The healer and supporter are among the most popular RPG archetypes that players have known for years. This applies to the modern classic Baldur's Gate 3 as well, with a powerful and skilled Cleric class. Everyone's favorite Roman option, Trickery Domain Cleric Shadowheart, may have something to do with this, too, by the way.
Whether you want to be a reliable tank for your party and dish out healing spells left and right or you just want to barbeque enemies with holy light, the Cleric is a really cool class. Here are some of the best jobs you can do to make your sacred servants more effective.

11 Sentinel
Be objective
Sentinel is one of the most powerful in the game, no matter what class or building you play. It is amazing and gives you a lot of bonuses. Sentinel focuses mainly on your attacks of opportunity, giving you extra triggers, bonuses and extra effects to hit.
As a cleric, you are likely to be one of the players in the party with the highest Armor Class (AC) and will be easier to fend off incoming attacks. If this is the case, it is very important to keep dangerous enemies close to you and prevent them from leaving your vicinity to hurt other members of your party. Sentinel is the perfect job to do this.
10 hard
Improve health
It's hard to heal your party mates if you're bleeding on the floor. While Clerics have high AC, decent HP is also very valuable. Luckily, Tough helps a lot with that. It's very simple, it gives you two extra HP for every level you are.
While this may seem like a no-brainer, it's actually quite good. At tenth level you'll have an extra twenty HP, which might be enough to last three or four more lives. It can be the difference between victory and death, making Tough worth it.
9 Ritual Caster
Spell Versatility
While Clerics can be considered dedicated healers for all factions, there are surprisingly many of them. They are capable of shooting powerful spells and powerful spells. Ritual Caster adds another dimension to his abilities, which is always welcome.
With this feat, you gain access to two ritual spells from your essential spell list. All of these are quality of life charms and such great charms 
Talk to the Dead, 
Disguise Selfand 
Find a Familiar. While not as game-changing as some of the others on this list, Ritual Caster can definitely help.
8 War Caster
Focus is important
War Caster is a good choice for those who don't care much about equipment and want to blast your enemies back to where they came from. It grants both Concentration Saving Throws and allows you to use the 
Offensive Grasp spell as attack of opportunity.
Clerics have some of the best focus spells on the list, so War Caster feels like a good fit. With options like 
Shield of faith, 
Be quiet, 
Spirit guardian, 
will be expelledand more, Clerics can be powerful if they can maintain their focus on specific spells at specific times.
This feat does not add the Shocking Grasp spell to the spell list. Therefore, you will not be able to use it, without the comments.
7 Resilient: Constitution
Saving Throw Proficiency
Speaking of focus, another way to pull it off is to take the Resilient Feat and choose Constitution as your resource. This feat increases the skill associated with one and grants skill on the Saving Throw. Clerics, unlike Wizards, do not have the ability to save Throws constitution, so this is the perfect choice for them.
This feat can also help you round up your Constitution score to an even number if it lands on an odd number. Although it's often a tough choice between War Caster and Resilient, Clerics can benefit from both.
Changing your skill score only increases by the same amount. Try to round all the stats to the nearest number to maximize the bonus.
6 Heavily Armored
Hitting is not allowed
While achievements related to Armors are often overlooked in Baldur's Gate 3, and D&D for that matter, there are some cases where they can be useful. Religious leaders are the best example of this. Generally, the Cleric starts the game with Light and Medium Armor abilities, which aren't too bad.
However, Clerics work well when they are almost invulnerable, as they keep their party healthy. So upgrading heavy armor with this job might be worth it. Clerics can also use shields, so when you're wearing full armor or similar, you can easily push your AC above 20. After that, you can cast spells every turn and see if the incoming attack misses you.
5 Shield leader
Perfect protection for area magic
Speaking of being a tank, Shield Master also goes well with defensive Cleric builds. This feat adds a +2 bonus to your Dexterity Saving Throw when using a shield. It also allows you to take no damage on a successful Dexterity Saving Throw or take half damage on a failure.
With the usual AC of Clerics being so high, the usual way to hit them is through area spells and AoE attacks. Shield Master is the perfect antidote to this, making your Cleric harder to pick. The fact that there are so many magical shields used in the game is the icing on the cake.
If you think you're good enough, use a shield even if you don't take this job. The +2AC has been worth it so far.
4 Mobile
The pace of action increased
Mobile is one of the best achievements for clerics in Baldur's Gate 3. Increasing your speed allows you to quickly dodge attacks and heal allies on the other side. the war.
Difficult terrain won't slow you down if you Dash, so you can move through the battlefield faster than your enemies. After attacking, the target enemy cannot use Opportunity Attack against you, making your cleric more useful during battle.
3 Spell Sniper
The number of reviews has increased
While it can be a lot of fun to play as an immortal tank, Clerics can do a lot more. In fact, they can rival Wizards or Warlocks in their destructive spells in some situations. So why not double your offense and get the Spell Sniper feat? This feat gives you an extra cantrip, but more importantly it increases your critical hit count with spells.
This means you're twice as likely to hit your offensive spells, which have tons of them. Magic like 
Fire Bolt, 
Lead Boltand 
It hurts is a good reason to choose this song, and this work works with magic that you can get from other things or sources, which is nice.
2 Element Adept
Ignore the objections
Element Adept is more of a blast class oriented joke; a class such as a wizard or sorcerer whose primary function is to deal high damage through spells. However, a built Cleric can be effective at dealing magical damage, and they can take full advantage of Elemental Adept.
With this feat, you choose a type of damage and ignore any resistance to any type of damage your enemy may have. Your damage of this type also gets a slight boost on top of that. Clerics have bad spells, such as 
Glyph of Warding SY 
Flame Strikein addition to any other spells you receive from your Subclass.
This move allows you to ignore resistance, but not defense.
1 clever
Ready for anything
When looking at the best performance, we tend to focus on the most statistical battle advantage. However, performance can be surprising even without material benefits. Skills, for example, allow you to gain three additional skills. This is a good fit for a Cleric; a wise and devoted warrior who knew many things about the world.
Clerics are Wisdom-based spellcasters, so High Wisdom is already strong. Important skills like Insight, Perception, Survival, and Healing start with Wisdom. Clerics should also be proficient in Religion, History and Arcana to an extent, knowledge. This job is perfect for those who are looking for a way to immerse themselves more in the world.
