and the other 10%.........GEMS GRAND MASTER

I wasn't taking you too seriously. I havent played this game in a very long time but i still remember the concepts enough not to be a retard and try to be a battle cleric lol.

Haha, well they do exist...its hard to say something in game, don't want to ruin anyone's enjoyment [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You have to be one hell of a Twink on here to be a Battle Cleric. Wrathbone Hammer is sometimes free in the Tunnel. I know I have probably given away 25 of them. No, sorry I have no more and don't go to CoM anymore. Pretty much just stay in EC and run back to the tunnel for buffs solo till like 10 and then start grouping the rest of the way. Even in Unrest hard to solo without good gear. So damn many Social mobs there and trains.

Like Swish said you pretty much sit on your butt the whole game as a Cleric. And get very little loot. Its a great class but not for everyone.

I just picked up a Sharkbone Warhammer for 100P pretty pleased with it. 8/28 with +5 Wis. Although my early success at going toe to toe with mobs is starting to dwindle.

It's the same with every class. For leveling up get 5/55 rings and a decent ratio wep first.

this man telling it like it is.

I would also add that the caster itemization for classic eq is horribly bad. If stuff made your buffs last longer or your nukes more efficient or your dots tick for more damage or your spells cast faster, it would actually matter. But for grouping an additional 25% mana won't make that much of a difference. So don't worry about it and level up to 46, then join a guild and get planes gear and your (extremely easy) epic that everyone wants to help with for a chance at a CoF. Epic+Full purple+Supple Scale Armband+Full Sky+black sapphire jewelry+5AC/55HP rings+cheap stuff in other slots will give you a cleric that's 95% as good as a BiS one like Elethia for 20k spent.

A deeper mana pool on a cleric can mean a group's survival over a wipe when shit is looking shaky, its an extra CH and then some if we're going by the 25% thing.

If your cleric is a dark elf (not sure about other races), look at the purple armor and then look at the cultural armor... there's no comparison there, cultural will set you free [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Haters hatin' :P

Within that I did some some duo work as well as a bunch of groups in Unrest/MM/Sol B and KC on the way up to 56.

Enough soloing to write a guide that anyone who wants to exclusively solo can do so, but that doesn't mean I have some anti-group mentality [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

KC is a prime example of needing a deep mana pool if you've got a below average puller or repops and no CC'er. Pro clerics stun any adds and move them away from the group and root them ghetto style if the DPS means that the first mob in the bunch isn't going to drop for 20-30 secs. Mana saved because you or the backup healer hasn't got to patch heal so much. Say what you like, a deep mana pool gives you more options/versatility.

Made a DE for this hide, oh nooooesss. hah

[Swish]

Hide will still be useful after the patch, with IVU up you can still cover both, right?...and DE clerics look twice as awesome in plate compared to any other race [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I only did it for the helm.
I bought a fine plate helm even though it has no stats... mainly because im poor but also because awesomeness.
