D&D 5E (2014) Companion thread to 5E Survivor - Subclasses (Part XV: The FINAL ROUND)

[TwoSix]

I have to admit, I'm a bit sad to hear all this can't we just vote for what we like, and downvote what we think is least deserving of winning?

Noble in theory, but revenge is so much sweeter in practice.

I’m actually finding it hard to vote, theres nothing really outsanding here and the 50 points isnt helping. I think I may just wait until a few more get whittled down…

 

[DND_Reborn]

Yeah, the 50 points is sort of making this more tedious instead of fun IME...

 

[Undrave]

Little curious as to why you think this? The 5e cleric has more unique abilities than almost any other previous edition afaict (prolly not more than 4e because of how 4e was structured). Not that that guarantees non-boringness or anything, but...

It just doesn't feel like an interesting support class while playing it. You fire off your Bless or Shield of Faith or whatever and then you just waste you time doing pitiful damage for the rest of the fight while maintaining your Concentration. There's no real engagement in the fight, you might need to throw a healing words or something but that's about it.

The best pick for Spells at early level are so blindingly obvious that you always end up with the 80% same spell list. The PHB only has ONE attack Cantrip (Toll the Dead should have been in the PHB for both Cleric and Bard) so if you want to be a spellcaster, I hope you like Sacred Flame (I don't)!

And the Cleric rituals suck.

Not a single option here is my favourite subclass.

Sadness abounds.

Right? My opinion on the finalists runs from "meh" to "seriously??"

Half full glass: with a 50 point start this will go on forever which is one less thread for weeks to distract me as I'm getting ready (read: already late) for work every morning.

I'm trying to whittle down the Abjuration wizard, but your upvoting isn't helping anything!

Yeah, well Im not gonna vote for a couple of days - so go for it!

 

[OB1]

Had a tough time figuring out how I'm voting in this, as in general the list shook out for me where the subclasses I like more are attached to classes I like less, and vice versa. In the end, I've decided to ignore the class and am just voting on which subclasses I like best.

 

[Aldarc]

Tempest Cleric is my favourite subclass on this list, but I see that it is doomed, so I am going to concentrate elsewhere.

You could always concentrate on killing the Abjuration Wizard.

You could always concentrate on killing the Abjuration Wizard.

Or the Ancients Paladin.
