[QUOTE="Victim, post: 5992818, member: 78"] As for CoDzilla, a lot depends on the scaling of various factors. Up to level 5, the fighter starts with +1 attack on the cleric and d6 CS, and grows to +2 and 2d8 CS. If the battle cleric is stuck on +2 attack (for physical and magical) the whole time, while the fighter is growing his attack every 4th level and scaling both the number and size of his CS dice, it might be tough for the cleric to keep up in fighting even with buffs. Especially since we already see some negative buff interactions. Prayer doesn't work if the targets are Blessed. Battle Psalm ends if you cast another spell. Stacking up all the spells doesn't look like it's going to work so well - based on what we see so far. So if there are other good self buffs that work in conjunction with each other or the spells we have, then there's a problem. If it's basically "Pick one of your DF, Righteous Might, or DP" or something like that, then it's not But it's really hard to predict high level scaling with what we have so far. I don't think you could really call out CoDzilla by only seeing level 3 spells in 3.5 either. Although Druid would look like a problem from low levels. [/QUOTE]
