First off, in my twenties I can outdamage my cleric comrade in any melee
situation. Dual Wield does increas the amount of damage I can do
significantly. Once in their 20s Clerics are weak melee players, I just
wouldn't group with a burn and wack cleric, it's plain silly. In our group
(warrior, cleric, bard wizard) until recently it has been the warrior and I
tanking, the cleric medding and healing. Now it is the warrior tanking, me
singing AoE damage and getting wacked by mobs and healed by the cleric. The
warrior keeps the mobs off the cleric and the wizard and me if I get in
trouble. My cleric loves me for the down time I releive him of (with the
heal song) and I love him for keeping me alive *smiles*
