There's a huge difference between having one fourth level spell+1 domain spell and having 2+domain spell at 7th level, and bonus 5th and 6th level spells make a huge difference as well.A big part of the combat cleric schtick is the use of high level buff spells (Divine Power, Righteous Might, Persistent/Quickened Divine Favor, Quickened Shield of Faith, etc). A cleric with a low wisdom will find that he is quite hampered in his ability to do this. An extra Righteous Might per day (Or the ability to have both Righteous Might AND quickened/Persistent Divine Favor active at once at 9th level) is more valuable than an extra two points of strength. At 11th level, it's very nice not to have to choose between Hero's Feast and Harm or Heal. Etc.A combat cleric who neglects wisdom will be more effective at low levels when the buff spells really aren't that good (compared to the strength score) and the 12 or 14 wisdom doesn't effect much more than spell DCs and will saves. At high levels, when his buff spells make more difference than his initial scores, however, the cleric who dumped wisdom in favor of strength or constitution will suffer.</blockquote>
