[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7532029, member: 20564"] At higher levels I find that clerics are using more and more spells offensively. Especially higher level and area effect spells. Of course, this can go two ways - get booming blade now while it's useful if you enjoy melee, or improve your spell DC save. Not knowing your party makeup, I can't say about how important it is that you remain front line. Booming blade, a familiar to give you advantage, your Tempest domain Divine Strike, and something like Spiritual Weapon is a mighty effective combo at 8th. That's a melee attack for 3d8+4 with a chance for 2d8 more if they move, at advantage, plus 3d8 in an area from spiritual weapon. Not so much at 18th. How high do you expect the campaign to go? Do you advance levels quickly? If you expect to soon get up to "the teens" in terms of levels, I'd go Wisdom. If you expect slower advancement, or the campaign to top off by say 11-12, then your front-liner focus is viable and go for it if you enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
