You must stick to very easy groups if this is your only level of analysis. The reason more mana is good is when things get hairy you have a reserve to fall back on and save the day.

The sooner you reach the wis soft cap, the sooner you can start stacking +mana and +hp.

It depends what race

There are only 2 viable Cleric races in the game. Each have decent base CHA. The other races have bad starting CHA and/or a stat penalty you have to waste points on (Erudite)

The following races are the only viable Cleric Races.

High Elf (Best starting CHA but you will be eternally encumbered which sucks really really bad. They are also the worst character model in the game. They look like tall goofy albino Charlie Browns)

Human (Good starting CHA and STR (The best Cleric Race)

Wisdom is trivial to cap in this game because EQ is loaded with items that have a lot of Wisdom. You can completely ignore putting points into Wisdom at character creation (except Gnome) - It won't matter at all

At character select choose Human. Put all your points into CHA. Rest into Wisdom. Choose Innoruuk as your Deity. Poopsock Guise while you still have time.

Otherwise don't bother rolling a Cleric

Dwarves are the worst possible choice (55 base CHA or something. People thought dwarves were good when we didn't know that CHA is the best stat in the game period. Times have changed)

Gnomes are garbage (bad starting CHA. For Enchanter this doesn't matter since CHA items for ENC are plentiful and cheap. Gnomes have Bad starting Wisdom however which means you have to choose one or the other as far as maximizing your effectiveness)

DE have decent wisdom but bad starting CHA. You could get by with a DE, but IMO you need to start at the very minimum with 100+ CHA. DE just fall short. Your poor choice can be excused however because of fashionquest. Dark Elves are by far the best looking Cleric Race in the game and there is nothing wrong with starting at a DE female in Gatorlegs for hours everyday

Erudite aren't bad but you have to waste 5 starting points into AGI just so you don't get hit like a wet paper bag

Halfling - Bad starting CHA and you are a Halfling

Make the right choice - Human Cleric of Innoruuk

You're Welcome
