1hb at 16 and my Cleric at 37 = Me not happyFollow
2 posts
My cleric is level 37 and I want to be able to solo the beach in Gulf of Gunthak. I need a speedy way to get my cleric's 1hb skill above 16, yes I said sixteen. I tried buffing myself and meleeing a will - o - wisp with a rusty weapon(since you have to have a magic weapon to do damage to them) for an hour witout my skill rising once. I have tried to melee almost every green thing that I see with no advance. If you know a way to get my skill up I am all ears.

You can't gain skillups on anything less than a light blue, methinks.
correct, can't skill up on greens.
3 ways I can think of. Find a mag/beastlord with Pet Hold, duel them, and smack on pet. heard this may have been fixed though.
find undead that are blue, fear them, smack em while they run from you.
just smack stuff while in groups, which may not be feasible though

Light blues will be very meagre on skill-ups. Need Dark Blue really.
The pet duelling thing was still working a month or so back as I know someone who used it.
Your best bet is to find a friend or friends who will help. A meleeing cleric in a pickup group can cause concern. With these friends get your DEX buffed as high as you can and assist the tank just like a regular melee.
At 37 your summoned hammer is not particularly wonderful so try and find something fast, damage is irrelevant.
While fear kiting undead may sound feasible it doesn't work well(except for DE Clerics) because you have no Snare and no SoW. Hit a skellie with an undead fear and it takes off like an express train. Apart from the risk of adds you will have a hard time keeping in melee range and doing much damage.
With the right partner you can work on this. A shaman can give you a slowed mob to tank head on and root it off when you need to heal up. A paladin can tank while you melee and then either of you can root off and heal if needed.
I maxed mine in groups of guildies where there was excess healing (It was a farming expedition for TS components) and nobody minded the mad cleric.

My 53 magi had his piercing at around 70-80 when I as fear kiting in Dulak with my wife's Necro. All the decent camps were taken, so we ended up just duoing Stormwave (? Boat #1) until something better opened up, and hoping for the captain to spawn. I had gotten KEI in a MGB in PoK, so my mana was overflowing, causing me to grab my Putrid Fish and starting to inflict some serious damage (you know, 1 ... maybe 2 points) on the pirates. ;) Now, with the Jumpalot's haste and base delay of 19 on the fish, it took me less than an hour to get my piercing up to 104, and another hour to get it up to 110 (max for INT casters, last I heard).
The moral of the story: speed is everything, necro fear kiting anything will allow you to skill-up, and never underestimate the inexorable fury of a magician with pink robes, boots, gloves ... and a purse. He's so pretty.

I remember back in the pre-Luclin days (no C3) when you still had to med in the book, and the pre-50 hells were around...
Quad-kiting in East Wastes, with mediocre gear, and no mana regen. Needless to say, quite often I ran out of mana and the shizzle hit the fan. Quite a few times I'd be left with a mob at 2% or something, standing still (runaway mode + snare) and me out of mana. Break out the dagger and poke away. I think all my melee skills are maxed but 2hb and hand-to-hand on my wizard =D
btw, that was just a pointless story I felt like sharing.
As far as building your skills, find something with low delay, get your dex up, and swing away on something blue+. Or, get some plat, and visit your local cleric trainer and use up all those (probably) unspent practice points. It'll start costing once you pass 19.

for my cleric, i had a friend snare a tundra kodiak in eastern wastes... you know that slot where you zone in from GD... i had her fear it while i melee'd it, and then when it was low life, she charmed and i healed it (and myself a bit)... then she'd invis so charm would break... rinse, repeat... was boring work, but she foraged tufts of dire wolf fur and we chatted with guild a lot... note: i had to nuke it to get aggro off her... snare and charm both create a lot of aggro for squishy druids... never once had an add from the rest of the zone except from the lvl 22 warrior who trained all of the FG's in the zone to us... i'd like to thank him personally for surprising us with his train...

I went to the trainer and trained it up to 104. I didn't realize that you could go up that high never have used the trainer for anything but tradeskills, but if he wanted to give me the skillups I just gave him the plat.
