I don't know what the cleric's build is like (melee or ranged), but between a cleric and a warlord, there are 4 words flying around. There shouldn't be a need for the cleric to focus too much on healing.Two defenders should be able to provide sufficient marking to help protect the cleric, but a bit of extra armor or health won't hurt.With 2 defenders and a controller, I suspect the group is having difficulty focusing damage. There is no easy way to build the best half-elf cleric for this group, but I'll give it a shot for a melee build.Gives you decent accuracy, good defense, decent damage, some range options, a few ways to heal, and a few ways to increase party damage in big fights.I don't think a laser cleric will be quite as useful to this party because it's not covering the party's weakness, damage output. Also with a strength build, you're helping out the warlord be more effective, giving him one more option on the field to grant basic attacks to. And strength allows for better armor. Armor can be upgraded to plate at paragon. With this build, I'd also grab power of skill and maybe a horned helm down the road to charge with Righteous Brand.</blockquote>
