Hide has saved me more times than I can count, just make sure to con a mob after you hide.

Also DE's look cooler, our city is better, we worship the god of Hate and we may be kos everywhere, but it's more like you're an outlaw (cause were badass).

Bear in mind that the DE quested snare item is only effective at low levels. It gets resisted to the point of uselessness at a pretty low level. At least it was on live. Halfler sneak/hide is a huge boon.

I would say Halfling - sneak/hide, small race, exp bonus are all great positives.

Biggest down side to a halfling cleric is being asked for SoW or ports your entire career.

Dark Elf - if you like playing an evil race.

Dwarf - Best for min/maxing stats, dorf roll.

Dwarfs get "barrel roll"

I usually think dwarves are the best.
Gnomes look cool in the plate armor
I like halfling too because they get hide and the xp bonus.

For the PvP server though I like dwarf. Yeah wis stuff is easy but on a PvP server you play in your resist gear almost all the time. Hide is pretty important though because lots of time people don't have see invis on and you can disappear from them.

Not to mention Dwarves get innate MR bonus I believe.

Dwarves are one of the best non-ogre/troll/iksar races.

Dwarf is statistically best. None of the other races have any valuable advantage, just largely useless gimmicks, and playing a plate class whose gear doesn't give strength is pretty hellish if you're a weak race. Since you're asking what's best, you're obviously not too concerned about aesthetics and roleplay, so the absolute answer is dwarf. Good wisdom, highest stamina, highest strength, no disadvantages.

If I had it to do over again, Bubbles would be a halfling no doubt.

They are just dang cuter, really.

From a min / max perspective, you need to look at the combined 4 main attributes of relevance to a cleric: (STR / STA / AGI / WIS)

STR - it's just.. amazingly necessary with all the plate you'll be wearing. You can go around with low STR if you never want to loot anything.. ever.
STA - HPs are good, 'nuff said.
AGI - helps with dodge and avoidance a touch. <75 = annoying AC penalty
WIS - mana. yep.

DE - 65 / 70 / 90 / 93 - Total 318
ERU - 65 / 75 / 70 / 93 - Total 303
GNM - 65 / 75 / 85 / 77 - Total 302
HUM - 80 / 80 / 75 / 85 - Total 320
HLF - 75 / 80 / 95 / 90 - Total 340
HIE - 60 / 70 / 85 / 105 - Total 320
DRF - 95 / 95/ 70 / 93 - Total 353

Clearly Dwarf and halfling are heads above the competition. In this comparison.

If we want to remove AGI from the equation:

DE - Total 228
ERU - Total 233
GNM - Total 217
HUM - Total 245
HLF - Total 245
HIE - Total 235
DRF - Total 283

Dwarf is now an even clearer winner, although keep in mind a dwarf starts at 70 AGI and needs 5 to avoid an AC penalty.

Probably the one biggest boost to High Elves is they will have far, far closer to 200 WIS in full resist gear if you are interested in raiding.

But for situational every day grinding, dwarves and halflings are going to have the most utility.
