Let me guess in a one shot with a specific preknown level and with precasting before combat, only really small rooms and enemies clumped together and no enemy hitting them to break their concentration.
This class and Valor bard has the absolute same number of bonus attacks actually after level 5. They just cant use reactions in order to spam them faster. (And dont have the option to give up a bonus action to give the party 1+ bonus turns, or grant an ally movement).
Of course cleric can get more damage on attacks thanks to the level 7 and 14 features, thats why its better suited for attacking than a bard in general. (And having +2 armor also helps).
Medium size room, difficult terrain, pillars for cover. Next room had an alter, fire pit pillars.
Hard cast encounter 1, still going encounter 2.
Lvl 19 basic magic items (+1 shield, adamantine armor) 1 rare item.
War cleric bonus attack refreshes every short rest no waiting to level 5. Run out you have spiritual weapon concentration free.
Used true strike, shilleagh, warcaster, divine strike.
War clerics probably the best caster gish, paladin for warrior.
3 rooms on one of those WotC fold up boards. They were teleporting around with spirit guardians.
They can also give themselves a +2 concentration free weapon lvl 3 slot if DMs being a hard ass.

So with the increased complexity of 5.5 with weapon masteries, emanations and more forced movements type meta (of 3.5 and 5.0) something had to be done.
Found a new venue. FLGS sells D&D stuff and war gaming stuff. Slanted towards older crowd as well. They don't sell card games focus on psints, warrants, models, collectibles. Ive found stuff there from the 1960s-80's and seen guys painting 2mm scale Napoleonc wargaming stuff. Full sets of painted Warhammer 40k minis, WW2 tank games, non D&D RPGs. Big...
Encounter set up other day. Not this one specifically. Ogre are proxies for Eldritch Eddie's fall of Netheril.
Players didn't know what I put in the level 10 one.
