So, i decided to reincarnate my Demi cleric (again!) this time to a BUR subrace for more Ooomph, having aquired two Anarch books... i'll worry about HC when i get one
Previous build moved the post below this one.
The focus of this build is offense offense offense via the usual cleric bread and butter spell *Implode* with an extra kick thanks to LSF Necromancy for Energy Drain (giving a potential +3 to your DC and spell penetration and allowing you to get an extra -1 to enemy saves with Battletide), Heartbane (another Instakill spell, woo!), Enervation thanks to Evil Domain and a decent DC with Destruction.
PLUS nice AC (over 130) and soak from Gate with LSF Divination.
On the downside there's no IoF, Girding, or Aegis.
Here's my rationale (besides lack of space in the build): GMW can be covered by mages and pariahs up to +15 which should beat most mob soak (and there's a few battle clerics / warchanters with IoF too) Enchantment is a pretty pointless school for a cleric beyond the +13 GMW and AC boost and i decided that since I don't need the AC and plenty of builds can get mid 130s AC without it, it's a waste of feats. As for Aegis, I really would have liked to fit this in the build for Banishment, but Necro simply is far more sexy for Energy Drain, Heartbane, Enervation and higher DC Destructions and there's no way i'm dropping any of the other feats in the build, so...
Recommended domains: Evil (Enervation) and Fire (Energy Buffer / Wall of fire)
All ability score increases through levels go to wisdom. Final wisdom with artifact is 68 (72 with double demi)
