Should I Make a Human, Dark Elf or Gnome for Cleric?

I always found the Inni clickies overrated honestly. You really shouldn't be fighting live mobs solo, your non-Undead nukes are AWFUL.

In the end I'd always vote for Fashionquest. Most of your life as a cleric will be spent sitting there medding or (if you raid) counting between CHs. Which I suppose is a good argument for DE, since you can hide while doing it to avoid catching stray hands when somebody has a brain fart and pulls through the group.

For fear kiting live mobs you would actually melee. Like a Shaman, Clerics have access to a few decent ratio weapons like Poison Wind Censer. It's not amazing, but it's better than you would think, especially with JBoots and a good haste item. It opens up more camp possibilities like killing guards.

I can hardly imagine a more miserable experience.

It's really not bad. You would be surprised how well Priest classes can melee, at least 1-40ish.

Make whatever you’re happiest looking at.

For cleric little else actually matters.

Been there .. done that … went DE female cleric cause I like looking at it. Min/max be damned this class is really about levels/gear/spells/clickies over anything else and none of that is really race specific.

Min/max for this class matters not for 99.99% of gameplay

Aren’t ant potions in game now, so if you’re in an area you need to be tiny gnome isn’t so important?

While this is true, if you're an active raider it's easy to run out of potions. Being a gnome means you never even have to think about getting shrink cast, or buying (or recharging) potions.

As a Gnome Magician I smile every time someone gets yelled at for not being shrunk, or everytime the guild reminds everyone to get shrunk ... because I don't have to do jack [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think halfling sneak is the only real advantageous cleric racial trait. Since that wasn’t an option I’d go human inny. If you plan to mostly solo put points into CHA. Snare is nice to have and You’ll be using that deadeye clicky helm more than anything else.

I deleted my halfling cleric on blue to reroll dark elf. Sneak was great, but burynai robe with skull helm was just too beautiful. Mobs cruise by at 2mph to check me out (also they pass so slowly partially cos I snared them).

Dark Elf, fashion is the only thing that matters.

If you're a real tryhard, I guess go gnome for the tinkering and wallhacks, but then you have to look at a metal plated potato all the time.
