hi..I have a cleric which I greater reinarnated (32 point build) and then had to reincarnate again...(stuffed up)...and i have some questions before I yet again reincarnate...!

before I go on as stated above I have a 32 point build and ate a +3 tome (of everything) for the holidays...

I didn't take concentratin figuring I could leave quicken on - not realising quicken couldn't help with scrolls...so I have to reincarnate again...! (plus leaving on quicken is ouchy in the sp consumption...I don't mind buying and drinking pots but! ...(and yes let's not go there with the whole buying and consuming pots...)

I ate a +3 tome in general and wondered as that is the case what level I could start strength at if I reincarnate again? I took some points in strength becasue I didn't want to get burdened...what is minimum strength?

I took racial toughness one and two to improve hp...not having any specced gear (sheild with greater false life) and a medium gem of health have me with a hp of 379 at level 17. I believe being up towards the 400 is ideal. I hate grinding quests ...believe challanges are tasty armour but the challenges aren't why I joined ddo...I would get a simple hand held game and play matrix if I wanted to do something like challenges...any comments on improving hp in this way? and if not racial toughness how?

I also took some lines of prayer of smiting/prayer of life (doesn't work with rad serv? worth taking though??)/prayer of incredible smiting and prayer of incredible life (have to take this first for other lines to open up) and notice the boosts to my bursts...any comment?

I'm levelling for the first time and learning the game....I have vip and haven't covered all the content...I'm jumpin all over the place...just qualified for von5/6 but haven't done it yet...adq same...etc etc...so if anyone knows of a particular quest that will give me some gear that helps that would be fantastic....

currently I am...
strength 21 (+5)
dex17 (+3)
con 25 (+7)
int 11
wis (32 (+11)
cha 25 (+7)

I am wearing blindness immunity
cloak of night
minos legens (hat) - toughness heavy fort)
belt of seven ideals improved potency vii + spell penetration vii
wiz +6 char +6 (rings)
dex +6 (gloves)
ogre +6
+5 blueshine mithral full plate of ...(not important)
health +6 (necklace)

my necklace has a small gem of power (sp is at 1396) and I carry a sceptor of magi which I swap for a superior pot vi or greater pot vii once I have buffed then swap back again to shrine and buff....

I have feather fall striding and jumping boots which I swap depending on needs...

I check out items and look for guild slot opportunitites atm...any advice would be welcome...I have empower healing and maximise spell (always on for bursts)...empower spell heighten and quicken...set up to come on when I use offensive spells....but again wow...spell point consumption is ridiculous...I come across as a noob....5 mins into quest....um....? so a bit overpowered...should I keep some..alll of these feats...and if I use the last two on a spell which would u recommend? I solo'd a lot of earlier content and have to get used to playing with a group...I love healing and offensive spells (tab tab tab....caster threat....bang!)....group control spell to help mellees..maybe soundburst (empower heighten maximise)....or greater commmand (heighten)...healing bursts plus group heals ...aura...I have 13 turns...
I always go for banishment dismissal for outsider mobs as I can really get rid of most before the group start fighting...and can't help myself...am I trying to solo still though?

hope someone reads this and replies...any polite constructive criticism suggestions would be welcome...if u have your own axe to grind please start a new thread....

ivory...happy questing everyone...! I play on cannith...
