Tactical Warlord's action point ability, Warlord's Favor, Lead the Attack ...
While his at-wills may not be as good as the Cleric's to giving boosts to hit, the Warlord has them as well. Many of the Cleric effects give effects that provide combat advantage ... the Warlord relies mostly on providing flanks to accomplish that goal. However, a high INT tactical warlord can provide a lot of bonuses to hit.
So far I've DM'ed a group with a Tactical Warlord. The group is at level 5, and he's done a good job as the only healer in the party [not even a Paladin]. He was 16 STR and 18 INT at the start, thus he's relied on commander's strike and giving out healing and his action points to benefit the party. He has the best AC in the party, and can set himself up to hit his dailies/encounters [Tiefling, so often wait until opponent is bloodied, get a flank and possibly even rebuke].
