Correction: clerics are a gimped version of undead wizards, and are by no means powerful soloers. Wizards EXP by quad-kiting, which is a somewhat fast method of EXP (though still beat out by bard kiting, enchanter/druid charming, and magician/necromancer pet-utilizing methods), and they have Harvest, which despite its cooldown contributes nontrivially to their average mana regen. Clerics have single-target undead nukes that are about as efficient as Wizard single-target nukes (which one is actually more efficient varies by level). This means they EXP a lot slower than wizards, who already EXP slower than five other classes. They also have lulls and heals, which are nice, but certainly don't make them faster than quad-kiters.
In short, the statement that clerics are "immensely powerful" undead soloers is hyperbole. They can manage, but they're slower than every other caster class, i.e. not very good.
