Here is a healer build I made when Hierophant just came out.
The lore skill may have to be adjusted accordingly (arcane to religion), but the rest should be good to go.

Hope that helps.

Don't you need to be a Talos cleric to become a Stormlord?
And to be a deity's cleric, you have to be their alignment or one step away, right?
So you don't qualify for monk. Or you don't qualify for Stormlord.

Reading must be a complicated thing sometimes .

Stormlord stands in for Hierophant.


One thing though. You don't need full points in spellcraft imo. 30 is plenty.

[Storm Munin]

Well, what do you want it to do?

The build above is decent but the turning is shot to hell if you wanted a turner or someone using anything but their fists.

The best healer is a Favored Soul, but in any case I'm not getting why Sacred Fists make especially good healers. In any case any Cleric makes a decent healer, so it would make sense to say what else you want them to do. This isn't an MMORPG with Tanks and Healers; restricting a Cleric to healing is pretty daft from every perspective.

...I knew that.

I think the best healer is a druid. They can pump up their wisdom insanely high, and that's the stat needed to heal well.

There's no bettah healing than healing kits.

True dat. It's not hard to get a very high heal skill without epic items. Heck you could even get 100 heal without any epic gear. (Assuming you have a druid to buff you and want to play a terrible build. That being said Hymn of Requiem is a great healing tool, if only bard had heal as a skill it would probably be the best healing class) My current doctor should have around 78 heal in level 30.

The only problem is it seems they have changed it so you can no longer use two heal kits in a round :/

Strength score can be a hassle. I do like sacred fists for healing because it means you can give up big clunky armor for more heal kits.

More heal kits.

Sorry that just can't compare with Heal, Empowered Heal, etc., and/or Regenerate, Extended Regenerate & Empowered Regenerate. Etcetera. Plus healing kits do not 'take 20' when used in a battle.

I'm not here to debate what class makes the best healer; the OP was asking about a cleric build in particular.

Here is why I posted the build:

1. Wears no armor for less weight and that priestly feel
2. Uses no weapons for less weight
3. Fast movement to get to the wounded quickly
4. 14 Str and low gear weight allows for many healing kits to be carried
5. Can use short-duration buffs to put out very respectable damage
6. Spontaneous conversion allows for spell-slot flexibility
7. Optimized healing magic (healing domain, augment healing, faith healing)
8. Decent AC and survivability

I think all of that makes for a pretty good healer, though I admit I'm no great builder.

Does anyone else have builds for the OP?

To each their own I guess. I prefer staying immortal with 40 potions of heal in my inventory though.

I would point out the benefits of Hierophant (Faith Healing). I'd probably say Cleric/Hospitaler/Hierophant would be stronger than pure Cleric from not only a healing, but other perspectives as well.

You can use two healing kits per round if I remember. Pump up heal to 90 and you have 200 healing per round. Is there a spell that does that, for no spellslot?

2 healing kits is news to me (BTW 2x90=180), but then I've never tried it. Consumables cost Gold

Quicken spell allows 2 spells in a round, and Empowered gives you 50% more from one spell. But Regenerate can be running while you Heal, or do something else rather than stand there getting attacked. And it stacks. You can't beat Regenerate.
