A cleric with Sacred Flame is the zombie-finisher. With their horrible Dex saves, the cleric can focus on the ones who won't stay down and generally finish off one per round.
I play a Cleric of Life in my groups current campaign. Sacred Flame would be great if the DM (who makes all rolls in the open) would stop making his Dex saves... I nearly died (for a second time) because I couldn't finish off a zombie and it moved and slammed me to 0hps... Luckily the rest of the party was able to kill it before it knelt and feasted on my brains...
I must admit, we kind of live in fear of Zombies if I cant turn them on the initial round of combat... They have torn us up for the first 3 levels so far... The only thing more deadly we've encountered so far has been Insect Swarms... My Clerics first death was to a crit from a Swarm... 8d4 is a death sentence...
