I recently started playing a Tempus Cleric and I've been amazed at how much of a powerhouse he is when it comes to the issue of action economy. Currently at 4th level, he acts as the tank of the party (as nobody else seems to be willing to fill the position). In this role, he either casts a spell (such as bless or shatter) or slams with his warhammer for his main attack. For his bonus action, he will cast/hit with his spiritual weapon, or cast a bonus action spell such as healing word or sanctuary. Finally, as a reaction, he is able to zap anyone in melee with 2d8s of lightning/thunder damage when they hit him 4 times per day. Never have I played a character with such action economy built in to the character straight out of the box from level 1. Usually characters need to wait several levels and devote feats for such an interesting bag of goodies to add to combat.
Can anyone else suggest a class or build which matches such an efficient use of action economy?
