So a cleric can use it without taking War domain or martial weapon proficiency feat. Now Combat Reflex is quite nice. Power Attack -- Cleave feat line work well with a reach weapon, too.And two-handed weapon is a way to go if your DM consider putting one hand off from the shaft for spellcasting and putting that hand on to the shaft are both free actions. Many DMs do.Regarding Magic domain, you still suffer arcane spell failure when using scrolls. So you mainly use wands. But there are some good spells without somatic component. Sometimes a scroll is more convenient than a wand. You can put your hand off from the shaft of your weapon (a free action). retrieve a scroll of True Strike (a move action) and use it (a standard action), then drop the used scroll (a free action).True Strike does not have somatic component. Thus, scroll of True Strike is a friend of melee cleric. Use it, then use Power Attack feat and attack. Use True Strike and disarm. Use True Strike and shoot Searing Light (if you have enough time to do that, of course).Wand of Shield or Scroll of Stilled Shield are good, too. Mirror Imaged fighting Cleric is awesome.</blockquote>
