Best Cleric Builds for Baldur's Gate 3
Clerics are divine spellcasters who draw their power from a deity or sacred domain, allowing them to serve a wide variety of roles within an adventuring party. While often associated with healing and support, Clerics are among the most versatile classes that are capable of protecting allies with their shields and magic and controlling the battlefield by debuffing enemies through spells while also being able to deal significant damage while standing on the front lines in heavy armor, depending on their chosen domain. Clerics can act as a healer, a tank, a support caster, or even an offensive spellcaster. Clerics can contribute in nearly every encounter meaninfully by remaining to be one of the most flexible and dependable classes in the game.
Light Domain
The Light Domain is one of the strongest subclasses for Clerics because it combines everything that makes the class powerful. It keeps the Cleric's exceptional healing and support while also gaining strong offensive spells in the game, including Fireball and Wall of Fire, that make it excel as the perfect versatile subclass for players who want to be on the offensive while also providing support for the rest of the party. The Light Domain Cleric is among the strongest subclasses due to its exceptional balance of damage and survivability while also providing great utility and party support.
The strength of Light Domain Clerics is their ability to seamlessly transition between roles. In one encounter, they can act as the party's primary healer and support caster by maintaining buffs and reviving fallen allies, while in other situations, they can easily unleash devastating damage.
When creating any Cleric, the primary Ability to prioritize should be Wisdom, as it will boost the effectiveness of their spellcasting, healing, and spell save DCs. The next ability to prioritize should be Constitution to give Clerics a bigger Hit Point pool while also helping them with their Concentration checks to maintain their spells on the battlefield. Lastly, Dexterity should have some points put into it as well to raise the character's Armor Class and Initiative.
Radiance of the Dawn
Radiance of the Dawn is the Light Domain's Channel Divinity. This ability gives the cleric an immediate AOE option capable of dealing damage to multiple enemies at once while also dispelling magical darkness at the same time. It is a powerful part of the Light Cleric's toolkit against large groups of enemies and can be useful all throughout the campaign, even in the later acts.
Spellcasting
Clerics are great support casters, even with their martial proficiency. Guidance is always a great cantrip to take to give themselves or their allies a little boost to their dice rolls. Sacred Flame is also a great cantrip to take for a damage-dealing option to deal Radiant Damage on a failed Wisdom saving throw. For other spells, Light Domain Clerics gain access to some of the best offensive spells like Fireball and Scorching Ray. These spells are great options to deal massive damage to enemies. Scorching Ray provides three different rays that can target individual enemies and Fireball, over an affected area to deal massive fire damage.
Aid is a great spell to always have in their list of prepared spells to heal allies while also increasing the targets' maximum HP by 5. It's a great support spell to cast to give the party even more survivability right after a Long Rest to ensure they can take more hits during combat encounters. Revivify is another healing spell that revives a party member who has been killed. This is a great on-the-go option if the party finds themselves without any scrolls to use. Another spell that Light Domain Clerics gain access to is Flame Strike, which can summon a pillar of divine flame to deal Fire and Radiant damage to enemies.
Feats
While leveling up, it's recommended to take the option for Ability Score Improvements to raise the Cleric's Wisdom score up to 20 to maximize their spellcasting damage and accuracy, and raise their spell save DC to make sure more of their spells hit enemies. Once their Wisdom score is maxed out, players can take the War Caster feat to give them advantage on their Concentration Checks to help keep their spells active during combat. Since Clerics are usually on the front lines and within melee of enemies and taking hits, the advantage will help greatly in maintaining Concentration. The feat also allows the Cleric to cast Shocking Grasp as a Reaction on enemies leaving their melee range.
Life Domain
The Life Domain Cleric is the quintessential healer cleric subclass. Its subclass features give the Cleric buffs to their healing. Its defining feature is its ability to amplify every healing spell it casts. With Disciple of Life, all healing magic cast by the Life Cleric restores additional Hit Points. While the Life Domain's kit is focused on healing, it shouldn't be mistaken for being a purely healing subclass. The Life Domain Cleric can be a durable support member capable of protecting their allies by providing powerful buffs and controlling the battlefield through core Cleric spells, and ensuring the party can endure encounters that would overwhelm underprepared adventurers.
Life Domain Clerics also gain Blessed Healer at level 6, which rewards the Cleric with extra healing toward themselves whenever they cast a healing spell on another creature. At level 10, they get Divine Strike: Radiant, which imbues their weapon attack with divine energy, letting them deal an additional 1d8 Radiant damage when they attack with their weapon once per turn.
As written above, Wisdom is the primary ability of any Cleric as it affects their spellcasting ability, making their spell save DCs more difficult to beat. High Wisdom also boosts the overall effectiveness of their spells, like damage and accuracy. The next ability to prioritize would be Constitution to give them a bigger Hit Point pool, improving their survivability and boosting their Concentration checks. Lastly, Dexterity should also be a priority to make sure they have a decent Armor Class and initiative bonus.
Preserve Life
Preserve Life is the Life Domain's subclass-specific Channel Divinity Action that allows the Cleric to heal multiple allies at the same time by 3 x their character level, giving the Cleric a way to heal their allies without having to spend a spell slot. It also replenishes on a short rest, which means the Life Domain Cleric can be used multiple times between long rests without having to consume valuable spellcasting resources. Preserve Life can also immediately turn a dangerous situation around with its burst of healing to allow the party to regain control of the battlefield during a particularly difficult encounter.
Spellcasting
Life Domain Clerics gain access to Domain spells that are always prepared whenever they reach certain levels, which helps make them the best support caster in the party. Upon choosing the subclass, they immediately get Bless and Cure Wounds which are two spells that remain useful throughout the game. Bless is considered as one of the strongest level 1 spells since it grants the ability to improve attack rolls and saving throws for multiple allies.
Healing Word is also an efficient ranged healing option that uses a Bonus Action, providing the Life Domain Cleric with some quick healing when they can't necessarily get within range to cast touch-range healing spells. Sanctuary is a good spell to protect their squishier allies during difficult encounters as well. Death Ward is another domain spell for Life Domain Clerics, which allows them to be a powerhouse when it comes to supporting their party. With Death Ward, the Cleric can protect an ally from death, and instead of letting an ally be reduced to 0 Hit Points, they instead remain conscious with 1 hit point left, buying time for the Cleric to heal them for more, or allow the ally to get one more turn to either take down an enemy or get away from harm's way.
Feats
For feats, it will be the same concept as for the Light Domain. Raise the Cleric's Wisdom Score up to 20 as soon as possible to boost their spellcasting as much as possible. Once their Wisdom is maxed out, they can take War Caster, which will help with Concentration checks to help keep their spells active during combat and also give them the ability to cast Shocking Grasp as a Reaction whenever a hostile creature moves out of melee range.

Light Cleric is cool and all but this game allows you to turn a life cleric into a party buffing madman from the start. It honestly feels broken fully healing, blessing & blade warding an entire party with a bonus action.

As of Patch 4, Nature, Knowledge and Trickery domains now have their level 6 features.
Nature gains Dampen Elements
Knowledge gains Read Thoughts
Trickery gains Cloak of Shadows

Kind of sad that a Cleric of Selune can't cast Moonbeam...
Seems that "Light" domain is focused entirely on a Sun theme with Fire spells (And Destructive Wave for some reason?), while also not even having Sunbeam either.

You can't follow Myrkul anymore after some patches? I was hoping to recreate one of my favorite characters who followed him. Maybe they'll add more subclasses and deities to go with it? If not no worries Larian did such an amazing job with this game. Anyone else feel left out after they took Myrkul out though?

Wild magic sorcerer level 1 (Tides of Chaos mechanic), Wizard divination school level 2 (portent die) and cleric light domaine level 9.
This allows you great healing and powerful offensive spells, meanwhile giving the feel of divine intervention happening left and right.

My Thempest domain cleric has also acces to "spiritual weapon" since there is nothing "thunderus" about it I think every cleric has it.

They need to add Death domain so we can replace Shadowheart's awful subclass and still have it make sense lore-wise.

The day if we get the Death Domain by the devs or some talented modder. The turn undead spells would be ironic though

PSA: Light domain Warding flare seems to be non functional ATM (pre-patch 1)

I'd be very interested in learning why Larian decided to scrap all the 6 and 8 level sub domain features.

Surprised there is no Cure Wounds spell here for base Cleric.

For anyone having trouble when it comes to picking a domain, heres a quick run down:
Life & Nature - These are the traditional idea when it comes to cleric. They do fairly well in a melee fight(when built right) & and come with lots of support + Utility. Life focuses more on healing & death prevention, well Nature prefers crowd control with a squeeze of damage.
Light & Knowledge - These are caster clerics. They both gain access to potent spell-caster which allows them to add their wisdom modifier to damage cantrips making them more potent & reliable. Light goes all in on damage & combat with things like burning hands & fireball, and their divine channel making it harder for enemies to hit them. Knowledge gains access to lots of good crowd control with things like sleep & slow. Their divine channel also gives them a bonus on skill checks of a certain attributes.
War & Tempest - These are the clerics that love melee combat. With training in Martial combat & Heavy Armor they can wield weapons and armor no other cleric can without using up feats. War focuses on being something of a commander, with spells that buff themselves, allies, or both, well also enjoying bonuses to striking with weapons. Tempest on the other hand enjoys dealing elemental damage (usually lighting) to their foes at close range, and disrupting foes at a distance well they close in. Tempest also gains access to things like fog cloud, sleet storm, and freedom of movement allowing them to disrupt enemies, well being hard to disrupt in turn.
Trickery - This is perhaps the oddest of the domains. It has utility in the form of blessing of the trickster allowing advantage on stealth checks, and Invoke Duplicity which gives allies advantage on attacks made on enemies within 3m of the illusion you place. It has disruption in the form of Fear, and charm person, and also has spells that help it in & out of melee combat such as mirror image & Dimension Door(getting in & out of melee). If your willing to spend some gold to re-spec Shadowheart a bit she can actually make a decent addition to your team.

Divine Intervention at 10th level, regardless of Domain/Deity Choice, when using the Arm Thy - The gain a legendary weapon effect - The only thing that is given is the Devotee's Mace. On top of which, you cannot reset your class and go Cleric again to reset the Divine Intervention feature as it trips a flag in the background that states "You've already used Divine Intervention on THIS character." HOWEVER, every party member can go Cleric, and us the Army Thy - Legendary Weapon effect to get the Devotee's Mace, effectively giving a AoE 1D4 Heal for each Mace, which are Simple Weapons, so you can Dual Wield, or Stick'n'Board with them across multiple characters. (Provided the user has the Dual Wielder Feat.) Is this worth it? Probably not, as by the time most players hit level 10 to do so, you likely already have your gear set in stone. Is it oddly humorous... kinda. My one lament is that they didn't give weapon variations for each of the Deities. It's all Devotee's Mace with the same effect across the board. As such, it's actually better to save this big red button for one of the other effects in my opinion. Tempus, Selune, Elistraeae, Oghma - All Devotee's Mace. (Hopefully this changes as time goes on. Fairly early on into the full release though.)

Either I have a bug in my game or 'Heavy Armour' Proficiency is missing here (should be on the list).

As someone who has played healers since Vanilla WoW, all of Overwatch, and in my multiple DnD campaigns, I just really need the Grave Cleric at some point! I'd settle for Death Cleric and go more melee if I must, but my empath emo heart needs my dark little healer.

Without Spiritual Weapon, the dps of this class lags behind others. Dang. It feels like they're pigeon-holing classes into predefined roles.

What is the deal with Gods? Are they restricted to the domain? ... ?

Life and light domain clerics...? This is my favorite DnD class because of their versatility. I'd love to see Tempest, and Forge domain clerics make it into the game eventually. I think 5e did a lot to keep them from being the "dedicated healer" and had enough alternatives to where they weren't responsible for healing the entire party. There are something like 12 cleric domains, you can currently only pick from 3, and 2 of them being fairly similar is a bit disappointing. That's early access though right?

Life cleric has Knowledge cleric spells for some reason?, I assume it's just a mistake and needs to be updated.
Ah, good day! You look reasonably sane. What are you doing in the catacombs? Are you a cleric or something?
