Its all good. Some people hate on the paladin, I hate on the bard.
As do I. not a fan of the class at all. The blade from 2e was halfway decent, but it was all downhill from there.

I also played a Hill Dwarf Forge Cleric in my group. (The others being a mountain dwarf bear totem barbarian, a human necromancer wizard, and a half-orc monk of the open hand.) I had incredible HP and AC. I was probably one of the few party members that never dropped to 0 HP in our adventures. You are not necessarily pumping out the single-target damage of a fighter, barbarian, or rogue, or the AoE damage of a wizard, but you have a lot of support utility and sticking power in a fight. People have already mentioned Spiritual Weapon and Spiritual Guardians, which are both top notch spells in a fight, but you also have Guidance and Bless.
As an aside, I am also thankful that WotC switched out Shield for Identify for the Forge cleric domain spells. My group was already doing that when playtesting the UA Forge cleric, because my group and I found the Forge cleric with Shield was just too absurd of a tank in play.
Druids by the way make the best healers.
I'm going to disagree slightly, for two reasons. First, druids don't get revivify and remove curse spells. Second, a druid in beast form can't cast healing magic).Druids by the way make the best healers.
Bards don't get those either unless they make specific choices. I find bards can be great healers but I've made several bards with other choices and flavor in mind.I'm going to disagree slightly, for two reasons.

I'm not saying a druid is a bad healer, mind you, just that clerics are better. As are bards evil grin.
