Cleric or Paladin on Green

[sajbert]

Ignore Rimotto, he's just shitposting.

Both Cleric and Paladin are fine for grouping but you'll have an easier time with a Cleric finding groups I should think and having gate is just great overall.

Super geared pala can solo some plat camps, otherwise even worse soloer than cleric.

Two totally different experiences.

I'd say cleric though. Can group with literally anybody and can always use an extra one raiding.

Acquire DKP and use it on your paladin mega twink alt after you're "done" with cleric.

Cleric...BUT play it as a paladin. It's a TON of fun (especially pre-50, when you can easily main tank).

Pre 20 you are just as good as a paladin in terms of tanking + damage. And after that your buffs + damage spells mean you can still pull your own.

he didn't say playing cleric as a tank was the most efficient. He said it was fun. A lot of people play this game for fun, not to just race to 60 and log the toon off at the next raid target.

Cleric.

Max charisma + gear for charisma.

MVP build is human innoruuk or gnome bertoxx. I like gnome for vall vision. I like human for snare. Both can wear BiS robe.

Approach every single situation with the mindset of 'what can I do, so that I do not need to cast a heal'. Cleric's greatest strength is in the tools they have to not need to heal. Healing is inefficient in EQ. Clerics are the best class at the least efficient thing to do. Stopping damage from happening is in every single situation far more efficient than healing it. Pacify, Root, Atone, Stun, (and dare I say fear) are tools you have that stop damage from happening. You're also one of the easiest classes to stack AC on and have a pair of DA's, so being that person taking the risk play is pretty survivable.

Then get 60 and be bored because 'press 1 when it is time' is your life.

Make new cleric, repeat process.

Seconding that charisma is the way to go.

However why Bertoxx for a Cleric? Just ruins otherwise good faction (including being non-KOS in the hole). My main beef with gnome are the shitty stats, including poor charisma.

Solist would you recommend full cha on a fresh green server day 1 start cleric as well? Been thinking about that lately and can't decide on how to mix the two stats.

Also be prepared to play with the hoardes of terrible enchanters on p99.

Who wont let you do the same job they do; with the same spell; with an order of magnitude more survivability; while allowing them to freecast what they do best.

Or the ridiculous amount of monks that want to do 0dps, earning 0 xp collecting mobs in xp groups to then be CC'd that you can do while bringing in singles while they have 100% uptime on the only thing they bring to a group (dps).
