The shield spell for example comes to mind (V,S) The online default gish spell most people realise they can't RAW cast it if they do not have an empty hand unless you have the warcaster feat. I think there is a twitter thing from the developers relaxing the rules but most players do not use twitter or follow mearls online.  The Paladin smite spells can be cast (most of them) IIRC they are mostly V only spells. There is also other reasons gish in 5E kind of suck or under perform as well at least the PHB. Gish being arcane casters, the Paladin is great the war cleric is a bt meh for example along with valor bards, bladelocks, bladedancers. I think the main problem is they d not function as people want them to RAW or they fail to meet expectations like the bladedancer being better off no fighting and just using the effect to get a higher AC and have hard to interrupt spells. Or bladelocks thinking they can fight when they are barely better than a cleric at melee.</blockquote>
