Ok, have a cleric, but I all of those dang buffs seem confusing!
Is there any place (url) where there is a cleric buff guide.

DAOC Catacombs Cleric Spell List

Most buffs are in the enhancements line, though there is one in Smiting.

Any spells that have a power cost are timed buffs, others are conc buffs. You can cast up to 20 conc buffs, though you may run out of conc before you hit that limit.

Also, you'll get two versions of buff spells - the highest and the next highest available to you. You can use some of the lower level buffs if you're running out of conc, but haven't hit the 20 limit.

Also worth looking at the Catacombs character builder and the Classes of Camelot site.

Buff clerics are fairly crap.
Smite Clerics are nerfed to hell.

Which leaves being a rejuv cleric, which is loved by the masses.
You'll never have problems finding a group with a rejuv cleric.

I put about 4/5 of my points into rejuv and most of the rest into Enhanc and a very few points into smite.

First off, the only (well probably 90%) buff line clerics are buffbots on peoples second accounts. Yeah everyone loves a Rej cleric, yet they expect someone else to roll and play them, sure you great in groups, sure you'll get owned by green con stuff.

Smite cleric are great fun to play, at later levels your stuns can mean 3 less hits on your tanks at the begining of fights, and you can protect the casters at the back with your aoemezz or aoeDD (as long as there no other agro). Healing is good but if you have to do too much you get too much agro, and if your doing the sort of healing that pulls agro then the group is failing to work effectifly. You die and then group dies because you was the one keeping them alive.
Soloing undead (and theres a lot of undead in alb) is easy, chaining blue or yellow with little down time, I've even soloed a Red in burrows, though only did it to see if it was possible.
The nerfing of Smite suited me fine (appart from the 5min timer on mezz), means i can put more into buff and heal. if you plan to be a smiter just makesure you get those instent heals. There the only healing you'll be able to pull off in RvR anyway.
