[QUOTE="Merchant of Shadows, post: 6784303, member: 65644"] As a war cleric you already have reliable sources of minor action attacks with both access to Spiritual Weapon (please note that it does not use your concentraion) and the War Priest feature. The biggest asset of polearm master will be the fact that creature will provoke AoO when they enter you reach... from the type of encounters your DM have been using so far - you will be able to tell how often this will be happening. I would personally go with Great Weapon Master and consider getting 5-6 levels of Battlemaster fighter somewhere along the way for a second attack and the Precision, Menacing, Riposte combo. Great Weapon Master is in a good sinergy with your Guided Strike channel divinity and Riposte will give you a source of reaction attacks. If you are relatively more armored compared to your friends also consider getting the defense fighting style and the Sentinel feat. P.S: Spirit Guardians is indeed very nice, but as a cleric you don't have a Con save proficiency and as a melee cleric you need it if you want to keep a concentration spell for a long time. If you go that road... indeed do consider Resilent: Con and even Warcaster. [/QUOTE]
