looking for help with a Cleric 18 Monk 2 Build

[matsuwani]

I have never played a cleric and am looking for a decent build to work with. I would like to incorporate the monk splash for evasion, wind stance and I have really cool kamas (+5 Metaline pure good and +5 keen Silver) sitting in my bank.

I am looking at 18/2. I would like ot be a very strong healer and still be able to mix it up when needed.

I have searched the forums and haven't found anything that entices me. I am hoping that someone here with more knowledge can point me in the direction I wish to go.

Thanks

Oh yeah I have 32 point build if that helps

May as well go halfling and splash in a level of rogue? (check out the Valiance build).

That'll be the most rounded character option with a monk splash - taking the halfling backstabbing enhancements you should be able to do some pretty nice damage if you got a tank around.

He's a LOT of fun, not a great melee and not the best healer because of a rather shallow SP pool. I use a lot of scrolls to stretch my SP and do most of my raid-healing with Mass-Heal. For the most part I melee while healing which makes the game more fun and isn't that tough to do with a little practice.

Forget offensive casting other than Blade barrier, the ogres in titan make their saves against my insta-kills. This is a healer who melees.
