Advice on picking a healer

[Buns]

Thanks for the advice. I suppose I'll stick with a cleric then, since I'm most interested in healing.

I'm kind of struggling though. I'm level 5 now, and I'm mostly too weak to solo blues at the moment (it takes sooo long to kill them). I also haven't had much luck getting into a group, and I assume I'm not much use anyway until level 8 when I get med.

I have about 22 pp after buying my level 5 spells. Should I invest in a better weapon (I'm still using a rusty morning star) so that I can solo better? If so any advice on what to go for? Any advice where to solo/group? I'm in EC right now... was previously in GFay but couldn't do much on Orc Hill.

I don't remember having this much problem in EQ1, but I think I was probably twinked when I started new characters, and can't remember what I did when I started my first character back in 99.

Thanks!
