You will be able to chop through any mob till you get your BB and at that point you can use a para kama in one hand and a Vorpal in the other and still rip though the mobs fairly quick. I ran a str based pure cleric Before I tr'd to my current lvl 16 Clonk and I must say the Clonk is so much funner. I can survive in the melle portion of the battle letting my aura do most of the healing. If I don't have my buddies with me I can run the mobs trough my BB to almost insta kill them (very few mobs at level can enter and exit my BB and survive.) And when I say survivability I mean I sometimes forget to heal others since I am right next to them and not taking damage while they are getteng torn up. Gotta love evasion and High AC.

There are two down sides to this build. Staying centered gives me a +10 Jump with my bracers plus increased mellee speed so I try to do that. Plus there are many bonus' with other stances like some DR in mountain stance which has saved my hide a few times. That means I can only use Kamas, staffs and hand wraps. Kamas are the only choice I have if I want a casting weapon in my offhand. All the named divine items do not seem to fit this build like lorics shield or the scepter of healing. Now I have a high crafting level and this is a TR that had some loot already but even with that gear has been an issue to an extent. Yet I will admit I probably run an odd setup and this may not be an isue for otherplayers who rn more cookie cutter.

The second dawback is the low SP. Those BB cost 75 points a pop if I want them to 1 hit a mob. If u guys tend to run alone that isnt too big of an issue as you can both bring hires with DV and keep you charged up and if you ever do get it high enough to do raid healing you will just need to do heals only and you should be fine. That a few rechrge clickies and some scroll you should have no trouble raid healing anything and can even assist in damage with DP.

Any way thats my opinion, If you like it I can post the details of the build and how you can make it work for a first life.
I would like to see the build to have an idea of how it works, if you don't mind posting it that is.
