D&D 5E Divine Eminence - When and Where

[Yunru]

Divine Eminence. As a bonus action, the priest can expend a spell slot to cause its melee weapon attacks to magically deal an extra 10 (3d6) radiant damage to a target on a hit. This benefit lasts until the end of the turn. If the priest expends a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by ld6 for each level above 1st.

One of my players would like this in place of one of the War Cleric's features, but which one would you replace, and what level would be your minimum?

I don't know but multi-classed with Assassin and Gloom Stalker it would be insane.

Assassin 10, Gloom Stalker 5, War Cleric 5:

Blow a 3rd level slot for +5d6
Gloom Stalker gives 2 attacks, plus a bonus attack doing 1d8
Sneak attack +5d6
Sharpshooter (because why not?)
On surprise, all attacks have Advantage and auto-crit

#1 (1d8 + 5d6 + 5d6) * 2 + 5 + 10
#2 (1d8 + 1d8 + 5d6) * 2 + 5 + 10
#3(1d8 + 5d6) * 2 + 5 + 10

8d8 + 40d6 + 45 = 221 (average)

Alternatively, Assassin 17 and Cleric 3 would have an alpha strike of:
1d8 + 9d6 + 4d6 * 2 + 15 * 2 = 230 (average), but requires the failed saving throw

(Yes, I know this is just YOUR player and not a proposed class change. But it's still fun to think about one-shotting...oh, how about an Adult Blue Dragon? Sadly, a Balor is still just out of reach.)

It looks fine to me, I would most likely allow it. The cleric may end up using most of his spells on healing anyways. Isn't he giving up an extra attack. I would most likely even allow him to choose to burn the spell after he hits as the bonus action.
