what is good skills for shadowheart?

[BlackViper]

i find most of what she uses kinda useless.. i just went up in lvl and on a whim got Prayer of healing only to realize you can only use it outside of combat then what is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point?.
when you can just take a bottle or a tiny rest to heal up instead of losing a spell point. can anyone make me make her better lol.

I realized Shadowheart is more useful as a support character.
I mostly use Bless, shield, summon the floating weapon (forgot the name) and heal.
Oh and fire bolt everything else with that occasional strong light attack if needed.

[Lashane The Simp of Mimi]

the christian is support mostly with some magic projectiles so far. her output is low.

Works surprisingly well against large groups of melee enemies though come spell level 3 with spirit guardians. She might not be finishing a lot of them but surely enables other party members to grind the remaining health to dust.

is the name of the shield spell just "shield?" cause i have a few with shields on them..

clerics are a front line support unit, so buffs and summons are decent choices... also are a decent healer, outside of combat is AOE healing

Curious as well because I swapped out Gale for her in Act 2 and she can't deal damage for ♥♥♥♥ lol

yea i got a aoe healing but outside of combat you still lose POINT that you can use in combat. i cant rest much cause bearly find any food anywhere.. the weapon summon is Great.. but i dont know what more to put on her., i use the black guy as a warlock and the gay wizard with fire speciality while me myself plays as a sorcerer

[Moffin Bovin]

her best skill is respec.

pump str, con and wisdom. dex down to 10. int and charisma are dump stats. Change to a cleric subclass that gets heavy armour.

i recommend putting con on an odd number and getting resilient at lvl 4. Advantage on constitution saves is very useful and should help with concentration saves.

Sounds like you have too many caster type characters. And are experiencing problems because of that.
Mainly because when a caster is surrounded by enemies, they get a disadvantage to their ranged attacks.
Try putting a melee fighter like lizel or Karlach on a team. They are much more simple to play but they do a lot of damage and can tank. And Shadowheart's buffs work better on them.

Also you can respec traits and almost everything from the skeleton guy in your camp.

Regarding shadowheart shield spell it is Shield of Faith, but if you have it on a shield, then you can swap it to something else thats buffing others.

And as other said here, she's a frontline support and she cant really do massive damages.

thats the issue i love the caracters i got.. shadowheart Wyll and gale...
the only warrior i have so far is that haf orc ♥♥♥♥ wich i find just anoying and plain evil lol..
i suck at respecs dont really know what to do with it..

is there a way to change shadowheart into a more tanky dmg dealer? where i can keep Spiritual weapon skill? cause i kinda love that one.

[Rez Elwin]

I changed her to a Light Domain Cleric and she is more useful, she also gains access to fireball as a Light Domain, that alone is reason enough for me.

I know what you mean, but you gotta make choices.
Give Karlach a try, she's more wholesome than the frog looking lady.

And sure, you can respec Shadowheart to any other class you want.
You can make her a Paladin and she will be more tanky while wearing heavy armor and deal more damage.
I think the summon weapon skill is a cleric skill though.
But I think you can work around that by multiclassing her into a Cleric/Paladin and get a bit of both.

Also, if you dont know what is better to choose for what character You can find some good videos on youtube on how to optimize them better.

I have not met Karlach yet.. im still at act 1.. i have not even gone to the goblin Camp to save the guy that owns the grove or whatever its called the first "city" you visit with the crazy refugese that took over the druid home..

but when i meet her i will try her.
