I also agree with this, being a lvl 26 cleric even i find it close to
impossible to solo anything.....now that i have the Dismiss spell i can take
a low blue dry dones out without difficulty, but soloing is just not a real
choice for clerics.....find yourself a good tank preferrably a Ranger,
paladin, or warrior IMO that is a few lvls higher than you <so taunt works>
and the Creatures don't pound you too hard.....very hard for a lower level
tank at times to get a beasts attention especially undead after you have
unloaded a world of hurt on them.
