OK maybe I came across with a bit too much melodrama, but when I started my cleric in Nektulos... by level 6-7 I was at the undead obelisk nuking the crap out of undead.
If you're soloing I'd try and invest in your mana pool long term versus having a weapon to hit slightly harder with for the first 10 levels. I've grouped with some clerics on my SK who refuse to sit down and med, and suddenly they're oom and we're sat around waiting for him to get his mana back.
The point I'm trying to make, obviously missed, was that to be an efficient cleric in a group you'll need to confine yourself to meditating (when you get past orc 1 etc).
If that's not for you, a cleric might not be the way forward...because watching health bars is 90% of what you'll be doing from Unrest onwards.
Good luck with Genedin, obviously with buffs you can do more solo...I play off peak a lot of the time and there weren't so many EC bots sitting around when I was levelling.
