Yeah, this would be real easy for a cleric? You think wizzies are hard to solo, try a cleric's life. At least you have decent nukes against non-magic resistant mobs. I guess, I could try healing myself and meleeing him down at 16 pts per round. Of course, I'd die, when I ran out of mana, and he still was 80% life. There are a few classes that don't solo well, yours and mine top the list. However, they are also most sought after in a group. If you want to solo some, start a mage, necro or druid, and save the wizzy for groups, where his power shines.
Oh wow, you could not be any further from the truth. Granted against this mob you may have a point, but clerics are awesome at soloing. You just have to be a little more creative.
Firstly pick undead...those spells are much better (mana/dmg ratio). Your DD's against normal mobs are nice, but you will go oom very quickly.
Secondly, if you were smart enough to pick a Dark Elf, get the Innoruuk symbols (neck piece - guild quest). The lvl 30 line of this necklace has a darkness spell. Take that and your fear spell and you can fear kite Specs around Oasis till you are almost lvl 50.
Thirdly ROOT, BLAST, BLAST, ROOT, BLAST, BLAST. (if in trouble blind) Yes build up melee skills, but lets be realistic now, the day a cleric (without top end weapon) kills an xp giving mob using a hammer/staff only, is far off.
A cleric is not as easy to solo as say a nec or a monk, but please don't make clerics seem as if they are worthless without a group.
