I can understand why, combat roles and balance were very important in 4e and customisable clerics were one of the biggest nightmares in previous editions from a role and balance perspective.Given the widespread cleric-hate I am sure they bent over backwards to make the cleric class balanced and playable, probably at the cost of flexibility. I would prefer different priest character concepts to the melee cleric to be modelled by different classes, (which seems to be the 4e philosophy, as classes do seem to be more specialised). IMO overloading the 4e core cleric with vast flexibility would be a mistake.</blockquote>
