Any reasons left to go pure cleric?

I'm inspired to do 2x wiz lives after I finish this third cleric life. If I'm going to run a serious caster clonk I want to be the best I can be (and her webs should kick ass on those lives )

Like you plan, I TR'd my cleric into a wiz. I'm going to get at least one wiz life and one sorc life before going back to a cleric. I'm going to choose 18/2 clonk for the higher DC's. Should be fun if I make it. It's been ~2 months and I'm only lvl 13

The cold hard fact of this situation is, is that the ice puzzle is not being completed as intended by the devs; that's the bottom line, and that's why this needed to be changed.

It's been the standard way of doing ice for... 2 years? And in that time they've actually made several changes to the abbot raid. One of those changes was to specifically add water walking in there, since as we've seen every piece of water they want to be walked on has to be flagged individually or it can't be. Saying it wasn't intended to be that way is rather silly.

DI is still useful. place it on a tank, place it on yourself, keep peopel alive if something goes wrong. Besides that? Switching tanks.

Someone built up a lot of aggro on Lord of Blades and too few hitpoints left? The only way he's losing aggro is to wait until he does a special that resets aggro, or incap. DI works great for that.

besides that? Hell yeah there's good reason to go 20 cleric. When you get high enough DCs (Mine are only 39 because I don't have Litany yet and I'm in my first life, and is still useful) then Spell Pen is important. I'd hate to lose 2.

So when the devs created this raid having 3 puzzles, each of which needed people to work together to solve it, you think they intended to have 2 of the puzzles legitimately completed while the third just has someone swim to the other side? I don't think so at all. Just because the devs changed the raid but did not address the issue of DI doesn't mean it's working how they intended.
