Cleric or Paladin on Green

[Solist]

Cleric.

Max charisma + gear for charisma.

MVP build is human innoruuk or gnome bertoxx. I like gnome for vall vision. I like human for snare. Both can wear BiS robe.

Approach every single situation with the mindset of 'what can I do, so that I do not need to cast a heal'. Cleric's greatest strength is in the tools they have to not need to heal. Healing is inefficient in EQ. Clerics are the best class at the least efficient thing to do. Stopping damage from happening is in every single situation far more efficient than healing it. Pacify, Root, Atone, Stun, (and dare I say fear) are tools you have that stop damage from happening. You're also one of the easiest classes to stack AC on and have a pair of DA's, so being that person taking the risk play is pretty survivable.

Then get 60 and be bored because 'press 1 when it is time' is your life.

Make new cleric, repeat process.

Also be prepared to play with the hoardes of terrible enchanters on p99.

Who wont let you do the same job they do; with the same spell; with an order of magnitude more survivability; while allowing them to freecast what they do best.

Or the ridiculous amount of monks that want to do 0dps, earning 0 xp collecting mobs in xp groups to then be CC'd that you can do while bringing in singles while they have 100% uptime on the only thing they bring to a group (dps).

bla bla bla

Seconding that charisma is the way to go.

However why Bertoxx for a Cleric? Just ruins otherwise good faction (including being non-KOS in the hole). My main beef with gnome are the shitty stats, including poor charisma.

[Solist]

Doesn’t ruin any factions except brell and the hole. Which is largely irrelevant. I’m free to move throughout the hole without issue with 220cha at 60 let alone with a pot or buff. Bertox ain’t hated everywhere. Human inny probably most accessible faction race combo in game tho.

Bertoxx for mana free aggro clicky which is a handy pulling item when you have chance of bolt LOS with ragefire bracer. Only lose 6cha swapping a neck out compared to 11 or 13 on a wrist whatever matchless is. Just a 9th spell gem mainly though is all. Cumbersome having dispel or strike memmed.

Clerics are great, go cleric!

Solist would you recommend full cha on a fresh green server day 1 start cleric as well? Been thinking about that lately and can't decide on how to mix the two stats.

[sajbert]

If you go a low wis class like gnome with all cha you'll struggle for mana in Classic. I doubt it'd affect grouping but soloing could suck, for instance not sure you'd have the mana to nail specters at relevant levels. Soloing in guk would be a lot harder too if not impossible, unless maybe you could get your hands on a Dawnfire.

To me cha at day 1 seems worth any possible struggle though if you go the distance and get guise and firepot bind for a main character cleric.

High Elf Max Charisma is the way to go (Cleric)
