Maximised Spell slots build?

Post by miesny_jez » Mon Jul 24, 2017 6:39 pm

What built would be the most effective if I would want to have maximised amount of spell slots?

I was initially thinking about HealerCleric15/Sorcerer15 though I am curious what would be Your sugestion regarding feat choices to make such build effective... well playable.

PvE focus don't care about PvP.

Wild mage sun elf with 42 int. Use -surge to effectively get more spell slots.

Combining cleric and mage is *probably* a bad idea.

You're right. Participating in the forums was a mistake. Won't do this again.

If all you care about is a huge number of spell slots, cleric/druid? You aren't splitting your caster stat that way, at least.

Hmm I didn't consider Cleric/Druid.. but I guess that would be it!

But how to make it be viable in a 15/15 spread?

Zen Archery/ Divine Might build with abuse of Divine Power and spontaneous summons on GSF boost?

Would be of course a dispel bait, max of lvl 8 circle spells, no dicipline, no UMD .. hmm no lvl9 spells too so no ESF (this probably would be too much).

If you do 15/15 then you get up to level 8 spells with both, but don't get level 9 spells with either. I'd probably sooner go 17/13 if you're serious about it, so you get up to level 7 spells with both, and you get level 8 and 9 spells with whichever one you want to favor more.

It won't be particularly good, but it is a way to maximize for the single thing you asked to maximize :P

Can anyone confirm if Paragon levels earn you spell slots from increased caster level, or do they only increase caster level? If both, possible to get 9th level arcane or divine spells and 7th level of whichever one you don't make your primary focus. (In my example, 16orc/9Cleric/5Paragon - go charisma heavy for grace/might/shield perks on top of heavy armor and tower shield, +auto still II and maximize).

Granting higher level spell slots would be a big deal and would be mentioned in the update notes if it were the case. See the pale master article on the Arelith wiki for an example.

If you go 15 sorc 5 paragon you should have spell selection of a lvl 15 sorc with the amount of spell slots of lvl 20 sorc, but if you have 20 or more sorc lvls, you've already reached the cap of the base spell slots you get before bonuses from gear/stat so at that point any paragon lvls will only give you caster lvl.
