[QUOTE="Esker, post: 7968968, member: 6966824"] The thing about Invoke Duplicity is it uses your concentration, and you're unlikely to benefit more from getting to make attack rolls at advantage, even with Elven Accuracy, than you would from concentrating on something better (like Spirit Guardians). But you'll probably use it sometimes, and boosting your odd WIS with Elven Accuracy seems as good as any other option. The Sentinel and Mirror Image thing I guess is RAW, but worth checking if your DM would allow it. I'm also not necessarily sure you want to be the designated "attack me" guy as a Trickery Cleric, though it depends on the party I guess. I take it you're some kind of elf, so you don't have War Caster yet. It's boring b/c it's pretty much a feat tax, but nonetheless pretty essential for a cleric. I'd take that before any of the above.
