Ranger/Cleric, is that any good?

Zuvio · 10-28-2002, 04:32 PM

A ranger/cleric is a good combination, isnt it? Good fighter with healing skills. What should be the dominating class?

toriuxik · 10-28-2002, 05:05 PM

It WAS great in the past... I'm not sure how necessary it is now. I'm contemplating a cleric/druid, which will have a VERY strong emphasis on druid, since the cleric is for the healing and Animate Dead.

well, i already had the ranger, i had to choose between a rogue and cleric, figured i take the cleric for a roleplaying perspective. now i dont have to wait two weeks for my party to rest & heal :grin:

Well, this is not very good since the spells books are separate. Keeping play as a ranger or becoming a rogue will be my choice.

toriuxik · 10-29-2002, 12:05 PM

lol, thats the idea you know, to have a bigger variety of spells. lol your not too quick on the pick up, are you?

Luvian · 10-29-2002, 05:26 PM

Ranger cleric is as good a mix as a Fighter Cleric, wich is very good.

toriuxik · 10-29-2002, 06:38 PM

See, the idea is good.

lol

I personally became really ticked off with my Figher-Cleric after a few level-ups. She was always
1) Getting beaten senseless somehow
2) Being totally worthless in HTH fighting
3) Being totally worthless as a spellcaster

Is there someway to improve their usefulness?

Fighter/cleric is not what I want in iwd2.
A pure cleric class will be fine, because you can have a party in this game, not only one person like nwn, so you may use the cleric's spell to boost your tanks any time you like.

I am not saying that fighter/cleric is no good. It is a nice combination. Getting 4 levels or more of fighter to be a weapon specialist and get more hp really helps in hth combat. This character may be a later bloom. He/she won't be so efficient in the beginning.

Well, I confess that 20 levels as a cleric is quite enough since a ring there can add 5 wisdom which really gives a lot more devine spells.

I want to see some one play through the game with a party consisting of: 6 Half Orc Cleric/Fighters... it would be a riot! make sure they got 20 strength after that just raise wisdom with your level up ability points... Animate Dead 36 times a day anyone? Healing would be easy, anyone not in the middle of the fight could cast heal... Just a crazy idea. [img]smile.gif[/img]
