MM I laughed seeing the Rouge a C and the Cleric a S.
Rouges are simply killing machines in this game and when food can heal better then a Cleric, well why do you need one? Bless? ..lol. Rouges can do it all, solo the entire act one. Video's out there of them doing it.
only reason to bring a cleric is because Shadowheart is the only eye candy, romance option for 95 of the player base. (hetro males)
But hey, thanks for sharing your view.
You bring a Cleric for Bless and that's all about they're good for, which is still better than spellcasters. Can any of the Spellcasters do Inflict Wounds on a rank 1 slot while bringing Bless? Didn't think so. You want Bless anyways if your spellcasters are gonna land any spells in the Underdark or Githyanki patrol.
Rogue and fighters>>>>> everyone else. Cleric would be even more important than Spellcasters if oil of sharpness wasn't a thing and melee had to worry about missing too.
