I will be very happy to answer your legitimate questions smile

With most multiclassing options, the lack of a Feat is a bit of a bummer, because you can get enough other benefits from the other class and yes, with your build, Fighter is logical where Fighter 2 (did someone say Action Surge?) should actually be enough for a Nova round

As for my, fair to say still untested, suggestion, the thinking goes in the following directions:

- Bard 6 (Extra Attack and various spells and skills)
- Wizard 1 (to be able to expand the spell list)
- Cleric 5 (There are a few good level 2 and level 3 spells and also because of Spirit Guardians

Of course you have a synergy. Spirit Guardians can be upcast, you rarely get hit (Sanctuary, Shield, Mirror Image) and with Shriek it becomes, at least theoretically, very strong. A friend only tested it with Sanctuary + Shriek + Spirit Guardians. You run through the enemies and then hit them twice more. Works excellently.

I don't want to badmouth this build, but simply discuss it and deviations from this build
