Heh.. if you are playing for Stats, the best race by far is the Dwarf. Dwarven Clerics are pretty easy to max out, but also a dime a dozen. I agree that you should play the race you want to play... if you are a power gamer, i guess every cleric you create will be a Dwarf. I chose a high elf because that was what I wanted to play. You have to consider the RP that you want to show Norrath, rather than whether your dexterity is 75 or 90... (or whatever number you wanna look at).
