Going Toe to Toe as a Cleric

[stebbins99]

I leveled my cleric on Blue as a "battle cleric" up to 42 or so. Here's some of my experience/feedback doing so:

Meleeing high-greens for experience is much easier than any type of blue-con after you hit lvl 25-30

Your mana regen sucks when standing up and duking it out-- thus, plan on a "burst then rest" type of playstyle. I'd usually solo 2-3 mobs and then need to sit down and let my mana regen

If you can find undead to solo, your mana goes a lot further (to supplement your melee)

I liked to use a big 2-hander (2HB) - this makes it easier to "joust" if needed

**All this said, ten times out of ten its usually better to find a duo or group. Hah. Have fun!
