Anti-Dead Cleric
This is one of those ill-fated Holy Bolt paladins that
just happened to work. If it sounds like it sucks, just
start playing with him in Sewers, Pindle, or Chaos Sanc.
Stats:
Str: 105, rest from gear
Dex: Enough for Block, 125 should be enough
Vit: Rest
As you all should know, Holy Bolt is the cheapest spell
around for having a shifting cost. At slvl 38, it's
a measly 4.3 mana per cast. No mana needed here.
Equipment:
Helm: Harlequin Crest or other +2 skills helm
Armor: Enigma or CoH, Vipermagi if you're cheap
Weapon: HotO, or +4 HB Redeemer
Shield: HoZ w/ Pdia or Um, so subs
Gloves: Magefist or Trang
Boots: Very flexible, I use Nat's
Belt: Arachnid
Rings: SOJ x 2 or BulKathos. +skills are paramount.
Ammy: +3 combat skills or Seraph Hymn
Keep in mind that this is still a healer at heart.
If you want more undead slaying, replace the defensive
auras with points in Sanctuary.
Skills:
Max Holy Bolt
Max Blessed Hammer
Max Fist of Heavens
1 point Meditation
10-20 Prayer
1-20 Vigor (explain in a sec)
So, since this is a party based character in many respects,
the thing that really sucks is trying to quest him.
This is where the Vigor comes in. Maxing Vigor for Hammer
synergy is a good idea in general because it allows
you to solo many areas where you need to kill non-undead
enemies, including all of the act bosses. At slvl 38
w/ 13 points in Vigor, my hammer does 1235-1246 damage.
At the same time, I have a prayer merc (yup, I'm a dork)
with Doom staving off guys while I hammer, then switch
to heal him for 187-385 per Bolt. Each Holy Bolt does
roughly 9k-10k damage to undead, ignoring resists/immunities.
Numbers to shoot for:
1.2k life
400+ mana (allows you to switch off of Meditation when
you want)
Max block
+18 or more combat skills
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's all play the way Blizzard intended: Without cheats,
twinking, turbo, and leeching.
Maybe you'd all stop complaining.
