If you have to pick where to put your ability scores, put them where it matters most for the role you want to play in dungeons.īest races for a Devout Cleric : Dragonborn (premium), Metallic Ancestry Dragonborn (premium), Wood Elf, Human, Menzoberranzan Renegade (premium), Drow, Dwarf, Half-Orc, Half-Elf.īest races for an Arbiter Cleric : Metallic Ancestry Dragonborn (premium), Dragonborn (premium), Tiefling, Half-Orc, Gith (premium), Sun Elf, Moon Elf (premium) Wood Elf, Human, Half-Elf. The most important bonuses for Arbiter Clerics are Bonus Damage, Intelligence and Dexterity (again, in that order). The most important bonuses for Devout Clerics are Wisdom, Critical Strike and Dexterity (in that order). And there are premium races, which have to be unlocked if you want to play them (most of them can be bought with real money, some of them with ingame money, not all of them are always available). You can play both Devout and Arbiter with the same character : you get 2 loadouts at level 30 (you can buy more in the Zen Market), and that’s when you choose your paragon (Devout/Arbiter).
There are races which give better bonuses for Devout Clerics (healers) and races which give better bonuses to Arbiter Clerics (damage dealers).
There are ways to change the race or appearance of your character, but you won’t get them often, at least not for free (you can pay ingame money to get them though).Īny race is good enough. You will play with this character for many hours, maybe hundreds, even thousands, if you really like the game. Keep in mind that race bonuses are very small and that the most important thing to consider when creating your character is how good it looks to you. If you like this guide, send me something in the mailbox, or just say hi on reddit. If you have any complaint, different opinions, spot a mistake, think something is not explained properly, or I’m missing something… feel free to speak ! That would be greatly appreciated ! Of course, this is only my point of view about the Cleric, nothing is set in stone, and you may find things that work better for you. I am trying to be as exhaustive as possible and maybe it could also help people playing other classes (at least for leveling, common tips…). With this guide, I will try to show you the different facets of the Cleric.
Just unlocked Zariel, and looking forward to beating this trial ! I completed ToMM on the 7th of July (mod 18) after 3 weeks of intense training with my guild (thanks to Zedd, Richma, and Tuffic, who were always there to help). Though item level doesn’t mean much nowadays (I could have 600 more item level through artifacts, and usually play with 1k less item level because I use the Apocalypse set which is low item level but is more beneficial to the group in random queues). I reached 25k item level on the 28th of October (mod 17), 26k on the 11th of March 2020 (mod 18), and 27k on the 10th of August (mod 19). I beat LoMM for the first time on the 26 of June (less than 24H after it was available) and was 22k item level at the time (mod 16). After playing at a steady pace, I have completed all the campaigns, and reached 16k item level, by the 18th of March 2019 (mod 15). I’ve been playing since the 4th of September 2018 (mod 14).
Hi ! I am Astrielle Devout Cleric, playing on PS4, in the Dominion of Lost Souls guild.
