But almost from the begining the clerics spells are as good or dang close to it in combat IMO.  This is because they have no lack of save or die spells which for me are the deadliest spells in the game.  Maybe I'm just unlucky or just remember them more but more monsters that actually pose a threat to the party have been taken out with cleric spells than with wizard spells.  It may be because clerics lack the ig booms so when taking attack spells they are almost always save or else spells, I don't know, but contagion, bestow curse, hold person(2nd level), destruction, slay living etc have had a biger effect on fghts, than the fireballs or cones of colds. Then at high levels clerics get some of the better DD spells, firestorm is perhaps the best overall DD spell in the game.  20d6 cap, and a large shapeable area.  They don't have near the variety butt with die caps you only really need or want the high level oens when you are high level anyways.</blockquote>
