PLAYER STRATEGY - CLERIC
CREATION INFO AND STUFF. - A_55_cleric99, Xegony

First, know that the two best cleric races are dwarves. High elves have most wisdom (130 max base). Dwarves have a max base of 118, which is the highest you can get as a non high elf. Dwarves also have a lot more strength and stamina than high elves do (can have 118 base wis with 100 base str). Weight is an issue as a high elf cleric, should definately put extra points into strength. As a dwarf it might be nice to put the extra points into agility so you can have 75 base and not suffer the low agi AC penalty. Wisdom should be at 200 by level 40 for sure, probably before then. Once you have 200 wis you should focus on AC items, although at higher levels healing aggro isnt' so bad because of ability of melees to do damage and piss off mobs, you do get knocked around a bit and you can't get heals off on yourself while being attacked by more than 2 mobs very often, so you need to be able to take damage long enough to give tanks a chance to get things off you.

Sometimes there is a druid or shaman in the group who can help you a bit, but I find that they aren't used to healing and don't pay enough attention to your hp to save you. I do have more AC than the average ranger btw

I hear people say clerics are always oom, this isn't true, but you should be doing one of 3 things: Casting a spell, meditating, or running away. Don't run around during a fight unless you're FM, the book is boring before 35 but it's needed to keep mana high. As far as symbol of naltron and peridot costs go, it's isn't so bad. In sebilis your group should give you gems and no stat jewelry that sells for a lot to vendors, this pays for the peridots pretty well. The main problem is mana cost; I usually don't bother with things other than heroic bond for people other than enchanters and tanks, they don't need it very much. Rangers actually can tank, but they should really have every buff you can give them, it saves mana later on when you don't have to Ressurect them.
