BROKEN Light Domain Cleric Build Full Guide + Gear | Shadowheart (Good) Baldur's Gate 3

By far one of my favorites and one of the most fun classes to play as! The Cleric is severely underrated and I would argue it’s actually one of the best classes in the game. Give it a go and you’ll see what I mean!

This video will be referenced in a huge Lore-Accurate Shadowheart video in the future and you can use this Build if you’d like to respec Shadowheart after completed her quest in Act 2.

Look out for the Legolas and Griffith Builds coming soon! Thanks for stopping by ⚔️

The only Correct answer IMO for Devine Intervention is getting the legendary Mace. but that is just me

Spirit guardians: radiant. Run around with this on, and just pop orbs everywhere

Nicee, i would love to see a tempest cleric next, something with reverberation

I've gone with starting 1 storm sorc then 11 light cleric which gives us fly after casting and also con prof, also 4 more support cantrips.

If you have Infernal Rapier, you can basically start each day with the Cambion AND Heroes Feast. I run Shadowheart with create undead and danse macabe so she's leading a little army of her own.

I too am a fan of the sentinel shield because i start each fight with Bless and Spiritual Weapon and i need to buff Tav gloomstalker before he goes and does his whirlwind of bolts turn.

Congrats on 500 subs! You're killin it

What are good boots for this build? Currently in act 2. Thanks

I'm unable to adjust the focus of her ability points? Is this something I unlock later?

10 light cleric 2 evocation wizard for sun beam/moon beam and no friendly fire is better in my opinion. Also radiant retaliation helmet is awesome if you have good AC and radiant orb gear.

Can, m

If you're worried about the role-playing aspect of all of this, you probably wouldn't use a re-specced Shadowheart in Act II in the first place. Or at least not one re-specced to "Light" domain... :D
I've cheezed her way too early in my first two runs (one run as Light, one as Life) but on my third run I didn't send her to Withers until she had changed her hair-color...
Had her run Life after that, but I did change that to Light again and gave her back that Radiant Shockwave armor. It makes her a bit too squishy for my taste, but its effect is just too good. And Shadowheart with all her potential for dealing radiant damage is the obvious choice for that armor - at least in my party.

Cant find luminous armor , anyone know why it does not show up in the chest? I remember it was there on another playthrough

Running something similar to this build on Shadowheart in one of my playthroughs, although I specced her to be 6 Light Cleric/ 6 Eldritch Knight to have a few other spells, multi attack, second wind and action surge. The Stormy Clamour boots in combination with the Thunsderskin cloak and Spiteful Thunder ring can expand on the reverbration part of the built as well.
SH's story also helps with the items, since they either provide radiant damage right away or at least glow, making it easier to proc but you can always cast Light from a Cantrip and Draconic Elemental Weapon from the Drakethroat Glaive to help with proccing reverbration. Also recommend the Holy Lance Helmet for the optional Radiant damage on missed attacks against you, which should be a lot considering the shield and all.

I quite like starting with a 1 storm sorc for the bonus to concentration checks, so jig the stats around accordingly with an even number on con. What it does do is give you a bonus action on casting a spell of flight which massively increases your mobility and synergises incredibly well with upcasted spirit guardians.

Light Cleric is awesome. Instead of Blood of Lathander i like to use Staff of Arcane Blessing later on, because it makes Bless completly OP. Your Party will never miss again.
I can also recommand to pick 1 Level of Wizzard. For this you can go for 14 Dex and 12 Int. You don´t need more than 14 Dex, because she never fights with a weapon. A cantrip would be better. The two Spellslots can be used for Haste and Misty Step. You can also cast a Fire Elemental which can be upcast to a Myrmidion with a Level 6 Spell Slot. The Daredevil Gloves are awesome, too.

Solid build video, great editing. Keep up the good work bro.

Subbed and wrote the comment to help your channel get started

Im playing with a Light Cleric + 1lvl dip into Wizard so I can have more spells.

What about the feat "warcaster"?

God i hate her hair so much since day 1.....i will turn her into a hot chick if only that magic mirror is useable on companions.

what about adamantite shield , so you cant get crit'd

I like that more build videos are realizing how powerful single class builds actually are.

Multiclassing is fun, but some classes have enough firepower & choice flexibility to be absolute powerhouses all by themselves.

Side Note: I wish a lot of these builds didn't overlap so much of their gear. The Gloves of Belligerent Skies are used in so many builds & with so many classes, even Blood of Lathander to a lesser degree.

Thankfully, the rest of the items I'm no using for a million other builds, so I'm good to go there! 😅

Best guide video I've seen so far.

Sadly, there are too many enemies immune or resistant to fire damage, and one of those fights is one you don’t want to do radiant damage to.

The most truly broken version of this is to keep luminous armor, gloves of belligerent skies, callous glow and ring of spiteful thunder with the boots of stormy clamor. luminous armor is currently broken atm and can apply an uncapped amount of radiating orb and can apply several stacks of radiating orb in one turn compared to the only 2-3 you get from the other ring and gloves. this build is so broken in fact it tends to crash your game 😂, but seriously you can solo with it even on tactician plus mods since any enemy with -20 to attack rolls is absolutely useless

Love Light Domain and Tempest.

Up there with Oathbreaker Palock.

Let's see a roguelock bro!!!

It's my favorite cleric subclass too. Everybody talks about tempest but i keep respeccing Shadowheart into light 😊

I disagree on preparing cure wounds. All the level 1 healing a light cleric needs is healing word. The spells dont heal enough if you're not a life cleric and are only really useful to get someone back on their feet. Id say one should prepare sanctuary instead of cure wounds.

Pretty good build (though it's hard to mess up with Light Clerics). Just a note: High Elf is nearly pointless compared to Wood Elf, since the extra cantrip always scales with Intelligence. Also, Cleric should ideally never be your Persuasion character with such low Charisma.

please don't use shadowheart, I hate shadowheart. why, if they talk about a priestess, they always talk about shadowheart. it's like the wizards of thaya, they are tired of hearing about Elminstra all the time. if Larrian was not made a priest of Shadowheart, then no one needed her. Shadowheart is incredibly repulsive with her nasty character and always crooked face. and her character and manner of speaking. She Shadowheart is never happy. I always want to kill her. please use the character you created. I’m just tired of constantly hearing, priest-Shadowheart. everywhere the priest means Shadowheart

Nice build.
I suggest to try to Respec once you get at Lev5.
Take the First level as Sorcerer, Stormy.
To get Proficiency with CON Saving Throws, and the ability to Fly.
This FLY is awesome, is added to your regular Movement, enemies cant retaliate with Opportunity attacks.
And you can move on the battlefield, illuminating everything and blasting with Guardians.

So, PROS: CON Saving Throws, FLY. 4 Cantrips.
CONS: Not the 3rd FEAT.

But in your Build, you get CON Resilient. That gives exactly the same benefit as the First levl of SOR.
You miss the +1, but at that Level you are probably not needing the +1 to CON.

Also, speaking of FEATS, i use +2 ASI to WIS, and War Caster, to have Advantages on Concentration Saving Throws.
Paired with CON ST Proficiency, its pretty hard to lose a Concentration.

I think starting with 2lvls of sorcerer would be great. it gives concentration prof and metamagics. but we loose planar ally and a feat. hard to decide
