Warrior Of Light - HM Solo Build (lvl progression/split) Advice
Hey folks,
I'm creating a new character for a solo run, honor mode ruleset but probably not permadeath with this build.
The vision is nothing new, essentially holy warrior: Spirit Guardians + Reverb + Bonking things
The reason I fancy this over standard light cleric for solo is single target burst. The standard reverb light cleric/stars druid build is great fun and can solo farm normal encounters, but without extra attack/big single target damage it struggles into bosses if solo.
My end vision for the build fits perfectly with 6 Vengeance Paladin 6 Lore Bard: with Spirit Guardians at 6 from lore bard with some nice casting, smites and extra attack from Paladin along with all the other stuff.
However that is horrible from a progression point of view for this character. You either have to play full caster until ~7 for smites and 11 for extra attack...which doesn't really fit with what I want to play. Or you play just Paladin with some extra spells until level 12....
The obvious alternative is then a Light Cleric multiclass, which also has a bunch of nice things for a solo playthrough. I was thinking:
5 Cleric (light domain features; spirit guardians; medium armour etc) + 5 Paladin + 2 Stars druid.
Presumably someone has done something similar before, but is there a better setup for this archetype than the 552 split there?
Thanks!
