I just unlocked 32pt builds and am doing a melee character. A friend is getting the game and joining to duo with me. He typically plays healers, but enjoys some offense sometimes. DDO cleric should be perfect. I want him to do full UMD and may as well get Evasion. Clerics can buff their saves several ways anyway. He wants to lean towards being caster-like. Not a battle cleric. He will be a human.

I know JACK about clerics.
I hesitate to even begin.

Rogue 1. Cleric to 8 or 9 before rogue2, dump extra points in balance?

Stats something like... ?
10str
10dex
14con
10int (10int human cleric = 3 skill points. UMD2, Concentration1)
18wis
8cha


Feats?
Human Bonus: -- ?? --
1 -- ?? --
(Maybe do rogue at 2, since it limits feats so heavily at lv1?)

3 Extend
6 Heighten
9 Maximize
12 -- ?? --
15 -- ?? --
