Question about healers!

"Is there a "best" race for a cleric? "

Halflings have access to both hide and sneak, with the tricks those skills provide, and also have a slight experience bonus. On P1999 this race is probably "best" at level 60.

High elves have extremely high starting wisdom, but are very weak. They're good for cleric players who like to wear cloth/leather.

Dwarves have the highest overall stats; in particular they have good strength and hence can carry the most loot from a group.

Dark elves have tolerable but unremarkable stats. Some people like the snare-click necklace they have access to.

Gnomes offer access to tinkering, but otherwise have poor starting stats for a Cleric.

Humans and Erudites are both adequate but unremarkable; there isn't really any particular reason to pick these races unless you happen to want to.

Human Cleric of Innoruuk can quest both the clicky snare and Erudite cleric items.

Dwarven clerics have the best personalities.

Dwarfs also get to jump and roll. The only race that can do that! And when you get good you can do it in reverse.

Awesome, I've decided on a halfling I think after a lot of consideration, the clicky necklace dosn't interest me, and I don't really like the look of dark elves! Plus for me, who has no higher level chars, the exp bonus would make this just a bit quicker, but by far the most important thing was Hide and Sneak, I think these will come in very handy.

So I started my female Halfling named "Quest", I don't know anything about clerics, some advice on cheap gear would be awesome if anyone has any suggestions! I want to get to grouping and healing as soon as possible! ^^

The other benefit is that cleric epic is 1) better and 2) easier to get than the druid epic.

You would be surprised how close you are

Sneak allows you to do faction quests or sell items to unfriendly merchants... which is really not that big of a deal when you're not an evil race anyway. It is certainly the least useful ability between Sneak, Hide, and 10% exp bonus. Hide I use constantly; it's the best racial in the game after frontal stun immunity.

However, I would still take Sneak over clicky Darkness, though I think that is a superb ability as well. Yet in the end I would rather be a Dark Elf than a Halfling, simply because of height considerations and playing in first person view. Dark Elves tend to look better in plate armor too.

Female DE's are so hawt.
