My cleric is 2:1 END and STR and I mainly either solo or play with my wife's mage AOE'ing. I am only level 42, but so far I like it. When we AOE, I wear 2 +9END rings and when I solo I switch them out for the quest rings(+6STR/+4END), or just +STR rings would work well too. I like it, a cleric solo's slowly, but at least you can solo. I see fighters and archers and mages dropping all around me when I solo. Leveling up with my wife is pretty fast XP though, I usually pull 6 or 7 Bone imps and Hobs and we do fine, drink lots of mana potions, but the experience is wow.
Also, if you plan on soloing a lot. I think the whole key to soloing are the quests. in the mid-late 30's the quests are repeatable and give up around 7-10k XP(and usually uruga or elderine scrolls) which is like killing about 50 mobs(@200xp a pop). So when you level, grab a repeatable quest that is whithin your range( a cleric can solo yellows with no problem) and go crazy on it, head to town every time you finish the quest and you can rack up the XP very quickly. I remember living off of ghosts(7kXP+uruga scroll) and now hobs(7kXp quest) and bone imps.
