Ranged Cleric for WLD
« on: April 10, 2011, 04:16:55 PM »
 I am having a little trouble pulling it together. I realize Zen archery is a must, and I am just trying to make the character as SAD as possible
to insure party survival.

Talk to JaronK about this. He's got a build you can use to sit outside of the WLD and shoot things inside using a dominated rat or something.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

Rofl, my DM would beat me to death with a table. I am not looking to break the campaign I am just looking to Primary Range/ Secondary Heal.

Well, a crusader/bloodstorm blade would be excellent for this.

The only problem is you'll be mostly spec'd for melee at first, though you can still use ranged weaponry as you like.

Maybe an incarnate/crusader/bloodstorm blade build? Chaotic incarnates are teh hax with ranged weapons, and have soulmelds to assist with your crusader healing.

ToB Is Banned because apparently it rapes the dungeon.

Anything tier 3 or above rapes it just as well.

To be fair, WLD is premised on 10-20 encounters/day with few chances for rest, and lots of interrupted/hostile/dangerous resting. That is problematic for some of the Tier 1's, some of the time, especially in the lower level areas.

It's also premised on cutting exp rewards by 1/5th or 1/10th so you don't over-level your first area and steam through it.

It makes a lot of stupid assumptions, like the fact that it's impossible to wedge a door shut for some inexplicable reason, or that you can't use druids or wizards effectively.

And all those encounters screw BSFs more than anyone, so you need infinite healing from an early level just to survive.

...assuming you're too dumb to live and can't figure out how to hole yourself up in an empty room.

You could try a factotum/chameleon with a dip in dragon shaman for healing auras. The first few levels would be rough, but after that healing should be easy enough.
