Switching to red, cleric question

[mtneer985]

Thanks for all the info, makes the decision tougher. I was also recommended a human inny cleric because of paineel quests and snare neck.

there's absolutely no reason to make a high elf anything, unless you're a fire giant.

I'm planning on switching from blue to red this weekend and want to roll a cleric. I'm torn between dwarf and dark elf. Does hide provide enough of an advantage to overcome the stats/faction of dwarf on red? Should I consider other races on red?

Thanks, look forward to starting on red.

I am partial to Dwarf because I too made this choice.

Gnome: Short = good for pvp and can see through walls. Bertox deity provides a click Disease Cloud which can make your group immune to charm unless cured. Can wear Robe of Azure Sky. Arguably the best for pure pvp considerations.

Dwarf: Short but not as short for pvp. Best starting stats for cleric. Dwarven cultural armor gives +wis/+sta/+mr/+fr in every slot. Another good pvp choice for stacking MR.

Halfling: Sneak/Hide and exp bonus. Getting groups and serverwide exp bonus make leveling easy so the latter should not be a consideration.

Dark Elf: Hide is not going to be consistent. It is only a marginal ability. You're also going to have strength problems carrying plate early on. Can wear Robe of Azure Sky

High Elf: Good wisdom but like DE will have strength problems. Can wear Robe of Azure Sky.

Human: Balanced stats. No advantages. Can wear Robe of Azure Sky.

Erudite: Bad stats. No advantages. Can wear Robe of Azure Sky.

I recall on Live, as a Dwarf warrior worshipping Brell, I came into PoG initially dubious. But like all things players swear to it will be up to dev's discretion.

Thanks for all the information. I think I'm going to go dwarf since I'll be pretty casual and the cultural armor would probably be the best I'll be able to get.

I look forward to starting on red and hope for a more group oriented experience with the bonus. On blue it feels like everyone in the zone is soloing.

[Kabobtik]

been playing a cleric the last day and a half, solo'd the whole time, no one around to group. Hope this is not your exp on red. GL in your venture

You will need to solo until you can make your way to somewhere like CB or Unrest.
