To get started, choose Light Domain at level 1. Light Domain Clerics receive Warding Flare at level 1. This Reaction shields you with Divine Light, causing Disadvantage on your attacker possibly causing their attack to miss. This is key for our build which focuses on generating lots of Radiating Orbs which further decrease enemies chance to hit.
For your race, this build is perfect for any type of elf. Wood-elf would be ideal for the increased move speed but any elf is good because we want Fey Ancestry so that we cannot be magically put to sleep. This will come in handy later when we use Glyph of Warding: Sleep on top of ourselves when we’re surrounded by enemies to put them all to sleep without falling asleep to it ourselves. Shadowheart is a half-elf so she works perfectly for this build too.
However, keep in mind that the Fire Bolt granted from High Elf and High Half-Elf are from the Wizard spell list and its attack roll adds your Intelligence modifier, which will be low. When it comes to act 1, I highly recommend using Produce Flame instead of Fire Bolt because Produce Flame uses your spellcasting ability modifier - which is Wisdom - instead of Intelligence for its attack roll so it will hit much more often. Also, Produce Flame’s tooltip is actually incorrect in game on Clerics and it actually deals more damage than it says at level 5 and 10. However, against undead, if you’re going to use a cantrip, Sacred Flame is the way to go. There’s also a necklace called Necklace of Elemental Augmentation which adds your spellcasting ability modifier to the damage of your cantrip when it deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, so make sure to grab that when you’re in the Inquisitor’s Chamber in Creche Y’llek to make your produce flame even stronger.
Produce Flame can also be helpful in act 2 to provide your party a source of light against the shadow curse before you gain protection against it. Also, make sure to get Guidance as your third cantrip as this will be used very frequently in dialogue and when faced with ability checks. You can also use it preemptively when entering new areas to give yourself a bonus to nature, perception, and religion or history ability checks for example that can happen when you discover a new area.
For your spells you’ll want to choose Guiding Bolt, Command, Bless, and Inflict Wounds. Guiding Bolt grants advantage on the next attack roll against the target creature and deals 2d6 radiant damage. This is your ranged single target damage spell. Inflict Wounds is also great for single target, but requires melee range and deals 3d10 Necrotic Damage. Since Inflict Wounds is an attack roll and melee range, you can guarantee it’s a critical hit by using it on targets that are sleeping, or paralyzed from Hold Person. Bless is great for improving your team’s ability to land attacks and command is solid crowd control. You can also disarm enemies with Command: Drop Weapon.
At level 2 you’ll gain your first channel divinity charge. This can be used to Turn Undead, which causes Undead creatures to flee in a large area of effect. This will get much stronger at level 5 once we gain Destroy Undead.
We also gain Radiance of the Dawn, which uses a Channel Divinity Charge to deal 2d10 + character level radiance damage in a large area of effect. Radiant damage is a huge part of this build so this will be what we use on non-undead creatures for repeatable AOE radiant damage.

Thanks bro
for level 9, in the video he says Con +1 but if you see what he actually added to he meant to say Dex +1
Would be better to respec and start as a sorc since you would then have proficiency in con saves +war caster, which would make it damn near impossible for your concentration to be broken.
Why not 16 wis and 14 con? What is the point in 17 wis and 13 con?
@@vladimirvisokov4266 wisdom damage scaling likely
Nice build, I would personally go for the Reverberation route though by wearing the Gloves of Belligerent Skies, Boots of Stormy Clamour and Thunderskin Cloak. It means that anything that gets in your Spirit Guardians automatically get 4 turns of reverberation and so -4 to Str Dex and Con saving throws, and if they have 5 turns then they take 1d4 thunder damage AND fall prone if they don’t succeed a 10 DC con saving throw which will happen a lot with the -4 penalty. And on the off chance they do hit you with all the radiating orbs on them, they’ll get Dazed if they don’t succeed a Con saving throw cos of the cloak. Synergy all round
That is an awesome combination!
@@Toyhouze It is! That option is a lot more effective in my experience. Boots of speed are a waste of a slot, as your bonus action is used by fly anyway. with the gloves as well you set up your martial characters for advantage on pretty much every enemy, as they are all prone. prone also halves their movement as it takes half to stand up.
I'd swap out boots of stormy clamour for the boots of speed. bonus action dash and disadvantage on opportunity attacks. Take 1 level in sorcerer for con save prof. And shield so you can use your reaction to increase your ac by 5.
@@haiclips3358isnt the math behind disadvantage -5.5? Id wager having warding flare is better than shield but it is only for 1 hit. Not that it matters. 5+ radiant orbs mean they cant hit me anyways
its about 3.5. The more important thing is opportunity cost. Shield will last the entire turn, and you want to trigger as many AoO for the holy lance helm for even more stacks of radiant orb. You dont need disadvantage from warding flare, as that is alrready being granted by the boots of spped click heels bonus action. Which I also value more over boots of stormy clamour.@@dominikgose2609
The sleeping glyph element to this build is such a nice touch. Ive run a duo honour mode playthrough with Light Shadowheart and ive never enjoyed watching a build more than seeing how versatile and flashy this one is.
Alao, Gandrel's + Many Target arrows is GENIUS
I was so happy to see Sacred Munitions didn't require proficiency :D
I'm doing an honour mode run right now with a great weapon vengeance paladin and this light cleric build and that glyph of warding tip is going to make this so much easier
My first playthrough was as a light cleric and it was very fun basically placing myself in the middle of the battlefield with spirit guardians on, spamming mass healing word, warding flare and radiance of the dawn over and over.
My party: Tav sneaking in the shadows waiting to silently take down enemies, Gale standing on a cliff raining fireballs on the battlefield, Lae'zel psionic jumping directly into battle to throw her enemies at each other, Shadowheart taking a sunny stroll through the battlefield and restoring life with her touch.
Gloomstalker rogue, wizard and/or sorcerer, battle master fighter (possibly with mindflayer powers, otherwise the gith psionic gear), and life cleric? Am I close or am I way off the mark
wow how unique, no one has ever made a party like that
@@r0bz0rlyare u still as sour as u were 4 months ago
The Amulet of the Devout's +2 to spell save DC, when added to staves with +DC and a high spellcasting ability makes your DCs really high. I think that once you have this item you can comfortably give away the Hat of Fire Acuity to another party member.
Basically, any offensive caster with Scorching Ray can use it as an opener and then have unsavable control spells. The HoFA is also great on martials that deal fire damage (with either of the Helldusk gloves,) especially a control archer.
Words of caution on getting the Amulet: When you steal it and get the "castigated" curse, *do not* Short Rest or Long Rest. You can remove curse first to reduce the negative consequences, and then heal one party member at a time. Anyone present for the crime can get the curse, so sending your rogue in alone is best.
The curse summons a pair of extraplanars (usually high level Devas) to attack you, but what may not be obvious is that it summons a pair of them *for each cursed party member that gets healed.* So, if you take either rest you could get jumped by 2 x healed party member Devas. On Honor Mode, 8 angry Devas might be overwhelming if you are not prepared. Using Remove Curse on an afflicted party member will reduce the number of avenging extraplanar attackers to 1 instead of 2.
For best results, send your sneakthief character into the building alone, then cast remove curse on them, then heal them and you will just have to dispatch one angry Deva, which should be no problem.
This is so in depth and clear. I'm actually trying out your warlock and now cleric build. I hope we can get more builds like druid or fighter next. This is great! thank you!!
Thanks for leaning heavily in BG3. I quit wow to play this and I’m never looking back.
I got suspended from WoW for buying gold, so I finally took a dive into BG3 with the off time. I don’t think I want to go back!
I was just planning on doing something similar in my next playthrough so i'm glad to hear it's actually good in practice lol
Perfect, thanks! Burning with fire to try!
Simply the thought of Shadowheart successfully hitting anything is a delight. I do like her as Life cleric using her summons for damage, but this build sounds awesome for a future play.
Perfect build for Shadowcute post Nightsong encounter, particularly for rp reasons if you chose to “follow the light” 😉
This is a perfect build video. Well done 👍
Thank you!
Cool build, I thought it was just going to be a normal light domain build. But adding the fire acuity hat and sorc level makes a huge difference.
Wow. This looks absolutely amazing. Can't wait to try it out.
Hope you enjoy it!
Could you please provide attributes for this build? Like level 1 etc.@Toyhouze
As an avid player, I really appreciate this video. Not just the build, but more the presentation and breakdown. Very clear and well done. Easily one of the better build videos I've seen on here
Thank you!
“you can just cast banishment on Ansur and some other plane of existence will have to worry about that” 😂
Damn, you cracked the code on this build VERY WELL DONE!!!
It's a great build, if you want a tanking Cleric. I did a respec on Shadowheart and made her a LIFE Cleric. She still has Spirit Guardians, but mostly I have her cast Sanctuary and then heal and buff everyone as needed. Most of the time I finish battles with everyone nearly at full health, although their spells and attacks are depleted. I like this, it looks amazing, but I don't know if it's a build I need from my Cleric right now (just starting Act 2.) I will keep this in mind though should I find that I need her offensive assistance. Thanks for all you do! ETA: it appears LIGHT Cleric may be a good choice for Act 2, and I also watched another video about this build so when SH hits level 8 (very very soon) I may just respec her to this at least for the rest of Act 2.
Life clerics can use their channel divinity or throw heal potions without consuming any spell slots.
thank you!
You didn’t discuss starting abilities but looking at your screen at various points it looks like you just used the default?
To keep the build a little lore friendly I get her first level in rogue and eventually get 2 more rogue levels later. The extra dash helps the guardians instantly win act 2 for you and it's like she retains her sharran background
Light Cleric would be lore accurate after act 2
Light cleric/sorc has been round for months it's really good with a reverb set up
Oh this looks excellent.
Nice build. Especially thank you for cantrip fire touch. Because we already know how Shad is muff😂
Thanks for the tip to use banishment on exploding watchers
i'm on my 5th playthrough now and every single one i've used a light cleric. even now as my friend and i progress through honour mode using only 2 characters i've chosen the light cleric. it's just a beast and what functionally amounts to a tank/healer/fire mage packed with a ton of utility.
thank you so much! do you have any good builds for league of legends? thank you
Boots of reverberation also works wonder with this build. Defender flail is also strong act 1/2 since it gives 1 AC which works well with the luminus armor
the reverberation gear is also really fun to pair into the build, why not also make them prone while running around em.
I've been using this exact build. It is hands down the best. I've experiment with tempest and war- and this outshines them all.
"out-SHINES" lol
Love this build and wanna try it , but is there a written version of this guide? Like you got website with builds?
there's still so much to explore in this game after looking through the video
What about... Eldritch Knight 8?
At level 8, you can get blur and mirror image plus you'll have shield. so everything misses you. Use adamantine shield for reeling. Lumninous helm and luminous armor. for orbs, mental fatigue ring. So you have 3 conditions you put on enemies when they miss.
Then use boots of stormy clamor, and gloves of belligerent skies. which add reverb every time you inflict a condition or do radiant dmg. you're always doing radiant dmg and always inflicting conditions.
Use shining staver for the radiant dmg. then the rare light mace that does 2d8 piercing and 1d4radiant.
THEN, you can use arcane synergy ring and elemental augmentation necklace. With EK war magic ability, you cast a cantrip and get a main hand attack as a bonus action, and that triggers arcane synergy for 2 turns and necklace adds spell mod to your cantrip, then arcane synergy adds you caster mod to your melee attacks.
Because you never get hit you can go low on con. you only need 14 dex to get 2 ac from your medium armor so you can go 16-16 on your str and int. You can use feats to buff these stats, but...I would recommend several other feats that can fit this build.
level 8 ek gets 2 attacks and 3 feats. at level 9 you get misty step. level 10 you get eldtritch strike(enemies you attack get disadvantage against you, so they miss) Everything that misses you, basically goes prone. and while they are prone they are stacking up reverb so they are way less able to stand back up, and you just stack orbs/reverb on them while thety sit there struggling to stand up.
Level 11 you get 3 attacks and level 12 you get your 4th feat. fighter is a REALLY mean full class and EK gives you a lot of extra help in the spells department that is really the only thing lacking in fighter. perfect gish build.
This build also works REALLY well for blade pact warlock 5(for the feat and extra attack) and then 2 palladin for the radiant dmg you get from paladin and is also charisma based. after that, sorc till end of the game for metamagic/sorc points.
So you can dump stat str and int and wis, all you need is dex 14 for the 2 ac, and stack charisma since your spells and weapon attacks use charisma.
Lol I was literally just thinking about changing SH to a light cleric!
I can't imagine running Shadowheart as anything other than Trickery/Light Domains, even when I run her as a Gloomstalker 5/Shadow Monk 3 type thing.
Using Spirit Guardians to kill all those rats in Shar’s dungeon during Act 2 was some of the most fun I had in the game
Makes clearing the adds during thaniel's rescue much easier 💯
My own build is one level fighter for constitution mastery, then cleric. Later on respec as Fighter 1/ Wizard 1 / Cleric 10
My first game went bonkers, 2 zombie druids plus 2 rangers, combat went a little like this, turns the entire floor into lava and making a phalanx line with my minions while spamming whatever I felt was going to look cooler, combat easy, listing to 20 skeleton's movement sounds was torture tho
Just tried this build on my first playthrough, and you weren't kidding. In act 2 at levels 6-7 you just start deleting everything. I put this build on Shadowheart, and she just about solo'd the Balthazar fight without any effort at all. I will note that I thgink the Sentinel shield works amazing for this build, and Lathander's blood is also incredible for the Blinded on undead and fiends to go along with everything else.
Nice. I'm looking for a cleric build to fit my team
have you thought about maybe throwing some rogue into that build? The asking is that you can use bonus actions at level 2 for disengage or dash. which means you can triple your movement speed. I can reach about 60 movement in 1 turn at level 7. ( without haste)
could you start putting the illithid powers to use in these builds aswell? im new and not sure what illithids i should use
What about stats/attributes????
No written guide?
What stat distribution and where to put bonus points?
THIS!
Instead of taking that one level in sorc I stay with cleric and just use resilient feat and grab CON. You get plus 1 and prof in CON. Then you still have two other feats. Lucky, alert, ASI. WHICHEVER fits your part best.
@toyhouze Im new to the game. Does the sword proficiency matter?
I'm doing an evil playthrough soon and will be respecing Minthara to a Cleric (most fitting class for a female drow). This might be the perfect build for that
And whats with the starting attributes?
Useful one. Looking now for a new Shadowheart build.
Sanctuary imo is an under valued L1 spell. As a bonus action, it lets you blast enemies and then immediately become impossible to target until you choose to attack again.
Great point! I love Sanctuary but I didn't mention it in the build!
@@Toyhouzeyou can also twin cast Sanctuary as a bonus action with two or more levels of Sorcerer, which can be a game changer in a fight you’re losing, or let two of your characters tear into the enemy and then become immune to retaliation.
I’ve been thinking of doing a party with two Cleric Sorcerers. The bad guys would effectively never get an attack action after the party hit level 3.
sanctuary + Moonbeam = invincible damage
Ive used sanctuary to create road blocks. Basically blasting enemies then standing in the doorway with sanctuary on so they cant get past while my other character range attack the enemies. Though there are some spells and abilities that bypass sanctuary.
it sadly also cancels the guardians
What’s the stat spread for the build?
Try Sorc1+Cleric5+Abjurer6 for even more survivability. Works for both Light and Tempest cleric subclasses. For the sorcerer level, you can stick with the free Fly movement (which you forgot to mention competes for the BA with Click Heels) or switch over to White Dragon for Armor of Agathys, depending on whether you want to be invulnerable or not. If you do go the dragon route, switch out False Life for something else (Magic Missile, say) as the THPs from FL and AoA do not stack. This is generally a great build for Shadowheart after her loyalty switch and by varying the number of levels of these harmonious classes, such as adding a few more Sorc levels for Quickened Spell, you can create variations that have a different emphasis while maintaining the overall build concept.
I am trying a new version of this in act 3, Paladin 6 Lore Bard 6, so I can get smitey with spell slots 1 and 2 and save 3 through 5 for spirit guardians. With mirror charisma and hag and a elixir of str my saves are stupid and smites do work. Using shield and devotee mace
This build seems like it would really benefit from two levels of fighter for action surge to then CC in the same turn. With that it's legit to use Gandriels weapon as you'd have proficiency too
if you want to do this build with Shadowheart, what optional weapon do you suggest since she is not prof with many martial weapons like longsword or shortsword
phalar aluve is just perfect for Shadow Heart
Hello there, great video (as usual).
There's a word I cannot get in your video though.
When you talk about combining "scorching ray" with something else. That sounds like "faeral streak" to me :)
Phalar Aluve's shriek
This is my build exactly lol well almost but i put 4 levels of Paladin.
For smites .
Is this all without or with the newest patch because I thought they made that staff of necromancy nerfed
Thank you for making the clerk S rank .
Heads up to everyone about the staff of cherished necromancy: I’ve been using it in my honour mode game as a spore circle Druid and they have patched the infinite uses it has, so it is no longer broken :^)
For the weapon I noticed he did not meet the martial requiremnt. Should you still use Phalar Aluve?
I use her as a healer and crowd control, w laezel and engine girl as a vanguard and my shadow monk to clap low health mages or archers. This build does slap tho but if you don’t have a healer in higher difficulties it’s a lot harder to win prolonged fights
The firebolt cantrip is the best for the knowledge subclass Cleric. It can get 3 modifiers to added dmg if using multiclass with a dragon sorc, int (for first act only), x2 wis, and cha. It can do 60+ dmg per bolt and hit like 4 enemies or 2 enemies twice. Add on the elemental adapt feat to ignore fire res for a bonus. A lvl 8 knowledge cleric with 2 warlock levels can also make a Eblast that adds wis and cha that does 60+ dmg as well.
Multiclassing doesn’t work like that. You can’t add 3 different ability modifiers to one spell. If fire bolt is learned as a wizard cantrip, it always just uses INT. If eldritch blast is learned as a warlock, it always uses CHA. You can’t also add your WIS modifier just because you take cleric levels.
@@ProbeAway It does work like that. What you get at level 8 in the knowledge or light subclass for clerics is Potent spell casting, adding wis onto your cantrips. Sorcs have draconic bloodlines that make it so cha is added to their cantrips and spells of their element they choose for their bloodline. Warlock has it so at level 2 invocation EBlast adds cha. Mods can stack, even if they are the same.
Then you have items like the amulet of elemental augmentation to add another instance of your spell modifier onto fire, cold, acid, thunder or lighting spells. With the int circlet (you only have to use it till ya get enough levels to get a cha firebolt) it's very easy to get 17 int, 20 wis, and 20 cha. So the fire bolt is int/cha base, potent spell casting adds wis, the amulet adds wis or cha, and the sorc bloodline adds cha. Now you have a firebolt that uses 3 mods. Without other items that boost spell dmg or add any more dmg the firebolt is doing roughly 35-60ish dmg a hit. And can still be upgraded higher with other items like Kethrics cloak and such.
Also, every cantrip you learn from a race selection (like high elfs) will be the int/wizard version of the cantrip. Doesn't matter what class you pick. The game will also tell you what the base modifier is for a spell/cantrip when you select from the multiple versions of the spell/cantrip if you have more then one learned from different modifiers/classes.
dope
but you only get the extra damage from Elemental Affinity at sorcerer level 6? You only get the damage resistance at level 1
You can also use dual wielding, and put The Spellsparkler (quest reward in Wuakeen's Rest) in your off-hand with Phalar Aluve in main hand for some insane extra dmg and synnergy with radiating orbs. Also, the Boots of Stormy Clamour (sold by Omeluum) are insane if you want to focus on that instead of the boots used in this video :)
First of all I love your build videos very nice explanations. But instead of going Sorc1/cleric 11 why not take cleric 12 to keep the wisdom saving throws and get resilient:con for and extra point in constitution and con saving throws with the extra feat you will get?
Nice. I also want shadowheart to fill for the rogue. Do you think a light cleric and rogue multiclass build will work?
It does, but you can also multiclass with ranger for more spellcasting levels, or monk for more mobility, and they can still make solid pickpockets/ lockpickers
I wish they customized the effects differently for each subclass. Having guiding bolt on Trickster cleric looks too holy/and heavenly. I feel like making it look more necrotic would be more fitting
Awesome! I’m gonna take this build straight into the house of grief to challenge viconia! I should do great!!! XD
It will do great there - break a leg!
@@Toyhouze can't tell if you got my joke here. lol
light cleric is great in Act 2 with all the darkness
Other than the Reverb combo that has already been mentioned, I'm kinda questioning War Caster when the entire point is that you're stacking Radiant Orbs and have Warding Flare and Shield to protect yourself. The entire point is that they're not going to hit in the first place, no?
How are you able to use martial weapons? My shadowheart can’t use the sword or the crossbow
Did they change how firebolt scales because I swear ut says wisdom on my tooltip when I look at Shadowheart.
How do you hit anything with that crossbow? It can work with the Gloves of Dexterity, but you use up 1 item slot.
Thanks for the build, strange I started pretty much the same thing 3 days ago. Question: Why Respeck for 1 Lvl of Sorc? Instead of just taking Storm Sorc at 1st lvl and then the rest of Light Cleric? Curious. Thx ahead of time. Peace
I think the idea is to just get the cleric abilities as soon as possible. Then when you get to the right level you respec for the proficiency in con saving throws while still having all of your cleric abilities from earlier levels
I’ve never had Warding Flare work for me…they always hit no matter what
I tried respeccing her as a Wizard/Cleric (using the circlet of intelligence) but not a sorc/cleric. Will try it out, thanks!
i have no clue what item youre talking about. there is no itemed named "circlet of intelligence"(i checked the wiki). Could you please tell me what it does?
@@rabidcabbage7230 I was referring to the "Warped Headband of Intellect" that you can loot from the ogres in the Blighted Village in Act 1. It sets your Intelligence to 17. You can easily multiclass SH (or another companion) into wizard, but she would be restricted from using other headgear. I hope that clarifies things!
@@acadiano10 ah that makes sense. I thought that there was some Item I didnt know that changed the spell casting stat
@Toyhouze New to bg/dnd. Phalar Aluve is long sword which shadowheart does not appear to be proficient in. How does this impact the char? Or are we some how gaining proficiency (feat)?
No, you are using it to apply Shriek. you are never meant to actually attack with it.
what starting stats should i use? the recommended or dump some to 8?
As SH i dump Str and Char...16 wisdom,16con,14 dex and 12 int
As First Feat in this Build i Always Take Warcaster..you really need the Con Saving Throw Prof
Awesome build, but what's the difference between reclassing at level 7 instead of multiclass?
You should mention the stat change
How would Gandrel's Aspiration work if Light Cleric doesn't have proficiency with Heavy Crossbows?
At level 3 what the equipment to gain 1d4 thunder damage
Part of this build appears to just not be working anymore?
Coruscation Ring does not inflict radiating orbs with spirit guardians whatsoever. My weapon has light cast on it and the ring is simply doing nothing. Does it not work in full daylight?
Can anyone help me find where he says the ability scores to set at the start??
As of Patch 6 the Staff of Necromancy is patched and comsumes its charges :)
How does somebody comebupbwith Something like that? Awesome! Clerics
Do you still consider the Staff of Cherished Necromancy the best weapon for this build after the Patch 6 nerf?
boots of stormy clamor. Gloves of belligerent skies. Stack dat reverb. Also, mental fatigue ring, and adamantine shield. Literally...everything is just prone all the time. lol
Are you sure produce flame does more damage than the tooltip says? The footage showed you using it on a barrel, which has vulnerability to fire so that 28 was actually 14 damage
Sorry I have to say something- warhding flare?!
Ward - like 'war' (wor) with a d at the end. Warding - 'wor-ding'.
Yeah it's a little distracting.. I think you're right to point out the mistake but I hope if Toyhouze sees this he doesn't find it to be a jab. I don't think you meant it as one but text usually comes off in the worst way possible. I think it's important to remember that there's more to learn in this world than can possibly be experienced in a lifetime. Being gracious when we are able to share something we've learned goes much further than incredulity that someone else hasn't had the experiences we have. Hopefully Toyhouze will learn this little tidbit of information and go on to make more quality content. Damn this is a long comment and one written more for my own catharsis than anything but I hope if you're reading this you're having a good day whoever you are.
Wait was this a build for shadow heart bc I did it for my main
DO you have a copy of the dialogue in text form?

Out of curiosity, why respec into a sorcerer for 1 level then go cleric after instead of just multi-classing into one? Is there a difference?

Anyone notice that he said the the same thing about the crossbow twice
What's that armor at 0:25?
Harm is unfortunately bugged. It works as expected if they succeed their save (half damage). But on a failed save they only get an HP reduction via a hidden value roll, without an actual damage roll.
This has the same effect if they are on full health, but the more health they’ve already lost, the less damage you do. If they’ve already lost more health than the harm HP reduction, you do zero damage. Also, because the game doesn’t register an actual damage roll on a failed save, on-hit effects (like radiating orb) don’t get applied.
Anyone know of a build like this but using a caster (Sorc, Wiz, Lock)?
