Hello! I am a newbie in an RPG genre. And i am completely stuck in the Luculla forest. Goblins and spiders constantly tear me apart. I think one of the problems is a my second main character. 10lvl male Cleric. I find him completely useless. Probably i shouldn't tried to create a hybrid class (paladin style) character, as his melee and magic powers are very weak both. I don't know in which direction should i lead his level-up...

His stats are

Strength - 11 (3 from Gear)
Dexterity - 5
Intelligence - 7
Constituion - 9 (1 from gear)
Speed - 7
Perception - 5

Weapons

2 on Single-handed (and that probably a mistake, i find two-handed Madora musch more useful)

Defence

Arm. spec -2
Shield spec/ - 3 (1 from gear) (meh... it's lame, shield is not so good in blocking to prefer it to two-handed...) I don't know, should i drop shield and develop two-handed or dual-wielding?
Willpower - 1(1 from gear)
Bodybuilding -2

Skills

Aero - 1
Hydro - 1
Man At Arms - 2

I don't know is better to invest in melee as he is 11 str. with gear or try to make him more a battlemage? But as far as he using heavy armor his movement is very bad also. Lvl 1 spells are useless against many enemies in Luculla.

Also.

Blasmith. - 1
Crafting - 4
Telekinesis - 3 (i find it useless too)
Lore - 2

I will be glad to hear what can i make with a most useless member of the party. First i thought Cleric will be able to use a lot of healing spells. But healing from hydro and cure wounds from man-at-arms are not so effective as i thought to be, and because of cooldown he is not near the position of main healer of the party, his one-handed + shield melee attacks are weak and his magic spells are weak also, he is also very slow because of heavy armor. I don't know what to do with him, if he was not a main character, i will rather drop him.
