  This class is nice and all, but what infuriate me is guided strike being able to be used on a ally ONLY AT LV 6.
  
  I mean other clerics uses their charge to do big radiance dmg, max thunder and elc dmg, healing in a radius, halve elemental dmg. And war cleric divinity only became good at lv 6 really?
  I mean if we received other thing at lv 2 or 6 and then a proper guiding strike it would make sense.

  Worth for multiclass, a example: 11 fighter/1 war cleric, but if you want to go full cleric, then avoid this subclass

  still bugged. i attack to enter combat, end my turn (don't use my bonus action), and then the next round it's my turn, the only attack i can do is your bonus action war charge attack.
  just for testing purposes, I just immediately ended my turn without using my action or bonus action, and then the third round came by, and i STILL didn't have the option to just attack. I HAD to use my bonus action war charge to be able to access to my regular action attack.
  
  i imagine this has to be a bug, but for some reason no one is talking about it, so maybe i'm just misunderstanding something about the class.

  If you attack and choose to not use your War Charge and end your turn, the next time it's your turn, you can't use your Action to attack. It's still the War Charge bonus attack.. Removing the ability to choose when or when not to use your war charge :/
  
  Very frustrating.

  War priest charges are possibly bugged with extra attack.
  
  At Battle Master 7/ War Domain 5, when taking the attack action, the war priest charge will always be spent on the second attack, followed by the fighter extra attack 3rd. You cannot manually select which extra attack you want to use, so all charges will be expended pretty much immediately. Hope this gets fixed soon

  Disregarding how good this could be for multiclassing in some builds, I've fallen in love with pure war cleric.
  
  If you pick up great weapon master your channel divinity +10 to attack goes from "blowing a reaction to let a mediocre attack land" to "a free pass to use -5/+10 on whatever you want while you have channel divinity charges".
  
  Add in how many other party member class features or equipment can grant you advantage, and you're cooking with gas.
  
  Sure, you wont be on par with pure melee builds from a martial class, but the name of the game here is flexibility. You get to have the 2nd best feature after reckless attack for great weapon master, great AC thanks to heavy armor proficiency, and all the while being a full-on spellcaster class thats already pretty flexible.
  
  Plus, in comparison to other cleric subclasses your BA attack charges let you be very economic with your spell slots. You can think of each BA attack charge as a turn where you dont have to blow a spell slot to do something impactful.
  
  Also, it may seem like the number of BA attack charges you get is way too few, but I found myself rarely ever running out of charges when I needed them. Partially thanks to great weapon master granting you a free BA attack on crit or kill, and partially because you'll have plenty of turns where one of your spells would be better suited to the situation.

  the three extra bonus attacks per long rest work with Throw!! that's three extra heals that don't require spells slots for your allies; just throw the potions right next to them at their feet (rather than directly at them). there is no hit chances or resists involved so you don't have to worry about having points in STR to benefit from this.
  
  best dip for supports who don't normally have a second attack

  Spirit Guardian is the GOAT spell for melee clerics. It wins almost every outside fight in Act 2 all by itself. Cast SG with your action and Spiritual Weapon with your bonus on turn 1 on most fights.

  A goddamn one-point wonder. Clerics get to choose their domain at level 1, and so by putting a single level into Cleric as a subclass you can gain heavy armor & shield proficiency without needing feats, 3 extra attacks per long rest and insane utility spells like Sanctuary and Command. Some other (but not all) domains give heavy armor & shield proficiency, but imo War Domain is the best for it.
  
  This is particularly useful for summoner-type builds; at level 7 my Wizard Necromancer was running around with ~20AC and an army of Blessed zombies, Commanding enemies to flee to proc my swarm's opportunity attacks. The power spike from this domain alone was absurd!!

  War domain isn’t terrible but melee cleric just doesn’t really work without either booming blade or extra attack. They need one or the other. It’s a good idea to dip one level of Druid for shileighlie if you are serious about melee, then you can build around wisdom and dump strength. Still your melee attacks will struggle to even just keep up with cantrips.

  Paladin 2 > Cleric 5 > Paladin 5 > Cleric 7
  
  You get 2 Attacks per turn, 3 with War Cleric Charges, access to level 5 Spells, Divine Smite, a Fighting Style, and a bunch of Oath-specific features like Vow of Enmity.

  Not 100% sure on all domain spells, but all cleric domains in 5e received 1 known spell from class and one from out of class. There’s a few domain spells on this list which should be exclusive to the domain, like fireball for instance. Only light cleric exclusively gets fireball. Light cleric also gets daylight, but any cleric can also get daylight.
