Fighter Cleric vs. Ranger Cleric

Post by hwttdz »

Which is better? Just looking for opinions and maybe ideas about which level to dual them. I don't think that a half-elf ranger/cleric multi is a viable option but go ahead and disagree with me.

Ranger/Cleric.
Soooo much better than Fighter/Cleric... Ironskins makes all the difference!

If you have only SoA:
Dual at level 9 if you want to be a spell casting cleric, with druid spells.
Dual at level 13 if you want to be a front-liner cleric, with druid spells.

If you have ToB, the Ranger/Cleric multi will beat them both.
I cannot be caged.
I cannot be controlled.
(I probably cannot be contained either) :p ;)

ever pathetic, ever fools.

I thought that Rangers couldn't duel class??? I was so certain that rangers couldn't duel class
Remember, being Evil in Baldur's Gate 2 is VERY fun...

Vanilla rangers and beastmasters can dual only to cleric (in actual 2nd ed. PnP rangers can dual only to cleric but they do not get to cast druid spells above 3rd level like in BGII, as an Infinity Engine fault). Archers and stalkers, with ToB installed, cannot dual at all.

Well 10 to 2 voting wise the rangers are up. I guess that settles it. Now the question is at which level should one dual. My ideas would be at second so you loose no experience to the ranger class and then again at 7 because I think you get an extra piece of an attack there. That would be at the very beginning of SoA in all likelyhood. Any other magic numbers?

I think that ranger/clerics are cool 'cause the druidspells makes so much different. You get the ultimate "Divine" spell caster. Even one whom can fight :eek:

And you all know that: Druids really rock, they're SO cool :D

+1 to hit and damage versus, oh, Iron Skins, Insect Plague and Nature's Beauty? Let me think...

Dont be so quick to discount the fighter cleric

Consider he can take a kit (Bezerker) and then have a few very nice extras with engrage and a small advantage with grand mastery

As opposed to the only viable kit for an Rc, being the beastmaster which is worse than a vanilla ranger

For me, all would way apon weather I had the grand mastery fix or not

If I had it and wanted a better mellee fighter, Id go the Bezerker/Cleric,

Without it though, there is no discussion as to whom is better.. Rc all the way
-->Instert cool sig here<--
