IMO, of course.Class Powers are Combat Powers.  Therefore they're all about attacks and defenses. Is that really surprising?  Perhaps you'd be more charitable to the Cleric class if they retained the Crusader name from Bo9S?2E Specialty Priests sure were ... unique.  Many were brokenly better or worse than others though, similar to certain 3E PrC's.  All of the classes in 4E are more narrowly defined Archetypes.  We can't say how flexible they are until we see the full Power and Feat lists, but we really can't expect the Cleric to be that much more flexible than the Fighter or Rogue.  It's supposed to represent a particular concept.There's probably no way to give you what you want though, because WotC explicitly does not want 4E class choices to have "wrong" answers.  The class you're asking for is sub-optimal relative to all the others (in respect of combat/adventuring power; that's not a comment about how fun they may be to RP for you).  The easiest way for you to do this is to simply ignore half your Class powers.  WotC isn't going to waste its time publishing an obvious gimp (rollplay-wise, not roleplay-wise).</blockquote>
