Switching to red, cleric question

[keyz]

Cleric rankings:

1. Gnome Bertox for size and disease clicky dot. Wall sight. Robe.
2. Gnome Brell for size and cultural--not a good deity if new on red unless transferring massive amounts of blue plat. Wall sight. Robe.
3. Halfling--size and sneak secondarily to help in dungeon pvp and pve. No robe.
4. Human Bertox for disease clicky dot. Robe. See invis helm, fear mask.
5. Dwarf Brell for cultural armor with wis and MR but as with gnome cost prohibitive. Medium size. No robe.
6. Human/Erudite evil--Bertox or Inny gives you access to see invis clicky without too much faction work on human. Might be possible to faction on a good deity, but no point that I know of. Snare necklace is a joke and not worth it. Fear mask situational--can fear pets in dungeons without spell swapping. Quested shield is ok if 1st red char, but no long term benefit. Robe.
7. High Elf Tunare ranked near the bottom until Velious where clicky root and quested PoG items will move this ranking up. Robe.
8. Dark Elf--can't think of anything good except hide which might get you out of a jam occasionally before you can afford invis pots. Robe.

Gnome overshadows all clerics on pvp server due to size since you can hide easier and won't be noticed as soon as other clerics. Sure gnome has worse stats, but avoiding damage is worth more than better stats. Bertox best deity so you can dot yourself with the necklace to stop mezzes, at least until you run into an enc with cure shield. Also will save some money, inventory room, and time on resupply runs buying crimson pots.

See invis right click helm is nice short to mid term for human and erudite clerics when starting off new and you don't have the money for boh, but eventually you will get one so long term benefit is negligible.

Is that true though? I honestly don't have great insight, so really just asking. But the helm doesn't require a target. Wouldn't it be easier to use as an extra instant click junk buff?

Clearly have to be female high elf for that sweet velious bracer, as high elf male plate looks retarded.

I got no problem going gnome but its not like shrink and crimson pots cost that much nor will you go through so many you're spending half the time restocking. You're gonna have to carry a couple of crim pots anyway since the disease cloud clicky has a 4 second casting time.

And the biggest advantage to gnomes (being able to see through walls ducking/sitting) wasn't mentioned.

For items, this wiki page is pretty well done:

Added wall sight.

While it's true that every race can shrink, gnome is always shrunk for every pvp encounter. Yes you will want the instant cast crimson pots, but necklace is going to save you pots and you can start every fight with a dot on you, no wasting or guessing if you need one or not.

If you don't mind spending the money and keeping plenty of pots in your bags, sure go dwarf brell or HE tunare.

no, all human/erud clerics end game use helm > boh

helm is 100x > boh for the simple fact that its self-only (no self target required) and is basically free versus 10k

Keyz has a great informative post, other than that comment regarding the Deadeye helm.

I think its worn? maybe its a clicky either way short race > see invis item since BoH is a thing

[keyz]

Helm and boh have to be equipped to be clicked so you are giving up a strong slot if you chose to wear helm over a t crown, where bracers aren't nearly as good of a slot. No target self clicky is pretty nice though.
