Best Healing Cleric - soft Wisdom / Charisma Maxed

[Istar]

What is the best build for a Cleric based around gold healing, and no defence.
With maxed out Wisdom with Charisma 2nd stat as high as possible.

Race to use that has +2 to these 2 stats and some nice racial bonus's.

Defences weak as no bonus's to Reflex / AC / Fortitude.
So he's a soft target but maxed out on healing.

Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible

Kalashtar/Messenger of Peace/Saint is probably the most optimal configuration. There is a sample build based around that at the bottom, but basically just take the sky blue/gold options from the guide and you're good.

Cheers, thanks and I had never heard of Kalastar

They initially showed up in the 3.5 Eberron Campaign Setting; in 4e, WotC really doesn't do setting-specific races (even if they initially appear in a setting-specific book).

Any other races do +2 Wis / Char besides Kalaster.
Why is Dwarf rated so high as a healer, certainly doesnt meet these stats.

Probably because the ability to use Second Wind as a minor action and the existence of feats like Dwarven Durability to increase surge effectiveness make the Dwarf less likely to need to peform self-healing and or miss a turn due to being unconscious. You can't heal someone else if you are healing yourself or watching stars and birdies swirl above your head.

Yep but no good unless you go constitution, and cleric 2nd stats are either Charisma or Strength or Dex if Elf.

So Dwarf as Cleric seems to have limited use, and certainly slows you down getting out of harms way.

So are there any other races with +2 Wisdom / Charisma ?

Nope. Kalashtar is it for Wis/Cha races designed for PCs (and I didn't see any monster races either). If your DM decides they're too Eberron for his or her campaign, you're out of luck.

That said, missing a bit on one or the other ability score will not kill the character.

And it's not like that's the only stat combo there are few or no races for despite one or more classes really liking that combo. There's no int/con PC race either (and swordmages, artificers, wizards, and warlocks have int/con builds).
