You mean which one. You won't be a "mega" caster with 2 classes. Low dc due to splitting wis/chr/int, low spell penetration, no epic spells, no epic bonus feats etc etc. And the best casters are without a doubt arcane, each with it's own advantages/disadvantages. If you are going for spell quantity, you will want either cleric/sorcerer or cleric/wizard. If you are looking for spell power, then what evo already stated applies.

Well, for straight quantity, I think Cleric/Druid would have them all beat; one stat to raise for both, so you can get lots of extra spells in both as well.

6/17/17 Monk/Cleric/Druid would have both sets of 9th level spells, some decent speed, IKD, AC based on Wisdom; work Wis up to 30 and you have lots of bonus spells and Dragon Shape. I wouldnt want to melee a fast buffed Dragon with IKD. Plus Zen Archery (maybe use sling)? Not a great meleer, but not bad.

1/21/18 Monk/Cleric/Druid or some such variant would not have IKD, but should be similar in many repects, and get Epic Spells. But I dont think the epic spells available for Clerics and Druids are worth it in general, IMO.

Normal kids play rock-paper-scissors.
Shifter kids play IronGolem-RustMonster-MindFlayer. . . i have been playing a cleric/druid/rogue for about a month on the PW i normally play on. it takes a LONG time to lvl once you are past 20 lol. but anywah. yeah it is pretty nice. thought about the monk, with teh wis bonus to ac, but i decided that full plate and shiled with magic vestment gave just as much ac. also, on this server large shields often give bonus to wis, (mostly a cleric sheild) so that is what i am sticking with.
for sheer number of spells, well...more bang for your buck here. however, this is not a melee chara, at the lower lvls it can melee, but not as good as a pure tank, but you can heal. the higher you get, the more you shift into a caster.
also, the server i play on is focused around team play, there is simply no soloing past lvl 7-8, so with all the buffs and heals this one gets, comes in quite handy. and it is a decent nuker, nothin like a wiz or sorc, but can pack a punch.
once you are up there and mostly casting, you can get access to dragon form so if you need to tank a little, you have a dragon with a ton of clerical/druid buffs.

i can post the build if anyone is interrested, its pretty simple.
