[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6849079, member: 22779"] The trick though is that this is only half the equation. Yup, clerics only get Sacred Flame. But, they also get direct combat spells, several direct combat spells, every spell level. Let's not forget Domain spells on top, with things like Burning Hands, Fireball and Haste, depending on domain. It's not only that you get to spam direct combat spells, but also the fact that a significant portion of your daily load out can easily be spent on artillery type spells as well. Or, put it another way. If my cleric has fireball, burning hands, flame strike, and various other things, how is he any different than a fire sorcerer or an evoker? Note, I've got no real complaint about the wizardly types firing away every round. That's fine. That's what they should be doing. But why is my cleric dropping fireballs several times per adventuring day? [/QUOTE]
