View Full Version : [PATHFINDER] Clerics and Combat

Guys, my friends and I will begin playing a Pathfinder game very soon...
So, knowing that the Paladin and the Fighter got improved a lot, is it still worth it to play a combat oriented Cleric?
Clerics lost heavy armor, but they got a better weapon if they choose a interesting deity. Some spells got a little bit nerfed, like Divine Power that gives you only a virtual full BAB.
So what you guys think?

They're still awesome in Combat. However, the new ultimate combat priest is the War (or was it battle?) Oracle. He gets full attacks after moving.

Pardon me, but is it a PrC?
Please, tell me more.

No, it's part of the Advanced Player's Guide open beta

To elucidate further, The Oracle (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/extras/advanced-player-s-guide-playtest/oracle). The six classes from the Advanced Player's Guide are currently in beta, and are available on the PFSRD.

I liked the Oracle, but sine it is still on beta, I cannot bring it to my gaming table. Also, I considered teh druid, but I like the Cleric's concept better.
But the Cleric is still a trusty melee combatent, right?
If I'd run a Combat Oriented Pathfinder Cleric, which are the good choices?

from my understanding, the Cleric got a sort of missmatch of buff and nerf, so they're not TERRIBLY different from what they were in 3.5, the only class that outright got a nerf was the Druid

It also makes a big difference if it is just Pathfinder, or pathfinder + some 3.5 materials. Clerics have a number of swift action spells (like Blade of Blood in PHB 2) that really help a low level melee build.

I have a druid for Pathfinder and he is OP. I play with a group of 5-8 people on a rotation DM schedule. At 5th level, I had 7 attacks between myself and animal companion doing d6+6 and d8+8 damage on the attacks.
Each class has strong and weak points. If you want to play a class effectively, one must learn them. I had to 'relearn' my concept of the druid.
