Respeccing Shadowheart to Life Domain, yay or nay?

[navigator4223]

What do you think?

I like the stronger healing, although it seems like her utility / off DPS value drops quite a bit this way.

[MASTERCHIEF]

yay for gameplay. nay for role play. I just use shadowheart to buff my team so the life domain is perfect.

[Valtaya]

no idea, want to respec her for 2 weeks now but always forget :)
but actualy should do it, use Shadowheart as healing battery only anyway, usualy only use guardian spirits radiant and the sacred fire centrip, that should do enough aua with life domain

[Amogus]

if you want a very useful heal bot respect shadowheart to life domain, but i changed her to a wizard, and ran through later half of act 1 and mid act 2 without a clecric since i killed the druid grove. i made gale into a bard

or go light for fireball

[Gingermonkey]

I did it once. Its marginally better than trickery, but healing isnt all that necessary. I have her as a tempest cleric/open hand monk now, and have been having a blast with her.

Light domain if you don't care about roleplay. Fireball to kill everything that would hurt your party is a much better form of healing.

[DragonSoundxSG]

Yes. I did it and it's 100x better.

Why tho? Makes perfect sense for a redemption arc.

I actually re-specced her to War Domain because I wanted another frontline fighter.

If you feel like it works for you, go for it. I feel like there are 0 downsides to re-speccing unless you're deliberately hamstringing your characters.

I like Light Domain better because of spell selection, but Life is also very good and viable.

I left all the origin characters as their default classes/subclasses because I rather characters feel true to their story design. I just adapted my playstyle and equipment.

But take that with a grain of salt because Shadowheart has been using a bow and a staff more than a shield and mace in my game.

Do whatever you think is more fun.

Edit: I will say, being someone who's currently doing her companion quest... doing that soft step trial in the Shar Temple Guantlet with Shadowheart might be way harder without Pass Without Trace skill on her, but I suppose there's other ways for you to get similar abilities/stealth advantages.

Thank you for your input. :-)

I think the right time to respec her is after she turned to Selûne, RP-wise she should be trickery for Shar, but I want her really holy (in a sexy way) when she's a selûnite.

I did this too. I feel it's a fitting alternative.

Trickery domain is the most useless cleric there is, so yay x100

I changed her to tempest, but also multiclassed her to Vengeance Paladin at the beach so she could use martial weapons. Cleric 8/Pally 4 - Funny enough, Larian forgot to remove dialogue choices when they removed Shar from the deity list, because if you use ShadowHeart to get the 3 tieflings to stay and help the refugees, a dialogu option is (Paladin of Shar)
