After taking a multiple month hiatus, I'm looking at building a new character after the new mod comes out. I've played a healbot, and still have him but am interested in possibly a battlecleric.

Now my experience is that battleclerics, heck my healbot cleric, are powerful at melee during the low levels but seem to even out at mid-levels. Quite honestly I would expect battleclerics become more and more like healbots but I don't know. So what I'm interested in are comments from players who played battleclerics and quit at some point and the reason they did so... I don't want a flamefest... but rather the facts please.

And thanks in advance.

BTW, if you would rather pm me, please do so...
