I'm sticking with 2 big guys up front, one being my imported character from BG1. The other being a Cleric.

While my 4 in the back all have spells and ranged weapons.

My fighter has no problems on the front line, he was made for it. However I'm having a problem finding a healer that can dish out that kind of front line damage.

Is there a stronger Cleric or healer other than Anomen? Crazy child killing ass.

The only other Cleric is Viconia, found in the Government district, if you save her. She is the best cleric, but will need strength boosting equipment to make her effective in the front line. Jaheira is also excellent as she is a dual fighter/druid, especially with ironskin and some of the clubs from the trademeet encounters.

Yeah, Jaheira or Viconia are great. Give Jaheira a good scimitar or two, give Viconia the girdle of hill giant strength, and they can both prove useful toe-to-toe (though it's wise to watch Viconia carefully; no matter how much strength she has, her HP will always be relatively low).
