I'm not as confortible soloing with Angel. Sh'es my third string char and lacking in good weps. But Banishment and Desrtuction are definately nice.
The most fun I have with her is wehn I'm lucky enough to get in a group that does now need much healing. Then I'm able to let loose in other ways.
I'll never forget an STK run back when she was lvl 5.
The group got ahead of me someone how at the first ramp in prt 2, near the helm quest entrance........and they all died.
I had some festival cookies so I put on a cold fire shiield, ran up the ramp, threw down a disco ball, tosses a sound burst and a command and started beating up Hobgoblins and grabbing stones.
Someone said "Angel's good!"
Got them all to the shrine and felt real good about my Cleric.
Sadly one of my best memories of her was way back at lvl 5.
With the exception of some turn undeads (Yes, I can turn undead!)....her career since has been painful at least half of the time.
I do get a lot of comments about good healing though.....makes it better.
But so many groups don't even appreciate that.
"What do you mean OoM?! ...Don't you have some scrolls or pots?"
Actually, I have more fun with her when she is OoM. lol.
I did play my lowbie evasion cleric recently though, and another multi-classed cleric build......both of which I played healer, and it wasn;t too bad.
This thread has inspired me to give it another shot maybe.
