Cleric and wiz/sorc build

[mcgib]

I'm horrible making a useful build so I'm here asking for help. I've been curious about a cleric and wiz/sorc build since I saw in a post someone mentioned having a cleric cast darkfire on a weapon that already has flame weapon cast on it because they stack. I've looked and havent seen a build that uses this combo. Anyone have any ideas about a build along these lines or know of one already posted?

No build uses this combo because mixed caster builds just don't hack it on HG. The person was no doubt using two different characters to buff the weapon.

Flame Weapon and Darkfire have added damage and duration based on class level and Gmw scales with caster levels too- so if you went 20 Cleric 20 Wiz (or sorc) you'd have a much weaker and shorter lasting set of buffs for both classes.
Here's the specifics from: highergroundpoa.proboards3.com/index.cgi?board=info&action=display&n=1&thread=6670

Greater Magic Weapon:
raised bonus scale cap to max of +10, at 30; this spell can't be cast on players more than 6 levels below the caster's level, and disappears when the weapon is transferred; it still works normally on summons; the bonus and max bonus increase by 1 for each focus (regular, greater, epic, legendary) in enchantment, to a maximum of +14

(i.e. you need 30 levels of one caster class to get the basic +10 gmw before enchantment spell focus increases)

Flame Weapon:
damage scaled to 1 point of fire damage per 2 casterlevels +1d4, up to 20 +1d4 at casterlevel 40; this spell can't be cast on players more than 6 levels below the caster's level, and disappears when the weapon is transferred; it still works normally on summons
NOTE: The properties created on the weapon will look a little strange, because some changes had to be made to allow all onhit damage effects to work together. The weapon effected will always say it has a level 1 flame weapon and 1 point of fire damage added, but the actual effects are as described above.

Darkfire:
damage uncapped to 1d6 +1 per every 2 casterlevels, up to 20 +1d6 at casterlevel 40; this spell can't be cast on players more than 6 levels below the caster's level, and disappears when the weapon is transferred; it still works normally on summons
NOTE: The properties created on the weapon will look a little strange, because some changes had to be made to allow all onhit damage effects to work together. The weapon effected will always say it has a level 1 flame weapon and 1 point of electrical damage added, but the actual effects are as described above.

Not to mention the fact that you'd have to juggle extra stats for the extra caster class.
You'd be looking at putting lots of points into STR(or DEX if you go finesse and wear robes) CON, WIS & INT if you went Cleric/Wiz (replace INT with CHA if you went sorc).
That itself doesn't help a build like this do well.

Staffmasters get the Way Of The Staff item which lets them add one of a range of different damage types to their attack on top of what's included in their weapon and it stacks with their flame weapon..
highergroundpoa.proboards3.com/index.cgi?board=info&action=display&n=1&thread=6677

Staffmasters get a special, extended version of the Blackstaff spell. The spell duration is in hours instead of rounds. Instead of a dispel magic effect, the staffmaster gets access to bonus damage equal to 1d6 +1/weaponmaster level, to a maximum of 45 + 1d6. Legendary levels are counted as weaponmaster levels if the character's control class is weaponmaster.

Initially, the damage added is fire damage. As the character gains Weaponmaster levels, additional damage types become available:
4 WM levels: Cold
8 WM levels: Electrical
12 WM levels: Acid
16 WM levels: Sonic
20 WM levels: Magical
25 WM levels: Positive and Negative

The Staffmaster may select any available damage type as the type to be added by the blackstaff spell, by using the Way of the Staff item (gained when they meet the quasiclass' requirements) prior to casting the spell. The damage type may also be changed between castings, by using the Way of the Staff again.

Blackguards get Death's Kiss - so presumably Bane Knights have that too (on top of their sorcerer flame weapon).

Death's Kiss:

At Blackguard level 11 and up, Death's Kiss replaces the Blackguard ability Inflict Serious Wounds. When used, Death's Kiss imbues the blackguard's weapon with a terrible chilling aura. It does cold damage equal to 1 pt damage per 2 blackguard levels + 1d4 (max of 25 + 1d4). Legendary levels are counted as blackguard levels for purposes of damage and duration if the character's control class is blackguard. Duration is 1 turn per blackguard level, or 50 turns maximum. NOTE: The properties created on the weapon will look a little strange, because some changes had to be made to allow all onhit damage effects to work together. The weapon effected will always say it has a level 1 flame weapon and 1 point of cold damage added, but the actual effects are as described above.

So if you want to be a self buffing character with two lots of added weapon damage and your very own decent GMW, I'd recommend either Staffmaster or Bane Knight. Have a read of the Character Build Discussion forum for the various builds for both Quasiclasses.
