Anointed Knight, Shining Blade, Deathblade

are their weapon buffs single weapon or do they span both weapons if dual wielding?

We talked about Deathblade and then I got to thinking that I could make a pretty beefy dual wielder out of this PRC combo if their buffs span both weapons.

putting at least 14 into cha for the uses a day for the weapon buffs of the ShB. You land yourself lightning damage, frost damage, neg energy damage, divine damage in addition to your cleric spells + element runes on the server. Seems to me thats pretty burly right? A single weapon would work but two weapon would be amazing.

Was also considering a lesser buffer doing this with base paladin removing the AK for tempest and making the two weapon that much easier to pull off. less wisdom required for your max spells of 4th level so your free for cha and dex. This might even make the ShB being replaced with CotW for AC and dex damage. All subjective to the above question and your tastes.

Also what are Final Blow, Dead Truce? since they are required for the Deathblade and they arent in the feats section of your site.

Shining blade's a pretty godawful class for a cleric. Half caster level, charisma based class features, limited uses per day? Yuck. Clerics should be dumping charisma, not raising it.

If you're going the dual wielding rapier route, CotW would make more sense. You get magic damage and if you have the dex for dual wielding, chances are you'll get some pretty nice dex to damage. You also don't have to spread your stats so thin, though raising int to 13 would hurt an orc build. Then again since strength isn't going to be so high, you could just forget about being an orc. With a build that has to raise int, mixing in swash would also work.

If you're considering paladin as a base, a FS/pal 4 type build would probably work better. You don't need any wisdom this way and you get most of the cleric goodness.

your kidding right? the idea here isnt the min max stats or spells its to get all the damage types on one strike. cleric gets divine, shining gets lightning, AK gets frost, two runes for fire/acid and death for neg. Ill only be missing pos and there are few ways other than getting a sword with it already there.

Sorry, I assumed "beefy dual wielder" = min maxed killing machine

Cleric gets Something of the Righteous + Holy Warrior (Divine), Persistent Flame of Faith (Fire), Persistent Weapon of Energy (Element of your choice, probably cold). Then there's 2 stat runes for acid and electricity. SL or that bard/cleric/Lyrist of yours would get sonic, deathblade would get you negative. There's no need for the AK.

mmm true AK might not be the best plan for this idea.
