Clerics are in the same tier as mages and druid. They're spellcasters. And if you're relying on them to make your fighter useful, then it's not really the fighter being useful, now is it? You may as well have summoned some minions instead of wasting a spell on healing, or just killed everything yourself. You'd rest less often that way. It takes way more spells to heal a fighter through fighting a horde of monsters than it does to just melt them all.
And if you want to bring consumables into things, wands beat the SHIT out of potions in terms of efficiency. Not to mention all that shit is made by spellcasters in the first place.
Seriously, make a list of monsters to be defeated or bypassed and compare who would get farther before needing outside help, a spellcaster or a fighter. Or if you want to do parties, make it 4 fighters vs 4 mages or some shit. 4 mages crush the shit out of everything past like, level 2. Even before then, they're not really at a disadvantage for most scenarios. Sleeping enemies are effectively dead enemies, and the differences in THACO are trivial.
