Default Playing a battle cleric is fun as hell

Always wanted to give this a try, and its been more fun than I thought. If you always wanted to play a pally but hate the penalty, try a cleric instead.

Get yourself some regen and a nice weapon and some plate armor, and go bash some freaking skulls in.

About to hit level 23 and its nice and steady exp. Who says clerics need to heal.

On live I occasionally found myself in a group with two clerics and no tank. I remember one night pulling and tanking efreetis for hours (not saying I tried Djarn). Load up three single target stuns and you got no trouble keeping aggro and the damage down to an acceptable level and the stuns are very low mana spells, you can cast them repeatedly for quite some time. It was occasionally a great change of pace when you couldn't put together all the 'right' classes for a perfect group.

So not only can you solo a bit (that will go away soon unfortunately) you can actually tank for a group in a pinch.

believe it or not clerics can take a hit and do way more than just sit on their ass and do nothing - - i mean ffs they wear plate - - no need to bitch about taking a single fucking hit or gating away when a bunch of mobs come into camp when you should be root/stun ccing

I remember being able to solo well into the 30's when I had to solo without going against undead so you should go further against undead mobs.

Also I almost always ended up being the puller as a cleric in a group since hardly anyone knew how to pull properly back in 1999. I do remember monks would always pull who knows how many mobs (they never knew) and then try to FD at the clothies feet so no one wanted monks in their group!

They cant take a hit, because you have fuck all defense/dodge, no ripost/parry/block, and AC means nothing here so wearing plate is a misnomer.

Yeah honestly I think the worst thing about clerics is the way people play them half the time, some plate wearers absolutely panic when they get any agro because they are in a role based mentality at all times, just because you play cleric doesn't mean you get to sit and become useless oom, work on your 1 handing or something, lol.

Sorry, biased warrior, always see crouching clerics.
