Tempest, on the other hand, is one of the strongest subclasses for clerics who want to do gratuitous damage, and I see no reason to expect significant changes from PnP.
Between War and Tempest which one you would say is better?

Tempest by a land slide.

War gets you a nice extra attack at early levels and , but its channel isn't as good and it's Domain spells are meh.

Tempest gets you a damaging reaction (that later on can push enemies away) which is huge, it has a nice channel divinity with good compatibility with its really solid Domain spell list.
I've been thinking on making a War Cleric that was too drunk on violence and war that tries now to find redemption. Would that role play work for Tempest Cleric?
