I currently have a level 76 cleric who has beat hell with a legit party. Here is the stuff that I have learned.
20 HB
20 Prayer
5 Meditation
20 FotH
20 Blessed Hammers
1 Salvation
The All-HB build has done me quite well, at about 6000 damage a shot it kills pindle in about 10 shots on players 1, and am still getting +skills to get that even higher. The amazing ~300 heal is also quite well, and mana is never a problem unless I switch to Salv for the tough elemental attackers.
Everybody loves me in the party, the necro's/sorc kept making me change to meditation for the huge mana regen and everyone loved that +300 hp every couple of seconds means unless we are going against Gloams most the time everyone was pretty safe.
Such a rush when you have to keep everyone at full hp, essp when you have to run around summons. You really have to look at where everyong is in the group unless in a couple shots they will die.
Holy Bolt is NOT the perfect meat shield though, it is very very good, but when one guy is being hit by a lot of different things at once, he WILL die, as HB seems to be a bit laggy.
If I was to do it again, I would not max out prayer until late in the build, and get maxed Hammers/FotH before I do. Killing UD is one of my main priorities ad it really does do its job. I think a cleric would be great at doing pindle runs, even just for the exp because it is one of the only places where all UD hand out.
One very odd thing I noticed is that merc's do not get med aura and neither do any other summon even though it should give +life, perhaps the prayer effect only works for the player using it? Also, here is something that I think only works with prayer. +skills do work with prayer for meditation, so if you get a level 50 prayer you will get that much from meditation, I do not know of this is a bug or what though.
