Right now, I'm thinking my cleric as somebody who will kind of replace Gale in terms of crowd control. He and Shadowheart have been in every party I've had in my first playthrough (with a bard/rogue Tav) and this time around, I want to have the flexibility to leave him out but don't want to be a direct replacement (e.g., not a wizard or sorcerer). Plus I just want to pair two clerics, since it feels like with a slight respec and a rogue level, Shadowheart + a more AoE/damage-focused cleric could then slot in any companion and be a strong party. I might even take this concept as far as respecing Lae'zel into a war cleric/paladin.
Q: for a C7/S3/W2 or 8/3/1 build, would bit be better to focus on Wisdom 16/Charisma 14, 14/16, or 16/16 with weak con? I plan on 10 dex and int and using the ogre int headband and maybe the dex gloves. Or does that take away the sparky stuff combos?
