Message: <blockquote data-quote="duneguy" data-source="post: 8084360" data-attributes="member: 56672">I used Spiritual Weapon (no concentration) and Spirit Guardians ASAP, often with higher-level spell slots. I'll grab numbers and add them to this reply in a minute.Edit: OK, so let's take a look at life cleric at level 11, where it does higher damage than the evoker.Round one: As a bonus action, cast Spiritual Weapon (not a concentration spell) at level 5: 13.5 (3d8) each turn for 3 turns, for 40 damage overall. Then cast Spirit Guardians at level 4 (concentration), 18 (4d8) damage for 3 turns against 2 targets. 108 damage - or 72, if you assume that the cleric's concentration gets ended one turn early.Round two: Lv 6 Flame strike hitting 2 targets for 63 (18d6) or half on a failed save.Round 3: Lv 4 Inflict Wounds for 33 (6d10) damage.Reduce that all for misses chances and saving throws, divide by 3 over 3 rounds, and it's still a lot.The cleric competing so well with the evoker wizard may actually be a function of me underestimating the wizard, who mostly slings fireballs.</blockquote>
