Clerics can easily beat any pure type caster class of their same level.
All you have to do is cast stun/ and the best offensive spell at your
level.
What i typically do is stun the chaster, then run behind them quickly at
an angle, then start nuking them. When they unstun they take some time
to turn around to look for you, when you notice this, stun them again.
It really works well. I havent dueled too much but i'm 9 and 1 vs casters
in duels.
