I Never played a cleric.

[Elixxer]

Well, the name says it all.

I have never played a cleric and would be interested in holding some players life's in my hands (such as the ones who are idiots and bring full mobs at you on elite...) hehe... anyways.

What does turning do? am I really going to need to spread out my points?

Do clerics get good AC or should I take monk and go robes? be like a cleric monk tank(?) for soloing? like 10/10 idk just a thought.

Can clerics become strong with dps? or are they supposed to kill monsters slowly? bashing off finger by finger.

Also any other tips will be greatly appreciated!!

Turning is TURN UNDEAD. Basically you are channelling the your god(s) spirit and will into destroying undead.

In DDO it isn't too effective, especially at high levels. After about level 7--garbage.

HOWEVER:

Clerics get Divine Enhancements (so do Pallys). THese items allow you to turn your TURN into something useful, Like Divine Light does a radial damage to all undead, or my personal favourite: Divine Vitality, that gives mana back to casters.

This is all dependant on your CHA score. THe higher the CHA score, them more turns you get.

with turning you can fear or even kill undead monsters. this works pretty well in lower levels, but later on it won't work anymore. you have a certain number of turning attempts per rest, depending on your charisma modifier. using enhancments you can also use your turn attempts to do other stuff, such as heal over time, heal some sp, cure poison and diseases, deal some damage to undead.
if you don't care about turning you can dump charisma as a cleric.
