Stars of the Circle Light Cleric

RESPEC BUILD

Can’t be arsed with respec? Then just follow the planner for the end result: 10 Light Domain Cleric / 2 Stars Druid.
Abilities are the same. Subclasses used are also the same.
Spells will differ on where you are in the game and level ofcourse but are mostly the same.
Do not pick Guidance as a cantrip, you will get it with Circle of The Stars automatically.
Light Domain Cleric’s Deity is not that important since it’s for dialogue options only anyway.

Optimal Race: Elf

Why?: Fey Ancestry, you can’t be put to sleep by your own Glyph of Warding when you apply “Sleep” when surrounded.

Abilities:

Why are you wasting a feat on Eldritch Blast? You already have far better ranged spells and Luminous arrow as a ranged BA. Eldritch blast at level 8 is only doing a couple 1D8s and you wont have agonizing blast so why not just fire off sacred flame once your guiding bolts run out? 8th level feat would be far better on CON or WIS. Also you should have the callous glow ring over spiteful thunder. You only have one thunder spell and its very situational while the callous glow gives 2 radiant damage on every attack and synergizes with coruscation ring.

I use this build (minus the warlock level) for Shadowheart on pretty much every playthrough and by the time Spirit Guardians comes online she’s a killer. Highly recommend. I had no idea about the Spell Sniper changing the spell casting modifier on the cantrip, that would definitely spice up this build, especially doing radiating orbs on 3 separate Eldritch Blasts in 1 go.
