For the upcoming DDO Hardcore season I'm making a Sun Elf specializing in Light and a bit of extra Turn Undead. Wont' be a great healer and may be short on spell points. My brother said when you hit level 15 you get the iconic equipment package hence why we're doing iconics and why I'm heavy mace rather than bow.

Feats

This will be a Sun domain Cleric and I will use two of my regular feats to get the Domain level 3 and 12 feats for flavor though I'll be an ok warrior with the Heavy Mace.

That leaves me five feats. Quicken (so I don't worry about Concentrate skill), Enlarge (for extra range), Maximize (lots of spell power). At level 15 and 18 I'll either do turn undead stuff or double down on spell power with Empower and Intensify.

Sun Elf Enhancements

Sun Elf has some nice Light and Turn Undead enhancements. Also I'll get the weapon training so that I'm ok in melee.

There is a path where you do archery except I think being far back shooting makes it harder to heal allies. Also kind of dilutes the cleric part to be an above average archer but why not be a ranger instead?

Ranks is how many ranks I'm planning on buying. I have a spreadsheet so it calculates total points spent.

Divine Disciple Enhancements

Divine Disciple has good Light spell enhancements and SLAs. Although Radiant Servant is quite nice I won't have any points for it. Warpriest is interesting if you want a front-line combatant. Finally, the new Dark Apostate archetype seems totally incompatible with Sun Elf.

So this is my plan for the first 20 levels. Don't think we got past 10 in two tries last time so we'll worry about Epic levels when we get there.
