Oh, come now, Anomen isn't THAT bad.

He's saved our BUTTS in Chapter 6. Give him the Illithium-treated Mace of Disruption and keep putting prof points into it, and with that and his Sunray spells AND the necessary Restoration spells, Negative Plane Protection for the others, etc., he can just about clear out the vamps by himself.
HINT: After he takes his "ascension", he's a lot better cleric than before. Don't judge him on the basis of where he is before the test.
Either that, or take Viconia with you, as she's a pure Cleric...but she won't get the extra prof points in Mace. (Minsc can do in a pinch with the Mace.)
Clerics aren't necessary to finish the game...but they do make things a LOT easier. A balanced party is a MUST in this game. Mine is:
My Character (a Berserker dualled to Thief)
Anomen
Minsc
Imoen
Nalia
Aerie
Just choose the right spells for the right jobs, and there's pretty much nothing you can't do.
Oh, and BTW...Carsomyr is great, but it's not the only good weapon in the game...IMO, Crom Faeyr (which my character is using), is the best.
Good luck to you!
