New to p99

[Relicstorm]

Hey guys . I've finally got ahold of EQ titanium, been wanting to come check out p99 ever since I started playing EQ TLP's. I recently quit playing on angarr when I was finally able to get ahold of eq titanium . I always have played a cleric or warrior as my main . I really love playing the warrior, but figured I should start with cleric to build up some pp to gear out my warrior. So I rolled a halfling cleric because I like the hide / sneak feature later on for xp grps and such . So I played for 3 hours last night ,and still lvl 1 . I die to every 2nd or 3rd mob i try to kill, and yes I'm fighting white cons , i dont remember clerics ever being this ruff to start out . Now my question is should i of rolled the warrior first, because obviously I'm gonna need some pp and or gear to start the cleric , because i just cant deal with the 10 deaths I had in the 2 hours of trying to grind out lvl 1 .or am I gonna run into the same predicament rolling a warrior .
