Aye, tis true you can melee effectively, but, let me say that at lower lvls
myself and my necro love, were evenly matched, and at lower lvls i could out
melee him anyday. Now if we take on 2 critters at the same time , he always
finishes his first and with less damg. to himself. I have found that now
that i am above 20, i am best at healing and killing undead, and what that
other guy said in the other post is true, if yer a healer and you get into
the melee you will not be a sought after partner. I have many ppl always
/t'ing me to ask me to join-why? because I have finally gotten the art of
healing down pat. Art you say? Aye healing is a true art form, if a healer
is not doing their job the whole group will die, this is a garentee!!! I
have lost many a group member in the past and stil lose a few due to being
hit on, but I can tell you i love being a cleric and as such, will play the
role of the healer. |I do keep up my skills thou, when i am alone i do
nothing but melee, this all works well for me. What the other person said
is true thou, do what makes YOU happy, thou later in lvls you will only be
best suited for healing. HEY it's and ugly job but someone has to do it !!
LOL
