I actually haven't used Turn Undead very much. I'm not high enough level to destroy them, so it's most useful upon entering crypts where a whole bunch of undead rush the party. I've been using Entangle, Grease, and Web to reduce the damage.

Mostly I'm taking damage in 3 ways:

1) I'm playing on insane, so hits on my tank do quite a bit of damage. Hits also seem to come fairly frequently, despite Protection from Evil, Chant, Curse, etc.

2) Skeleton Archers - generally I try to have them notice me then draw them around a corner to meet The Maces. Every so often the archers hit the decoy. Unavoidable.

3) Apparently Detect Traps does not work on objects, but just on the floor. I've stood in front of boxes and tombs that I know are trapped, but nothing doing. My thief has focused his skills on open locks, stealth and pick pockets, so he's useless to actually detect the traps.

@ Cienden - I love clerics too. Those people who only play for melee power don't know what they're missing. I'll keep posting. Currently up to the second level of the big crypt in the Vale. I've cleared the big room, now I just need to crush the side rooms to get assorted treasure + the Talisman.
