Most people tend to roll a soloing class like a necro to make money then roll an alt down the road. Rolling a ranger regardless of preference in this case is a hell of a challenge. Necro would be more interesting than the cleric, for certain.

Cleric v Necro is an odd choice. One is the most efficient general soloer and arguably and situationally the most powerful, albeit with lots of utility - whereas the other is a nearly entirely group-dependent class with very little individual power.

I could understand halting between Necro and Mage, or Necro and Enchanter...But Nec/Clr are entire opposite sides of the spectrum.

Ultimately you need to play whichever you'd enjoy more. Just remember there are like a billion necros on this server, and clerics are nearly always in demand.

I am sure someone will PM ya with information on where you can attain a copy of titanium.

I don't need to know "how to play a cleric" - I just need to know the relative hp of mobs you would likely solo at each level, and a clerics ability to do damage.

You go ahead and solo - i'll bet you level 3-5 times slower than a necro/druid/wizard/mage/shaman of the same level.

So go ahead and root-nuke some undead (or even living, in some cases) mob to death then med for 4-6 minutes. If that's how you define "not group dependent," fine. I disagree, unless you have a pocket chanter.

But the good money says most clerics didn't level that way.

^this

Root'n'nuke. Especially undead. Since root is so strong on this server, you can solo pretty easy with a cleric. On live it was not the case for a long time until they added the self DS and weapon proc that heals the cleric. Once they did that it was game on.

No joke I was just reminiscing about this while I was drivin to get lunch a couple hours ago. Pullin crypt of decay with a group of afk 50somethings and watching them all ding almost every pull, oh man good times. And all those nasty weapons clerics ended up getting!!!

hmm.

If I did end up making a cleric, there's a good chance that i can drag a friend along,sense he was a long time player,too (though on different servers).

So would a cleric be paired well with a warrior/tank class or would something like a mage/necro be better? It will probably never be boxing,sense i tend to hate such things [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's also not allowed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Most groups rely on cleric/tank/cc/dps/dps/dps setups so having the core tank and cleric is good but you'll be limited on what you two can do alone.
