[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7549135, member: 6689161"] So a question just came to mind as I began plans to play a cleric. specifically I have been debating a war cleric and an arcana cleric. Going against the advice of some, I planned to take GWM at some point. With the war cleric, channel divinity for. +10 seems a natural fit. Sure, it's limited to a time or two per day initially, but it is a very likely hit even with -5 +10. I recall a discussion some time ago where this feat was discouraged for a war cleric.... the subtext was there are too few attacks to bother...and of course a fighter can get advantage or bless and make better use of it. However, if I play war cleric I might occasionally cast bless for a fighter but see myself as leaning away from concentration spells and focusing on other things (I despise being relegated to support but don't mind turning, healing or banishing along with teethkicking). in this context, how great is GWM for a fighter? If we have a fighter how potent is GWM without advantage prior to three attacks? it seems most of the white room analysis assumes someone will be blessing or helping the fighter. If they have their own agenda and the fighter goes it alone (I.e. No bless) is GWM really that great for him say compared to a war cleric? just curious. It won't change my choice (I want to play a cleric who fights, period) but wondered if the assumption about GWM and which class should take it is predicated on advantage. one side note...whether I take arcana or war cleric, I plan to use booming blade as I like the imagery and in game effect.
