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.
This has been my conclusion as well "Rouge and Fighters" better then every one else. However wizards with magic missel, fog, grease, misty step, they have a few cool stuff, they are still way better then Cleric.
Having said that, still only up to level 4, things could change say at level 10. the spell casters can catch up pretty easy, in fact I expect them too.
