mine/farm Raw Black Ice and complete IWD quest missions for Refined Black Ice, you can buy the basic black ice helm/chestpiece/boots from the Black Ice Merchant/Vendor NPC with ((Black Ice)). The black ice gloves are a random drop/reward from any of the ((LARGE)) Heroic Encounters in Icewind Pass.
  This is a decent A.D. free option, but does require Black Ice Profession t3 unlocked to access and be able to shape (refine) raw black ice into useable black ice to charge/recharge both the ((Corrupted and Purified Black Ice Gear/Items)).
  
  Suggested & Recommend Basic Black Ice Gear Slots = Black Ice & Dark Enchantments
  Start with minimum of Rare Blue Rank 5's up-grade to Epic Purple Rank 7's<10's ASAP
  
  #2 Healing Set = (Power/Crit/Recovery)
  Best of Both Worlds PvE/PvP Team Support Heals Builds
  High Prophet Set (T1)
  +779 P +1252 C +1652 R +945 D
  when striking foe you shred 10% foe defense up to 3 times for 4s each.
  
  What it does:
  Each attack from you (direct attack such as your At Will/Encounter/Daily),
  does not include procs like burning guidance or DoT ticks it places 1 stack of High prophet debuff on the enemy; this lasts for 4 seconds each and you can have up to 3x stacks.
  
  Special Note: *This does not stack from multiple DCs in PvP each one reduces their defense rating by 10%.
  In PvE each one makes the foe take up to 10%- mob damage resistance (DR) , so if a mob has no DR they take 10% more damage from all sources per stack; if a mob has 20% DR then can receive up to 8% per stack; if the attacker does not have full ArP the extent of High Prophet debuff is reduced further for this player.
  
  This is an amazing set both for T1s and Endgame, the Recovery Bonus is always good in T1 and T2. I currently do all endgame content including Castle Never in High Prophet set because of its set bonus. For Skirmishes/Daily Sharandar Dungeons/ Foundries/Gauntlgrym and when you are soloing allows you to kill stuff much faster.
  
  You basically do up to 10% more damage to enemies per stack (depends on their DR and your ArP up to 30% (if enemy has no DR) if you can keep 3 stacks up. This is better than and complementary with the High Vizier stack because it works with
  At-Wills, not just Encounters. Every cleric should have one of these because it is among one of the most powerful debuffs in the game. Hit Dracolich or Enemy Bosses once in a while with it and it’s an instant DPS boost to party.
  
  Best in slot for DPS spec and PvE fast runs. If you gear yourself right around this set, you don’t really need the T2 set to run anything else.
  
  Special Note: *Even if you used it and prefer T2 sets don’t sell it because it’s handy to keep for future situations.
  
  How to use High Prophet- a lot of players dislike High Prophet because they can't put stacks on everything. Generally your role as a DC is to Debuff and put Astral Seal on the stronger mobs so they die as fast as trash. In a dungeon run it's not trash clean-up that takes a lot of time but more so time spent on tougher adds and bosses.
  
  Forget about attacking/putting stacks on trash. You are already debuffing the priority targets and bosses with astral seal and divine glow, that's 2 stacks. Attacking them once more is 3 stacks. Otherwise burst with Punishing light for ~1s per target to keep stacks up.
  
  Special Note: *This synergises very will with ((Plague Fire Enchant)) as it has the same mechanics.
  
  Although you may feel your healing is not that significant when wearing HP set in T2's, but once you start upgrading your jewellery and enchants you will heal just fine.
  
  Special Note: *Don't get hung up about Gear Score- a seasoned player learns to value set bonuses and the right stats rather than inflating G.S. PUGs will ask for 15k regardless.
  
  
  
  That (Assumption is NOT strictly speaking true; in a dungeon most DPSers have
  50% - 70% or so of their Healing via lifesteal, and only 20% or so is from the DC. Lifesteal healing is directly linked to how much damage the DPS'ers do.
  
  The High Prophet set debuffs targets and raises their damage by up to 24% in PvE. That means you also raise their lifesteal by 24% using High Prophet Set Bonus Buffs. In contrast, the Miracle Healer is about 6% of your overall healing, and usually 1-2% of the DPS'ers incoming healing, if at all.
  
  The High Prophet is actually one of your best healing sets, it's just that the numbers don't go to you so that players think it does not help with healing.
  
  Also the High Prophet Set is a very decent soloing pve set, as you do that much more damage to all your opponents, thus Faster kills = less damage taken = less to heal.
  
  #3 Armor-Penintration Sets = (Armor Penitration/Power/Crit) PvE DPS Soloing
  
  Mod 4 Draconic Set:
  Buffs your allies within 50' gain 20% more incoming healing from DC abilities.
  
  Mod 5 Draconic Templar Set
  Debuffs the Enemys' Defense and Crit Severity by 10%.
  This is a new Debuff/Damage Mitigation Set.
  Only one stack I think, so not as strong as High Prophet but decent.
  The Crit Severity Debuff is negligible, only decrease overall damage by a few%.
  
  Special Note: *This is IMHO the better PvE DC/DO DPS/Heals Sets, and an upgrade from the older
  ((Miracle Healer Set)). Since Mod 5 the DC/DO DPS/Healing is more feat based, uncapped and improved. This set gives your a more well rounded gear ratings distribution and decent boost to your over all DPS/healing prowess; in particular, if you are worried about scoring well in Large Heroic Encounters, this is the set to go for. I do not recommend any 2+2 gear combos; your set bonuses are good and not using them for the sake of inflating Gear Score is a waste. The only exception is for specialist builds, for example, a very high POWER Build (10k+) or very high Survivability Build with max hard cap Defense/Deflect/Recovery/Regeneration.
  
  Offensive Stats
  Armor-Penatration= ~2000
  This is because ArP contributes to your resistance ignored (RI) stats
  
  BUT! If you do not care about DPS in the slightest what so ever then do not spec for ArP but don't complain that you can't kill anything. LOL :P
  
  If you want the best of both worlds, I recommend getting 1000 base gear stat rating, then add 800 from items/enchantments and your other gear sets that you swap in/out when you solo or feel like you want/need more DPS.
  (e.g.), Rings with ArP with rank 6 or 7 Dark Enchantments) and the use of PvE Augmented Pets helps a lot with this; you can easily add 370 or more ArP per item.
  
  Theoretically you need 2540 ArP to completely negate resistance on bosses, but I feel that this it is not as important even for a DC/DO pure DPS focus spec due to diminishing returns; your debuffs will make up for it for you party/team/group.
  
  
  Refer to and Review: http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Armour_Penetration
  
  Armor Penetration aka ArP, is a character rating found on equipment.
  It has the effect of negating an opponent's Damage Resistance by contributing to Resistance Ignored aka (R.I.)
  
  ArP Cap
  Armor Penetration cannot increase a target's susceptibility to damage beyond reducing their damage resistance to zero, which means that armor penetration has no effect past the point where a character's resistance ignored reaches an opponent's damage resistance.
  
  In PvE it is generally accepted that normal enemies have 22% damage resistance, and Bosses have 24%.
  
  Because of this, achieving 24% resistance ignored is effectively the "ArP Cap" for AP in PvE.
  
  In a PvP context, the amount of AP that can be effective depends upon the damage resistance of a given player/opponent gear/items/enchantments ratings.
  
  ArP Contribution to Resistance Ignored aka (R.I.)
  This table shows the relationship between Armor Penetration and the potential for Resistance Ignored.
  
  The relationship is a complicated one, because the effect of a point of AP is dependent upon how much AP a character is at already; AP seems to get more effective as it is stacked, up to a certain point at which diminishing returns take effect.
  
  Recovery = 1800 to 3000
  Generally I recommend something between 1800 to 3000, depending on what gear set type you prefer to use, you either have lots of recovery, none at all or something in between. The Good News is that max hard cap Recovery is not mandatory so getting 75% uptime is not as important. The Bad News is we lost a feat that gave us free recovery (Rising Hope). So if your gear puts you way beyond that there's not much you can do than swap jewellery around, but at least the AP gain is nice. I don't recommend going beyond 4k. Now that divinity and empowerment mechanic has been remodeled you are only constrained by how fast you gain/spend divinity and the ridiculous casting animations rather than cooldowns as much.
  
  Refer to and Review:
  http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Recovery
  Recovery
  Tooltip[edit]
  Recovery
  Increases the recharge speed of your Encounter powers and the amount of Action Points you gain so Recovery is how fast the character regains Action Points, and lowers the cooldown on certain powers.
  
  Critical-Strike = 1500-1800 (if no Vorpal), or with Perfect Vorpal 3000.
  Again your C.S. can vary a lot with gear sets. Power always trumps Crit-Strike at the cut offs mentioned in the Diminishing Returns section. Crit should not be ignored totally because of the proc and especially if you're building for DPS. Generally if your overall crit chance is somewhere between 30-35% you're good.
  
  Power- put the rest of your stat points here once you have enough investment in the others. Many people overstack power early on, actually you need to work on everything else first. Power helps improve your healing and DPS baseline. Start at 3k and work towards 6k+. Some DPS builds dump a lot into power, that works too. 12k+ power builds are possible.
  
  Refer to and Review:
  http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=Critical+Strike+&fulltext=Search
  
  Critical Strike:
  Critical Strike Increases your chance that you will land a critical hit with an attack or with healing spells.
  
  Critical Strike is a game mechanic that increases your chance to Critically Strike an enemy by a percentage per Critical Strike point.
  Critically Striking an enemy cause you to deal bonus damage.
  
  Critical Severity:
  The bonus damage dealt from Critical Strikes is determined by Critical Severity. The normal Critical Severity is 75%, meaning that you deal 75% extra damage with an ability if it Critically Strikes. Example: You use a Power against an enemy. It normally deals 100 damage. If you Critically Strike the same foe with the same Power, you will deal 175 damage, assuming that you have normal Critical Severity.
  Critical Severity can be increased with various Powers and Feats.
  Critical Strike chance and Critical Severity can be viewed under your Character Panel (default key C).
  
  Weapon Enchantments:
  Weapon enchantments grant special effects and powers not covered by the standard enchantments.
  They are used in high level equipment with a weapon enchantment slots.
  
  Special Note: *Save AD/Zen/Tarmalune Trade Bars for the [Coalescent Ward], this ward guarantees a 100% successful upgrade attempt.

  Thank you for this information. I have very similar set up and playstyle however I have some problems when it comes to the balance of dealing damage and heal/buff/shield in dungeons.
  
  Can you give a hint of your setup (i.e atwills, encounters, dailys and class feature) and general strategy for dungeons/skirmish?
  
  Also, if you are in a party where you can see that more healing/shield is needed (i.e 1-2 players taking great damage or dies frequently), what do you do?

  Refer to and review: Excerpt from>Kaelac's Module 5 Devoted Cleric Guide:5.4 DPS build (Divine Oracle)
  
  Finally DCs can DPS again if they want to.
  5/5 Astral Fury (more personal DPS)
  5/5 Righteous Suffering (more personal DPS)
  5/5 Bear Your Sins (more party DPS)
  5/5 Fire of the Gods (more personal DPS)
  1/1 Avatar of the Divine
  
  For utility/Damage reduction
  5/5 Resounding Beliefs (better healing)
  5/5 Benefit of Foresight (better damage mitigation)
  
  For Max DPS
  5/5 Condemnation Gaze (more party DPS)
  5/5 Furious Intervention (more AP gain, makes up for not slotting Holy Fervor)
  
  Loadout:
  At-wills:
  Sacred Flame (fast divinity),
  Brand of the Sun (more DPS, divinity gain over time, proc Bear your Sins)
  
  Encounter:
  Chains of Blazing Light (fast to cast, decent DPS and control),
  Daunting Light (your go to nuke),
  Divine Glow (damage, heal, DPS and buff/debuff)
  
  Class Features:
  Terrifying Insight (more personal damage),
  Holy Fervor (AP gain) or Foresight (party mitigation, especially if feated)
  
  Daily:
  Hallowed Ground,
  Flamestrike
  
  You are a bit more vulnerable as a DPSer, least of which is because you don't really heal yourself anymore. For your stats you still want 2k+ defense and 25k max HP.
  
  I would get more lifesteal than usual (like 1k) as well as regeneration.
  
  Your ArP should be a minimum of 2k,
  
  Your Crit chance should be above 33%.
  
  Your Recovery should be minimum of 1800 and only then worry about power.
  
  Suggested & Recommended Powers Cast Rotation:
  
  #1. You probably want to start your rotation with Chains or Divine Glow depending on who leads then once the party used their knocks use Daunting Light.
  
  #2. If you use DG first the party is not in position for everyone to be buffed, and if you use DL first Roar/ Frontline surge may knock them out of the AoE.
  
  #3. For Divine encounters you can spend on all 3/3 skills- chains is fast damage+cc, DL is fast damage, DG is damage plus buffs.
  
  #4. For empowerment you probably want to save it for Daunting Light, even if it is going to be hard to land.
  
  #5. Always try to target DL on toughest boss, and predict their movements.
  
  #6. Work out who have aggro and adjust accordingly.
  
  #7. You want to BoTS tag all the tough mobs for free divinity and DPS and proccing your feats.
  
  #8. The rest is all about earning and spending divinity well.
  
  #9. Use High Prophet set for more personal and party DPS.
  
  #10. If you want to use overload slots then corrupt black ice/draconic/templar are also good candidates.
  
  #11. If you are getting the hang of divinity and want to spend less time on at wills then Divine Fortune can help you with that.
  
  #12. You'll find you don't have very good ways of dealing with threat or many ads due to target limits.
  
  #13. Stick with the party and fight on Icy Terrain where you can, and let the tanks pull.
  
  #14. Buff yourself and the top DPSers with DG.
  
  #15. Burning Guidance and Rousing Warmth feats can help you DPS but also remember you have to heal to procs them too.
  
  #16. Basically you're not the gung ho DPSer, but rather one who works with the party to buff and DPS at the same time.
  
  #17. Apart from BoTS, Divine Sunburst is a good power to put DoTs on, but in party situation it's going to be hard not to get into other's ways knocking all over the place; ((Use it only if all your Part/Teammates are OK with it's Knockback, it is both a Damage/DPS and a Heal/HPS. but some player/character/classes may not be happy about the knockback, scattering the mobs, so check with them first, Divine Glow and or Astral Shield.

  Optional is to go with the AC Path Paragon Feats Righteous DPS build; you will losing BoTS and Terrifying Insight and that takes away from the maximum Damage DPS output, The AC path is/are more tanky and can help the party/team be more tanky, so it's up to you.

  ...slot the red gems (dark enchantments) in offense slots. Also, rings, belts, necklaces, some weapons. It's more difficult than with other classes, but well possible.

  If it doesn't get easier with Mod6 gear (idk anything about new gear) you can save up for an Ioun Stone and give it equipment with armor pen stats and slot that equipment with even more dark enchantments. If you have enough you can then just add power gear to the Ioun Stone (or lifesteal if you're missing that too).
