But clerics are alright at CC. Who's better at it aside from wlocks/bards?
Wizards (for example Divination specialists) and Sorcerers (particularly Fire with Fire Acuity, Quicken and Scorching Rays - and actual CC spells; or maybe with Heighten).
Kinda druids - although Nature and Tempest clerics can match that, I guess.
Yeah I don't really see clerics as that great at CC. The best clerics (life, light and tempest) none of them are CC. They have a few builds who do a lot of damage, they're the only tanky spell caster (besides abjuration wizard). No cleric 12 is worth it besides life and light. Tempest is amazing as a multiclass in some builds and other clerics are just great dips.
Was thinking of running Shadowtits as a war cleric/gloom stalker with the Shar spear whenever the new evil content drops.
One thing I don't understand is why do sorcerers get con saving throw proficiency? So they have the best casting stat (charisma,) they have OP action economy breaking features and on top of that they're the only caster who gets the most important saving throw proficiency for casters?
