170 wisdom?!?! Ack...that has to be a joke for me.
With my base wisdom of 103 and me being fairly new,
the only way I will be able to get wisdom items is
from killing the mobs myself (which means I will have
to be fairly high to even get any good items)...Being
new I can't afford them items as of now; plus I hear
we clerics are very poor for a LONG while cause we
have to buy armor and spells...which so far seems to
be true. In all honestly did I do the right thing by
putting my strength up to 100 (I read a guide that
said I should so I could wear full plate) or should I
have just pilled all my points in wisdom?

P.S. Am writting from work so have a different email
address...
