Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nail" data-source="post: 4609421" data-attributes="member: 224">IME, it's better to be "focused", rather than "balanced"....because usually "balanced" doesn't mean what you think it means.  It typically means you're trying to cover too many bases.In the case of your cleric, much depends on how your powers stack up against your stats.  You say you're a "battle cleric"; does that mean you took the 2 Str-based At-Wills?  Righteous Brand is one of the best At-Wills in the game (so far), but the other one (Priest's Shield) is awful.  Yet Sacred Flame (the other excellent cleric At-Will IME) needs Wis + an implement.  How low is your Wis?  Do you have a magic weapon and a magic implement?  Etc.And did you try to cover Chr too?  Trying to get 3 good stats (with Method 2: Point Buy) is a poor choice, and leads to sup-par - rather than "balanced" - characters.Think of PC building like this: You're in a race.  You don't "win" this race, but it's always best to be ahead of the pack.  Having two different racing shoes doesn't make you run faster.</blockquote>
