Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understood it, you can learn any Spell you have a Spellslot for aka "any Spell you can cast". As the Multiclass-Tablot for that is pretty clear, you do not really miss out anything in terms of "High Level Spells", because as Divination Wizzard(2)/Tepest Cleric(3) you can cast/get Level 3-Spells. The only thing that "slows down Progression" is in the Abilitys - which are often not so important than the ones you gain. And, I know, too much Multiclassing, Abserd Chars, etc. This is just for the Numbers Crunch. So.... *inhales deeply and theatralicly overdramatic* ...seriously, 2 D20 prerolled for free distribution (even for Rolls done by the Enemy in LoS) are saying "Take me now and here!" more directly than any Fanfiction-Lolita could - and also access to Wizzard Spells which you can learn as you like and choose Intmod+2 from - so at least 3. This literally allows you eventually an "Auto Sucess" on Spells that have to roll to hit or that allow saving throws - and that forces the Legendarys out of them as fuck. Also, and this is a huge backbone to my Multiclass-Caster-Builds, as you take the Class you want the higher Spell from at the Time you could get it, In our former Case I would start off as Cleric for Guiding Bolt along some Heal, then Wizzard as there is nothing so great for second Level Cleric to take as well what we do not already have - because our Spellslots grow for both. Now - even when you skill only Sorcerer/Druid in eaqual Turns you get acess to the higher Cleric Spells as well automatically and can learn any spell you could cast for Wizzard - even the 9th Level Spells (although, a 9th-Level-Spellscroll is quite.....expensive.....). On the other Hand, if you choose to take Wizzard on the 17th Level onwards, you can pick the "new Spells" all from the 9th-Level if you like. At least, if I am right about this and "There is nothing in the Rules against it". So, have fun backstabbing with a Siege Weapon.

@@Rabijeel you want to reread the spell casting multi-class rules and not just look at the chart. In you example Divination Wizzard(2)/Tepest Cleric(3) you can prepare you wizard spells as a 2nd level wizard and your cleric spells as a 3rd level cleric. So you do still have 3rd level spell slots but can only use those for up-casting the spells you know. Here is the relevant part of the multi=class spell casting rules. Spells Known and Prepared. You determine what spells you know and can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a ranger 4/wizard 3, for example, you know three 1st-level ranger spells based on your levels in the ranger class. As 3rd-level wizard, you know three wizard cantrips, and your spellbook contains ten wizard spells, two of which (the two you gained when you reached 3rd level as a wizard) can be 2nd-level spells. If your Intelligence is 16, you can prepare six wizard spells from your spellbook. Each spell you know and prepare is associated with one of your classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when you cast the spell. Similarly, a spellcasting focus, such as a holy symbol, can be used only for the spells from the class associated with that focus.kzread.info/dash/bejne/mI6EuaV-lbrXj7g.html

As a non religious Cleric, I like the idea of those who draw their power from the world around them. Similar to druid of course, but you could be a Cleric who gets power from a concept rather than a being. Death Clerics drawing their power from Death and Life, Light Drawing from the Sun itself, Nature drawing from Nature around them. I also don't like the idea of serving a God who is controlled by the DM, so I'd personally make my diety either a concept or some sort of power, or just make then mysterious and unknown enough that while you gain power from them, they don't talk or really interact with you dont order you around or anything. My best example of this is the books by Brandon Sanderson. They all link up together, being an overarching story of a group that killed a God, and split its power into 12 shards. They then went off to other worlds where many were worshiped as the gods of those worlds, yet there are still those that instead worship a God of the Beyond, unknown and not built upon but believed the be the shadow of the original being that was killed and split. Let's you do your own think and not be ordered around while still enjoying a cleric

You honestly probably just make 4 cheesegrater characters right, 4 cleric druids with thorn whip and telekinesis, if everyone has spirits up and you can push an enemy out and pull them back in they are taking the spirit damage 8 times per round and 4 times during the start of their round.

I think on burst damage builds, particularly aoe focussed ones like this one, you should have a bit of a focus somewhere in the build on initiative. When playing an aoe focussed build, going first can mean more damage because you can hit more enemies before they move around, stopping them spreading out or getting in close with allies you don't want to hit. Because of that considering harengon as a race or taking the alert feat somewhere should be a consideration going forward I think.

Aasimar build - I am there. “The baddie. The baddie The Baddie s on fire 🔥 We don’t need no water …. Let the BBEG BURN. Burn BBEG ….burn”

Easily my favourite character subclass. Great to have a level 1 survival ability. Best level 2 aoe in the game by a long way and it saves you spell slots when you have so few of them especially if your party uses short rests. Fireball and spirit guardians at level 5. 2nd use of Radiance of the Dawn per short rest at level 6. Since most games I have played don’t last into high levels, Light Cleric is fantastic during my most played levels. Also it only needs good wisdom and constitution and 14 dexterity, and those are the best abilities for most saving throws needed. It also isn’t feat hungry resilient constitution, Warcaster and either straight wisdom or wisdom half feats of telekinetic and fey touched.

It's funn how in 5e the best blaster is the cleric, the best archer is a human with a toy crossbow, and the wizard usually has the best AC in the party

My party has a light cleric as a primary blaster. He went Kobold so he could take Firebolt as a cantrip and benefit from elemental adept a little more. It seems to work really well.

Light cleric absolutely whips. A really fun subclass to play.

I was in an AL epic where one of the players used divine intervention to help solve a mystery, he succeeded and the DM used it to turn our partial success into failure because of the wording of the request. So I understand your concern about the lack of specificity and variable results of Divine Intervention.

My Boi is crushing this

Dawwwww when the exit commentary is sweeter than the intro commentary 🥹. Love the build! I’d think fire spirit druid would be a really neat option with light cleric. Can’t wait to see you play it!

This is probably my my favourite build yet. I've avoided Light cleric mainly because I thought it got a bad rap compared to tempest cleric. No heave armor no martial weapon and a change divinity that scales poorly and uses an action. But this is amazing it makes up for all of that it's an amazing versatile Blaster and unlike a blaster wizard you don't die if someone sneezes in your Direction. One of the best part is that the race is asthma. It's so difficult not to pick variant human or custom lineage because that free feat is just so versatile but Aasimar is just such a great choice for this because it's brilliantly thematic and has fantastic synergy. Definitely roling this in my next game.

I'm told that on the rare occasions when a 40x20 column of damage actually lets you draw a straight line through enemies at multiple elevations without cooking your party's bladesinger in the process, Flame Strike will definitely make you feel pretty okay about yourself.

I love watching your videos.~ Though I have to make sure that I’m not too tired, or I’ll fall asleep to your relaxing voice and miss all of the important and interesting information.

Without going too heavily in the math here (and please, correct me if I am wrong! I don't intend this as a flex, just maybe a different understanding :D), I believe the !AVERAGE! damage gain of Elemental Adept (Fire) letting you change 1's into 2's effectively changes the possible damage range of a 3rd level Fireball from 8-48 to 16-48, thus increasing the average damage from 28 to 32. While it is niche and admittedly minimal, doubling the damage floor will definitely average out to be more than just a 1 damage on average increase as per the video. It needs a buff for sure, but I think the 1's to 2's aspect of Elemental Adept is unfairly hated on by the community, as it is essentially a super version of the age old "2d6 is always better than 1d12, so always pick greatsword/maul over greataxe" optimization aspect. Great video, as always, and I look forward to whatever your future ideas are. Hopefully my understanding of the information makes this build even MORE appealing to anyone interested in trying it at their tables!

Channels like this give me hope for nerdkind. Colby is so god damn wholesome I love this channel.

It's so fun watching your videos. I get so inspired. I like that you're dipping into light and shadow magic ✨️ Been curious about mixing a Light Domain Cleric with the Circle of Wildfire Druid. Seems like an amazing class combo! Maybe you have a good way to maximize that combination 😉

Love this build. I liked your idea on adding wizard to this for sculpt spell so much I started with a 12 in INT, then took at lvl 12 cleric Fey Touched INT and got me some Misty Step and Gift of Alacrity. I like wearing Heavy armor as well so I started with 14 Str, and kept Chain mail until I could bump STR. to 15. Thanks as always Colby this channel is awesome!

Awesome build!! Didn't expect a light cleric to be able to do this much aoe burst damage (hooray for action surge!) Cleric is so useful I am surprised you didn't mention killer spells like Silence that can completely and utterly shut down otherwise very dangerous spellcasters And the utility of having the ability to resurrect, to literally make food, and so much more Having access to your entire spell list is such a huge thing for clerics too

Hiya Coby, I just put this post onto the Reddit but thought I'd upload it here as well since I think you'd love the build (and name!): HIMARS ----------------------------> High(Elf) Mobility Artillery Rocket System: Ranger Hunter 11 / Fighter Samurai 3 I saw the Pack Tactics video on the Ranger Hunter and decided to have a proper look at the subclass. I feel like Volley is actually broken if used right - it costs no resources, and being able to exchange the 2/3 attacks Hunters has for no cost is very cheap, allowing one to hit anywhere from 4-16 (very huddled) enemies. As you can see, I've been making notes for some hours, and can't find anything better than this. Please let me know if there's anything I'm missing/overlooked. The best I can think of is: - Elf (not sure which type) for +2 DEX, +1 WIS - 3 levels Fighter, Archery Fighting Style and Samurai subclass for Fighting Spirit - X levels Ranger, Close Quarters Shooter Fighting Style - Sharpshooter at lvl 7 - Elven Accuracy at lvl 11 - Pick up 3rd lvl spell Flame Arrows at lvl 12 - FINALLY get Volley at lvl 14 At level 14 (3 Fighter, 11 Ranger) you would be able to shoot 2 volleys with advantage on every shot in one turn. Each shot would have "double" advantage, +4 to hit, and deal 1d8+1d6+14 (average 22 dmg) to every enemy, with an insanely high chance to hit. Let's assume your DM is nice enough to let you earn a +2 longbow by lvl 14. That's +6 to hit, double adv, and 24 dmg. Using Action Surge, you could do this twice in the first round, hitting up to 16 enemies for 48 dmg on your first turn of combat, only using 1 of 3 Fighting Spirits (and a whole bunch of arrows). This could be - hypothetically, in a world where you have every bad guy put in a giant bucket - 768 dmg on one turn, all for very little cost. You can then do the same Volley with "double" advantage for two more turns, adding on another possible Volley for 384 dmg on each round. It's insane to even talk about these numbers because it will literally never happen, but how much damage would we do to, say, 5 people in a 20ft diameter circle? That sounds much more reasonable. 24 x 5 = 120 dmg per Volley. 120 x 2 = 240 dmg for first turn. Followed by 120 dmg for the next two turns if they don't or cannot move. (Rangers can cast Spike Growth / Plant Growth, so use them! Or, have a chat about tactics with your local Mage!) That's a total of 480 dmg (96 dmg each) to 5 unlucky suckers in 3 turns... Pentakill? All of this is without upcasting Flame Arrows (god forbid). And, all of this can be done from 600ft thanks to Sharpshooter. Furthermore, if you got either the Dragon Wing Bow or Dragon Wrath Weapon, then it just gets really stupid really quick. I would love to see the maths for this but I am way too tired and need to go read a book because my eyes are starting to hurt. Thank you for listening, Your Local Min/Maxer P.S, I know Spike Growth is concentration. Drop the Flame Arrows depending on the situation as it is very beneficial to keep them together and SG might well do a lot more damage. P.P.S, If you did this up to lvl 17 I would reccommend Assassin Rogue for the last few levels just to get that disgusting critical hit, which works for every attack roll in the first Volley. (Yes, Sneak Attack would only work with the first target of Volley, but getting crits on each of these attacks would be nuts anyway.)

Thank you for another great video can't wait until next week

Sounds Tormish. Love this!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

My favorite burst damage cleric is the Tempest Domain Cleric. Level 4 take the Metamagic Adept feat so at level 6 you can quicken Call Lightning, then use your action to continue the spell. At level 9 you would be a 7th level Cleric and 2nd level fighter. Quicken Call Lightning, then use Action Surge to continue the spell effect 2 more times. Using a 4th level spell slot and the channel divinity to do max damage on one roll, you would deal 8d10 + 40 damage in a 15 by 15 foot square. You can probably hit 2, maybe even 3 enemies with all that damage.

...and I know that it's on your list, but : beast barbarian/soulknife rogue (8) for the algorithm!

I got to play this build last night for a level 15 one shot, and it was, pun intended, a blast. I did the variant you mentioned by swapping out the two fighter levels for evoker wizard, and it definitely came in clutch, when our party got swarmed by wave after wave of orc war chiefs. My character may have died to the end boss lich's power word kill, but playing an airborne healing detonation death dealing servant of helm was awesome.

I have always wanted to use the Scourge Aasimar. They sound so badass.

I played an Aasimar Life Cleric based on the Archangel Michael. In the final battle of Descent into Avernus, I used the Divine Intervention feature and asked Tyr to guide my hand and help me smite the fiend. I rolled low enough for my request to be granted. My DM gave me advantage on my next attack and a maxed out Paladin Smite. I do not remember how much damage I dealt but it was a LOT.

Glad to be a bit more part of the d4-network family. Keep going on with those very, v-e-r-y detailed charcter builds! Spot on! BTW: I am a Belgian, born and raised in the City of Bruges? I can tell you that "De Stoove" is still active! ;)

Awesome, thank you!

If you could find a way to get concentration free advantage this char could put out some serious single target burst with spirit shroud, scorching ray, and action surge. Of course all in addition to being a horde slayer of epic proportions

Love your videos! Please consider a revisit to the Barbearian build - suggestion, 3 Barbearian / X Cavalier fighter, shifter, hammer/shield and dueling style.

Count thou not to two; neither count thou four. Five is right out.

The light clerics divine feature is really nice at those low levels when monsters rarely have a super con save and when other AoE is lacking. 2d10 is decent DMG when you first get it and I agree that while single target damage can be better, generally speaking it can also be an advantage to do 20 DMG to 3 enemies rather than doing 40 DMG to one. Especially when you got other single damage specialists. Had a glorious moment of swooshing away around 10 goblins with a fireball, something that otherwise would have posed a bit of a problem on a group with single target attackers ^^

I love your content! I’ve been thinking of a build that has a Echo knight fighter and warlock for multidirectional forced movement from all of the places the echo can be. I would love to see something like that on a build!

Hey! I'm 15 and I absoultly love your videos man they are awesome! Kepp up the great work

That thumbnail is the definition of "oh shi-" *dies*

Love the videos Colby, keep up the good work! Ever think about a swashbuckler rogue/blades singer wizard combo? Seems like it could be an interesting mix.

The bit with the daughter made me wish I could subscribe twice!

Great build! What about an acid focused build with the elemental adept feat? The fact that they typically use d4s so the 1s to 2s add a little bit more per roll and almost is actually measurable.

I built a similar character to this. Instead of starting Fighter, I started Phoenix sorcerer (ua). It's Mantle of flame specifies all damage rolls, so it made scorching Ray edge out Fireball against a single target. Once the Mantle of flame ended, I'd do pretty much exactly what you do here. Of note, with this I could've used old aisamar to get celestial revelation and Mantle of flame up in a single turn.

Thank you for this build! I have been playing a Half-Elf Light Cleric for about 3 months now (just got to lvl. 5). I'm always thinking if I should multi-class, and if so, with what. I did benefit w/ a free Feat at lvl. 1, so I took Elven Accuracy. Thought it would pair nicely w/ Faerie Fire. With this video, I'm really wanting to do a 2 lvl dip into Fighter. Plus, I have a better feel on how to "maximize" my damage, if needed. : )
