Solo Melee Cleric Template

Image
  This is the (slightly cleaned up) template, spec, RAs, CLs, used in my 2025 melee cleric video found here . Spec: 50 Smite, 13 Enhance, 11 Rejuv. Stats are with melee hammer out. For casting I used Starlight hammer.  Priority is to get 400 str, 250 quickness, and eventually 320 dex (I didn't have the dex in my video and instead focused purely on melee). For Highlander you'll need Aug Str5, Aug Qui3, Aug Dex4.  Other RAs: Adrenaline Rush3, Purge3,  Mastery of Pain9 (first get your aug str/qui) . CLs I specced were: Rogue:      Hind Strike -> Spine Crack      Backfire -> Graceful Fall -> Anti-Venom -> Counter Assault Fighter:      Resilience (most damaging anytime)      Tenacity (anytime when low on endo)      Retaliation *** Stats *** Strength: 128/122 Constitution: 126/113 Dexterity: 91/88 Quickness: 103/90 Piety: 83/80 Hitpoints: 443/530 Powerpool: 6/25 *** Resistances *** Crush...

Solo Friar Template

Image
This is the template used in my 2025 Friar video. It prioritizes con/hp and toys like Bracer of Zo, speed, boon, and resist charges. Best 1h to use is Ancient Priest Mace for an additional resist charge. If you don't have a Pendragon bracer you can use Band of the Dream Conqueror and change the SC, but you will lose some HP.  Staffs I primarily use are: Cl15, Ghostly, Starlight, Astral & Snowfall. Spec I used: 50 Staff, 47 Enhancement, 14 Rejuvenation, 17 Parry. RAs  (at 11L1): IP3, Purge3, ST1, Mastery of Parry6, Mastery of Pain 6, Toughness6, Aug Dex5, Aug Qui2, MoF3, AoM2, WH2. If starting out I recommend getting Qui2, ST1, Purge2-3, MoParry5 and MoF3 as soon as you can. *** Stats *** Strength: 27/86 Constitution: 129/127 Dexterity: 101/107 Quickness: 84/79 Piety: 18/75 Hitpoints: 440/600 Powerpool: 6/25 *** Resistances *** Crush: 29/28 Slash: 28/29 Thrust: 25/26 Heat: 24/26 Cold: 28/28 Matter: 23/26 Body: 32/26 Spirit: 33/31 Energy: 28/26 *** Specs *** Staff: 13/11 ***...

The Bubble & The Blade: A Solo Warden Guide

Image
Wardens are one of the classes in DAoC with the most spec options, especially looking at Battle Warden specs. In this guide I'll go over the pros and cons of the most prominent specs, as well as some more experimental specs that I've tried through the years. Common with each of them is that you want to have at least 40 Blades (for the absorb debuff chain) and 32 Nurture (for the fatigue reduction buff).  This guide will also provide some tips for RA progression, abilities, as well as equipment and other general tips. I hope that this guide can provide some useful insight, as well as showcase some of the many options available to Wardens, to hopefully inspire new creative takes on the class. This guide is based on my own experience with over 4100+ solo kills on the Warden, playing the class as my main, on and off, for more than 18 years.
