Worth rerolling?

[Kaeyana]

I play a cleric - a high elf cleric. She is my first character and is level 11 now. But, basically, since the last time I played EQ was in 2000, I forgot that the dwarves were right next to the wood elf city where I like to level. It's kind of lame that my strength is really low as a high elf even though I can technically wear plate. So my question for you guys is, would it be worth remaking my character as a dwarf cleric for the extra 30ish strength (and the fact that I can quest for dwarf-only equipment..and being short is usually fun)? Or will the problem just solve itself as I get higher level?

That probably sounds like a silly question, but oh well. I never got past level 16 in the original game, so I am totally clueless as to what's to come. Please help? XD And sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forums.

hey kaeyana! i had a HE clr on live (several actually)
and i have one here;
IMO no, b/c the HIE have highest base WIS so jsut get decked out in Chain armor for awhile!
plus HIE cahin=amazinglook!
once you get rez clr is easy street too!
although difficult to lvl once no undead mobs X_X

High-elf clerics are fine and one of the most common choices, unless you did something silly like putting all your starting points into agility.

Play what you want, how you want. The low STR sucks, but you can overcome that with time. Level 11 isn't too hard to reach, so if you do want to play a Dwarf go ahead and reroll.

[Kevynne]

^^ the low str does suck tru enough
but alot of the early clr gear gives str and wis so it kind of balances

I have a high elf cleric and didn't think twice about it. It's a normal choice.

peck cleric cuz /hide.

[Kaeyana]

It looks like most of you generally agree it's not a big deal, so I think I'll end up sticking with the high elf. I don't think I have the motivation to go back and level again if being a dwarf cleric isn't a pretty big advantage in the game vs what I am now. People will just have to wait up for encumbered little me! :)

Thank you all for your advice! <3

[Kevynne]

your most welcome!

If you want to solo much you will regret the hell out of a High Elf. Wearing a full set of plate and having a few weapons you will be encumbered to hell and back. And Oh, what do I do with the loot and plat??

[Kevynne]

fuck plate. chain is were it's at ;p

Just get a group together and hold them hostage for heals. Make them give you an EE bag lol

You should re-roll, but only because high elves can't hide.

Hints:
- Halfling: hide and sneak (remember cleric don't get invis)
- Dark elf: hide, can quest a snare necklace nut shitty reputation
- Dwarf: high str and wis, can do the roll barrell when jumping (unique among all races), can quest a beer summoning necklace.

Most important of all, see where the fun is for you: you will stare at this character's ass for hours...
