[QUOTE="Markh3rd, post: 7788360, member: 6782417"] My friend loves his Tempest cleric who has a wand of lightning. Maximized lightning bolts are crazy. Maximized lightning bolts that are up cast are encounter ending. I play a nature cleric in one of my home games and really enjoy it. He's a Firbolg and since the adventure is beast heavy (lots of outdoor adventures) he has been very useful. Picking the right domain to fit the setting and group is the biggest consideration. A light cleric casting fireballs in Avernus might not have as fun a time as say an arcane cleric that has abilities versus fiends, celestial, and elementals. Overall they bring support to the group and can be good both in and out of combat as well as both buffing their allies or hindering their enemies. If a round goes by and you can't find anything useful to do you're playing it wrong. If being king dps is the goal look elsewhere, but as I mentioned earlier it doesn't mean your damage is nonexistent either. [/QUOTE]
