1-34 cleric is definitely way better, I did wizzy on blue with that free 40 damage nuke stick and geared up, it was still not that easy. 34+ you still need some gear to effectively quad kite.
Cleric is not just plate, its DA/DB, Lull, Memblur, hp+ac buffs among other things. Can solo well in dungeons that tend to have higher ZEM. Way easier groups when you have time for them too. Ports are cheap thanks to abundance of druids.

You greatly underestimate cleric's ability to solo 1-50, especially in Classic era, they are a decent solo class. However 51+ is when wizzy shines as a solo class. Clerics can struggle to 54 but it's a pain.

Lol clerics are better solo'rs than wizard.

The retards on this forum, it's like YouTube comments come to life.

@op Troll Shaman is the way to go. And don't believe the idiots, It's one of the easier classes to solo in classic.

Explain your sarcasm in the face of the fact that one of the first 50's on green was a solo cleric.

A class that has fucking less DPS than a Paladin UNLESS ITS vs. UNDEAD (let that sink in) is now a decent solo class and better than a quad'ing wizard.

The retards on this forum never disappoint. Lol

Calm down Sandra, it’s a twenty year old emulator.

Mayhaps your class knowledge extends as far as your platinum could carry you on blue?

In how many +high % ZEM dungeons can a wizard effectively solo, split camps, utilize mem blur as needed and tank stuff while running for the entrance with DA/DB or channeling out gate? All a higher lvl wizzy does is quad in outdoor zones with a shitty ZEM. Only at 51 with Pillar of Frost does quad become overwhelmingly better than simply nuking some blue undead.

Troll shamans have 20% exp penalty, and there is NOTHING a barb shaman cannot solo that a troll (or even ogre) can.

I'm with you on the solo ability of a cleric and your conclusion that a barb shaman can do anything a troll can. But I disgree with the implication that a troll shaman isn't functionally superior to a barb one. Just because they can both solo the same things in theory doesn't mean troll regen isn't stupidly good or that a 20% exp penalty matters hardly at all (especially when barbs also have a 5% penalty).

Not superior but perhaps somewhat better mostly after lvl 51, prior to getting Torpor. Then the difference is very small again given both get the spell eventually from a drop or just buy it from someone.
Barb will have easier leveling due to better faction as well, not just lesser xp penalty. Those Splitpaw scroll quests in Qeynos were stupid easy xp 25-35, and only barb can do them for example.

Didnt the scroll quests get nerfed, along with most of the other exp turn-in quests?

I think a lot of shams are green are going to be "prior to getting Torpor" for a lot longer than they are expecting.
