I am a bit of an altiholic. I have 8 characters (All but one at 20)

- Human PM
- Drow Exploiter build ranger(Will TR To Human after enhancement pass)
- Big Rock Candy Mountain build WF THF
- Rockin Robin build halfling dark monk
- Helf artificer focused on xbows, bb and rune arm (not a crafter)
- Classic Rocker build Warchanter Bard
- Evoker build FVS
- Caster build Druid

I am looking to use my 9th slot now rather than TR one of the above. I just finished TRing my PM and fizzled out at about 18 and 19. Now he's 20 again with EDs, but not looking for a TR right yet. I have access to all races and classes and will be starting him out as a 32 build.

So I've narrowed it down to 2 classes I want to play and I know they are both different.

1) I have always been intrigued by clerics. I love the RS Aura and bursts as a melee on the receiving end. However I am not sure I want to be solely a healer. On my FVS I like stacking dots and BB-ing trash. What I am bummed about is that my melee dps with sword and board kind of sux on him leaving me wonder why i even both melee-ing with him.

That leaves me with 3 options for cleric

a) Clonk - I have been reading about clonks since I rolled my first character, but still haven't made one. I always remember seeing them at lower levels, but then when I get to 20 (and now Epic Levels) I never see any. So that leads me to question if they are still viable at high and Epic levels.

b) Fighter splash - I've seen a few threads on these, but they are so spread out I never get a definitive answer on the best way to build one. S&B or THF. Plus since the AC changes I'm not sure which builds are viable.

c) Pure - Again though I don't want to limit myself to standing there and just healing all the time, I recognize that at some times it will be needed like on raids for the better or the party. That I'm ok with. However if for any of the two above I'm doing negligible melee damage anyways then I ask myself what's the point of splashing if I'm doing next to no dps when I could focus on just healing/casting.

2) Sorcerer - I've seen some really nice nuke 'em WF sorcs out there. I don't think I've ever posted damage close to one on any of my other characters so they intrigue me as well.

So I know I'm kind of all over the place. I'm hoping someone will take a look at my current builds and get a feel for what I like and help me make a decision. If it turns out the a cleric and a sorc both meet my needs and I can't decide I'll buy another slot and make two .

What I'm looking for is some builds. As mentioned I have access to all the packs, races and classes. I know some suggest human or HElf for cleric splashes so I can do those. I've love to hear some advice and pour through some builds in a single place, i.e. this thread.

Thanks in advance.
