Lyra of the Enchanted Sea, Dexbased Battle Cleric
35 Cleric, 4 Paladin 1 Monk

Since the huge damage nerf, Divine might is not longer unresistible damage, and IMHO no longer a must have for a battle cleric. I like dexers for the high AC, here is a dexer battle cleric. Please note the fine AB. Leveled this toon to l40. Comments, improvements are welcome.

few points of criticism:

looks like a huge xp penalty =\

I would definitely not underestimate the difference in damage output you get through Divine Might. (with high enough charisma, you will deal damage comparable to a STR tank...)

why girding and not IoF? should already have pretty decent AC being a dexer with nice wisdom and full tumble and last time I checked, IoF was probably one of the most damaging tricks in HG.

[desocupado]

From doing a similar build I must say that Girding advantage is getting both AC and AB bonus (due to GMM).

What about this build's AC? Couldn't one squeeze IoF?

Without strength and Spell Penetration, Can you use Harm?

Wouldn't Creeping Doom be more useful with CL 55 than a small conceal buff? Besides earthquake, which spells are good?
