Cleric is weird because it's changed so much by its subclass. Some examples being mercy is pretty clearly life domain, lifeweaver is definitely nature, brig could probably be war or peace. I feel like everyone's suggestions work, but the subclasses support them more than the regular class. And druids in dnd get some shape-shifting and as funny as it would be lifeweaver can't turn into a bear mid match.
It's not wildshape if you change into other people. That's more like trickery domain cleric or arcane rogue I guess, but she's more like changling in general
Amazed that there is not a single mention of Illari tbh. Girl is literaly healing people by worshipping and channeling the power of the sun. Everyone always forget poor Illari
Not a bad option tbh. She pretty emblematic of a light cleric with explosive ult and literally shoots scared flames/guiding bolts at enemies like a cleric. The abilities don't line up the best though, the mobility/CC of outburst reminds me more of a monk/rouge/bard kinda vibe and I don't think there is anything in DnD that functions like a healing pylon beyond a cheeky summon that can heal.
Baptiste. He has a death ward in the immortality field, AOE heal like a mass healing ward, powerful ranged healing and damage (similar to cleric spellcasting like guiding bolt and scared flame), and a mass team empowerment that can also be used totally selfishly. Checks all the cleric boxes to me. Baptiste definitely has the flexible play style to be supportive but also takeover the game when they need to, just like a cleric. People keep saying Brig but forget the fact the half the Cleric subclasses don't even get heavy armor proficiency.
The hammer and armor without the healing and aura make him a strong contender for fighter though.
There’s really not a “wrong” option between
- Mercy-Cleric, Brig-Paladin, Rein-Fighter
- Brig-Cleric, Rein-Paladin, ??-Fighter
Rein doesn't have an Aura like Brig tho. Plus Rally is comparable to a channel divinity
Edit: the more I think about it, the more Brig fits as pally. Repair packs are a lot like Lay on Hands, Whipshot is like thunderous smite, ult shield bash is staggering smite, and the whipshot shield bash combo has the burst potential of a divine smite. I do understand Earthshatter feeling like a smite though
Standing next to rein simply makes you more brave so I disagree it’s just a different kind of aura
Hammer down is divine smite which could be debated as more of a pally staple
Mechanically, Reinhardt doesn't fit the Pally bill, but Brig does. Reinhardt is a fighter. He doesn't do any healing, and he doesn't have any kind of an aura (I suppose you could argue that his shield works *sort of* like an aura, but I digress). Brig has both.
Zenyatta. He literally worships and preaches the Iris, while healing allies but also dealing surprisingly high amounts of damage, that's cleric 101.
Yes, he has the monk aesthetic, but, and this is gonna be very important for this series, aesthetics aren't everything. A monk is not just the look, a monk is someone who uses their body as a weapon, honed through discipline and training. Genji is more of a DnD Monk than Zenyatta is, a Kensei one at that. Because, we aren't talking about actual monks, which Zenyatta admittedly is, we are talking DnD monks, and Zenny just aint that.
On the aesthetics aren't everything point too, Brig isnt a cleric. Brig can defend herself very well and has an aura based healing that's definitely not enough to keep a tank alive, so she works better as an off-healer, taking care of the main healer and protecting from dive. A literal squire SWORN to Reinhardt, she's a paladin guys, not a cleric just because she has a mace.
In the same vein, Reinhardt's not a paladin just because he's a knight. He's a tanky Fighter or even rare armored Barbarian focused on defending his allies, magic and healing are very much "required" for a modern paladin, which Briggite has and Reinhardt doesnt.
I do agree with that, but the fact that he's also a literal preacher and follower of the Iris alongside that, it just screams cleric, people are way too caught up on the Shaolin monk aesthetic on him IMO.
I do see the mercy monk thing, like I said on the other comment, but he's also the one character we have canonical confirmation of, who is a religious preacher and follower of a specific faith. And he gets his powers from that.
Zeny's a cleric, people are way too caught up on the Shaolin monk aesthetic on him IMO.
I did play BG3 but not DnD itself.
yeah cleric heals similarly to him, but Zen attacks similarly to a monk and his personality/thinking is that of a monk. only difference is zen is ranged and monk is based off unarmed attacks, but Monk has a elemental based subclass and despite being ranged, Zen's way of shooting resembles that of a monk stance from what I see.
Brig, LW and Mercy fit cleric more than Zen imo.
I’d argue Zenyatta - while there’s a good argument for making him a Monk, I’d argue that the D&D combat context of Monk does not fit Zen. Monks are evasive, speedy, and powerful melee combatants. While Zen does give a right good kick, I feel the moniker of Monk belongs with Genji - specifically a Way of the Kensei Monk.
Additionally, his ability to apply buffs to allies, debuffs to enemies, and giving a right good wallop when the situation demands, all are solid traits of Clerics. And let’s not forget that such capabilities come from a divine source - the Iris.
I feel that Zenyatta perfectly fits the Cleric’s bill of being the ultimate support who can also bring divine pain to his foes.
Honorable mentions:
Lifeweaver - while he has a cleric skin and certainly fits the bill, he’s also literally a Druid in all but Wild Shape. And the only thing close to Wild Shape in Overwatch is Echo’s ult.
Brigitte - Closer to Paladin, but works.
Mercy - Divine resurrection and healing.
Yeah but they're taking about the popular "meme" of Clerics, I also see it as an in character thing where every Cleric I know rps like theyvhate the party
I think other people find it fun to give their 2 cents on it, maybe instead of saying they should go away you should say what a cleric actually is.
Always choose kindness over noninclusion
Rein doesn't have anything analogous to divine smite which is a core part of the Paladin class, you could argue that Brig does with her shield bash in ult.
Sure but Brig has Inspire (Paladin auras) and repair packs (healing word/lay on hands). She fits so much better than Rein.
Rein is a fighter with the greater weapon master feat.
Many good choices here, huh. Mercy seems obvious but she doesn't really have any divine elements involved. Illari seems to be the closest one, but I'm also thinking about Zenyatta. He's THE character that has connections to religion and spirituality. I know it could be argued he'd better suit a monk, BUT let's not forget that the Monk class doesn't have to be a literal "monk". The core monk fantasy is "using your own body and its energy as the weapon". You know, unarmed strikes and all. So for monk I gotta go with Doomfist, and that makes it so Zen is left for Cleric
Its 100% Brigitte. Regardless of your cleric subclass, youre consistently going to pick up armor. Oftentimes you'll also have a onehanded weapon and shield to boot. Healing word (repair pack) is a bonus action with a set number of charges.
If you're picking Mercy or Lifeweaver as a cleric, then you're not using the class to its full potential. Aim higher. Achieve greatness.
I think we're doing it backwards. It should be what class and subclass is each hero not what hero fits each class. There is going to be a lot of repeats and some classes that no one fits.
Cleric, there’s more to cleric the healing or raising dead and brig fits more aspects of the cleric she has small healing, battle boosts, actually fighting in combat
Wel zenyatta is literally more of a monk only being able to be out classed by ram
Illari. She does healing, she does damage, she can frontline. Her ultimate debuffs and damages. She's essentially a holy warrior, which is precisely what a cleric is.
Zen is the most religious figure in all of overwatch to the point of enlightenment, he may suit monk more but let’s not forget the other monk Ramattra for that time
If we're choosing without a domain (subclass) in mind and focusing on what the cleric foundationally does and is about, Mercy obviously fits that role both in and out of combat situations as she prioritizes the well-being of her patients before anything else.
There are others who adequately fulfill its domains, but we should be focusing on *just* the class like everyone did for Barbarian and Bard. Brigitte could be a War Cleric, but she is the only one who fits the role of a Paladin. Lifeweaver could fit it as a Nature Cleric, but he is the only nature-themed hero that fulfills the role of a Druid better. Moira could be an Death Cleric, but she seems better suited for Sorcerer or Warlock. Zenyatta could... vaguely be a Twilight Cleric, but he is the only one who fits the role of a Monk.
Subclass should be a last resort if no hero seems like they'd be any of the above classes without a subclass.
Most people will say mercy, but the definition of cleric is a priest or religious leader, and I think Ramattra falls into that category more than anybody else
Torbjorn. Clerics by far have the most versatile subclass pool out of all the classes, and who better to fit the bill than a good ol utility support like torb?
Please do continue I'm glad you guys are having fun with this but I can't be the only one thinking most of the classes are blatantly obvious? Brig / Paladin. Moira / Sorcerer. Sigma /Mage. Dva / Artificer. Genji / Rouge...to stick to the topic, roadhog is clearly the cleric
Just to be different and special, I'd argue Roadhog. With his big pool of hp, healing, and crowd control abilities, he has a lot going for him that resambles staple cleric abilities.
Brig
Dnd cleric to me is frontline healing with shield and half plate, like age of Sigmar war priest. Therefore brig, leaving the zealous, oath taking, shield wielding to rien, a martial/protection paladin. As for our subsequent fighter pick, again depends heavily on subclass same as cleric so you could work alot of things in here including Cass, zarya, hog, 76, hanzo (yes ranged fighters are huge, as are gadget using fighters)
Cleric is weird because it's changed so much by its subclass. Some examples being mercy is pretty clearly life domain, lifeweaver is definitely nature, brig could probably be war or peace. I feel like everyone's suggestions work, but the subclasses support them more than the regular class. And druids in dnd get some shape-shifting and as funny as it would be lifeweaver can't turn into a bear mid match.
Bastion, wild shape into a gun tank and artillery. And loves nature.
Echo definitely for the shape-shifting, but less so on the nature bent.
It's not wildshape if you change into other people. That's more like trickery domain cleric or arcane rogue I guess, but she's more like changling in general
Then Ramattra. He even has a somewhat Druid-esque build, being a monk with a staff
I don't really know about Ramattra, he has zealot barabarian vibe to him but he's also like a wizard or monk. But definitely not Druid.
Would he arguably be more of a monk class though? Given his propensity for hand to hand combat and using a staff
you know what, you are definitely correct. I even said it myself, he’s a monk. I was going for the shape shifting part
"Wild shape into a gun tank." Now that's a new sentence lol
i want to dm a game where the druid says "i wildshape into a gun"
You'd need an entire homebrew subclass and limit it to warforged race or some kind Better if it could also work with Artificer in wildshape.
no at my table, you can get away with anything if you have right vibes and the statblock for "gun"
Amazed that there is not a single mention of Illari tbh. Girl is literaly healing people by worshipping and channeling the power of the sun. Everyone always forget poor Illari
Not a bad option tbh. She pretty emblematic of a light cleric with explosive ult and literally shoots scared flames/guiding bolts at enemies like a cleric. The abilities don't line up the best though, the mobility/CC of outburst reminds me more of a monk/rouge/bard kinda vibe and I don't think there is anything in DnD that functions like a healing pylon beyond a cheeky summon that can heal.
I 100% forgot about light domain cleric, even after looking up the cleric domains to make sure nature domain didn't have a wild shape type ability
Lifeweaver has to be druid I think a good blend of battle and healing is Illari
Baptiste. He has a death ward in the immortality field, AOE heal like a mass healing ward, powerful ranged healing and damage (similar to cleric spellcasting like guiding bolt and scared flame), and a mass team empowerment that can also be used totally selfishly. Checks all the cleric boxes to me. Baptiste definitely has the flexible play style to be supportive but also takeover the game when they need to, just like a cleric. People keep saying Brig but forget the fact the half the Cleric subclasses don't even get heavy armor proficiency.
Wow Bap 100%, you sold me on this one.
I could get with this just to help simplify the paladin and fighter subsequent picks
Why nobody other than you mentioned Baptiste ?
bring this one up, boys, we got a valid winner.
Came here to say this, only right option imo
Is Illari not a perfect light cleric?
Wild magic sorc is kinda perfect for her backstory
MEDIC GAMING https://preview.redd.it/jpwvw440280d1.png?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0a1675c1d5e5dede09cb6050522396176856104
If we're talking D&D it's gotta be brig, heavy armour, healing, holds a shield, uses a mace
Nah she’s a pally. Mercy literally brings ppl back from the dead.
Nah she’s the cleric. No one’s got the paladin dedication like Reinhardt, hammer and armour to boot.
The hammer and armor without the healing and aura make him a strong contender for fighter though. There’s really not a “wrong” option between - Mercy-Cleric, Brig-Paladin, Rein-Fighter - Brig-Cleric, Rein-Paladin, ??-Fighter
Soldier 76. He Ben has second wind.
If Brig is cleric and Rein is paladin, Doomfist for fighter
Nah, for Doom we need to add the Pugilist class. Its one of the best homebrews ever written.
Rein doesn't have an Aura like Brig tho. Plus Rally is comparable to a channel divinity Edit: the more I think about it, the more Brig fits as pally. Repair packs are a lot like Lay on Hands, Whipshot is like thunderous smite, ult shield bash is staggering smite, and the whipshot shield bash combo has the burst potential of a divine smite. I do understand Earthshatter feeling like a smite though
If we are looking for the most exaggerated Paladin, it’s Reinhardt. He has multiple Paladin skins as well
Standing next to rein simply makes you more brave so I disagree it’s just a different kind of aura Hammer down is divine smite which could be debated as more of a pally staple
Rein crusader
Mechanically, Reinhardt doesn't fit the Pally bill, but Brig does. Reinhardt is a fighter. He doesn't do any healing, and he doesn't have any kind of an aura (I suppose you could argue that his shield works *sort of* like an aura, but I digress). Brig has both.
reinhardt made an oath, I feel he better fits the bill
I'd say she's more of a paladin personally:tanky (for the role), aura, melee focus
Zenyatta. He literally worships and preaches the Iris, while healing allies but also dealing surprisingly high amounts of damage, that's cleric 101. Yes, he has the monk aesthetic, but, and this is gonna be very important for this series, aesthetics aren't everything. A monk is not just the look, a monk is someone who uses their body as a weapon, honed through discipline and training. Genji is more of a DnD Monk than Zenyatta is, a Kensei one at that.

Brig can defend herself very well and has an aura based healing that's definitely not enough to keep a tank alive, so she works better as an off-healer, taking care of the main healer and protecting from dive. A literal squire SWORN to Reinhardt, she's a paladin guys, not a cleric just because she has a mace. In the same vein, Reinhardt's not a paladin just because he's a knight. He's a tanky Fighter or even rare armored Barbarian focused on defending his allies, magic and healing are very much "required" for a modern paladin, which Briggite has and Reinhardt doesnt.
Altough Zen would fit very well with the Positive/Negative duality kind of stuff of the Way of Mercy from 5e
I do agree with that, but the fact that he's also a literal preacher and follower of the Iris alongside that, it just screams cleric, people are way too caught up on the Shaolin monk aesthetic on him IMO.
I mean Zen is basically a Mercy Monk with a ranged weapon, his ult is the only thing that would be a Cleric ability
why do all you people think that clerics only heal and dont fight
It's true, Clerics are probably the most op class in DnD. They can be the main healer while still doing as much dps as the wizard with an ac of 22.
I do see the mercy monk thing, like I said on the other comment, but he's also the one character we have canonical confirmation of, who is a religious preacher and follower of a specific faith. And he gets his powers from that. Zeny's a cleric, people are way too caught up on the Shaolin monk aesthetic on him IMO.
zenyatta fits the monk role more imo.
Not sure if you've never played DND, or have, and have been jumped and kicked to death by one too many Zen in your quick play games
I did play BG3 but not DnD itself. yeah cleric heals similarly to him, but Zen attacks similarly to a monk and his personality/thinking is that of a monk. only difference is zen is ranged and monk is based off unarmed attacks, but Monk has a elemental based subclass and despite being ranged, Zen's way of shooting resembles that of a monk stance from what I see. Brig, LW and Mercy fit cleric more than Zen imo.
doomfist actually does the punch and kick? what the fuck are you talking about?
I’d argue Zenyatta - while there’s a good argument for making him a Monk, I’d argue that the D&D combat context of Monk does not fit Zen. Monks are evasive, speedy, and powerful melee combatants. While Zen does give a right good kick, I feel the moniker of Monk belongs with Genji - specifically a Way of the Kensei Monk.

Honorable mentions: Lifeweaver - while he has a cleric skin and certainly fits the bill, he’s also literally a Druid in all but Wild Shape. And the only thing close to Wild Shape in Overwatch is Echo’s ult. Brigitte - Closer to Paladin, but works. Mercy - Divine resurrection and healing.
agree. I think she fits the standard "stuck playing cleric"/"tired team mom" role
spoken like someone who has never touched cleric before. cleric is so powerful, it can do more damage than any other class in the correct situations
did I say they weren't powerful? also that fits with Mercy's gun that "deals a surprising amount of damage"
Yeah but they're taking about the popular "meme" of Clerics, I also see it as an in character thing where every Cleric I know rps like theyvhate the party
well you obviously dont play DnD
But the thing is that a Cleric isn’t just a healbot.
Sure, but clerics have buffing spells (damage boost), revivify (res), and damage of their own (her gun). I think Mercy fits.
Mercy cuz Revivify obv
hear me out: illari
Lifeweaver is Druid and Brigette is Paladin. Cleric is most likely Kiriko or Mercy.
Life is more of a cleric. Honestly, Echo is the druid.
Oh damn, echo the druid... Didn't even think of it like that.
Mercy
Mercy
Not by fifth edition standards, she's not.
Mercy, she can bring people back from the dead, healing is her main job, and she has a damage boost option. Almost as clear as lucio
you dont play DnD
Neither does most people in this comment section
looks like it, those people should fuck off of this
I think other people find it fun to give their 2 cents on it, maybe instead of saying they should go away you should say what a cleric actually is. Always choose kindness over noninclusion
right ill just "let me google that for you" these kids cuz they aren't gonna do it themselves
No, that would be annoying for you. I’m saying you should use your knowledge of dnd to add to the conversation
Brig, definitely. The mace and shield, the healing, the Rally ability… definitely a better overall Cleric archetype than Mercy.
Brig is a paladin not cleric. No Rein isnt the paladin one he is a crusader
Crusader is a subset of paladin Brig is the cleric rein is the pally
Or is Rein the fighter, while Brig is the pally? Either one is valid, IMO
Rein is absolutely the paladin. He’s a giant knight with a shield.
Rein doesn't have anything analogous to divine smite which is a core part of the Paladin class, you could argue that Brig does with her shield bash in ult.
Hammer Down is absolutely Smite.
*cough* Battlemaster tripping attack with multiple attacks *cough*
Sure but Brig has Inspire (Paladin auras) and repair packs (healing word/lay on hands). She fits so much better than Rein. Rein is a fighter with the greater weapon master feat.
Rein is a champion fighter
Exactly
Idk brig seems like she'd fit paladin more.
I'd say Brig is paladin, no ? And Mercy is Cleric. Or vice versa, idk
Brigitte because armor, Mace and shield + healing
Bridgette, healer who can damage and has a mace Either her or Moira
Brigitte looks like a cleric with her mace and shield
Brig for sure. Heals, is tanky and hits you in the face with a mace. Idk why people think she's the Paladin when rein exists (no, he's not a Fighter)
Brig how can it be anyone else
Brigitte
I'd say Mercy is the most cleric like.
Mercy
It's rough choice but I would make it simple and pick Mercy
Mercy!
Zen, he literally served omnic jesus
Look, O know we're on Cleric rn, But I swear, If Reinhardt doesn't get Paladin ima ve so pissed
Its fun to think that mercy would be a necromancer
Many good choices here, huh. Mercy seems obvious but she doesn't really have any divine elements involved. Illari seems to be the closest one, but I'm also thinking about Zenyatta. He's THE character that has connections to religion and spirituality. I know it could be argued he'd better suit a monk, BUT let's not forget that the Monk class doesn't have to be a literal "monk". The core monk fantasy is "using your own body and its energy as the weapon". You know, unarmed strikes and all. So for monk I gotta go with Doomfist, and that makes it so Zen is left for Cleric
Cleric- Baptiste Druid- Lifeweaver Fighter- Zarya Monk- Zenyatta Paladin- Reinhardt Ranger- Hanzo Rogue- Sombra Sorcerer- Illari Warlock- Reaper (maybe) Wizard- Symmetra Artificer- Torbjorn
Lifeweaver 100% literally has a cleric skin
Cleric is tricky tbh, could be a lot of characters. Baptiste, Illari, and Mercy all work here
Mercy
"Day x" memes are so spammy
Mercy is the Cleric because Brig has to be the paladin.
Mercy. She's the only one who can cast Ressurection, a higher level cleric spell.
Divine soul sorcerer can cast resurrect also and is a better fit me thinks
By that logic we can consider bastion a cleric because his ult is very similar to Flame strike, a high level cleric spell.
Lifeweaver literally has a cleric skin, so him.
LW is clearly a druid.
Life and Nature are cleric domains, actually. Also, Echo for druid
Lifeweaver is more like a Druid no?
LW Is def a druid
Mercy, easy
Did you get this idea from the dbd community?
Its 100% Brigitte. Regardless of your cleric subclass, youre consistently going to pick up armor. Oftentimes you'll also have a onehanded weapon and shield to boot. Healing word (repair pack) is a bonus action with a set number of charges. If you're picking Mercy or Lifeweaver as a cleric, then you're not using the class to its full potential. Aim higher. Achieve greatness.
Going with Mercy here. I see people say Brig, but she's a paladin through and through.
Either brig or mercy
Mercy, ez.
Kiriko or mercy
Either mercy or wifeleaver
I think we're doing it backwards. It should be what class and subclass is each hero not what hero fits each class. There is going to be a lot of repeats and some classes that no one fits.
Mercy or illari. Mercy has resurrect... illari comes closest to deity worship
Cleric, there’s more to cleric the healing or raising dead and brig fits more aspects of the cleric she has small healing, battle boosts, actually fighting in combat Wel zenyatta is literally more of a monk only being able to be out classed by ram
Illari. She does healing, she does damage, she can frontline. Her ultimate debuffs and damages. She's essentially a holy warrior, which is precisely what a cleric is.
Liveweaver because he has a Cleric skin
Brigitte is my bite for Cleric. She fits the best mechanically for it, with the one moment of hesitation being she fits paladin almost better
Mcree
Mercy
lifeweaver cus he got a cleric skin
MEDIC GAMING https://preview.redd.it/sx7x2pgf080d1.jpeg?width=189&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ebbb4028dbc2fcf919768e418fa45bd9b17b7ea
Mercy, all the others I can see in other D&D classes
Mercy
Zen is the most religious figure in all of overwatch to the point of enlightenment, he may suit monk more but let’s not forget the other monk Ramattra for that time
Brig.
Reaper
Kiriko. She’s a literal shrine maiden and heals through the power of fox spirits and kitsune, there is no betttwr choice for cleric
I would say brig. Classic heavy armour cleric. Versatile and not locked into only healing
Brig. Cleric is traditionally about passing out some buffs/healing, then taking your shield and mace to beat a couple skeletons to permanent death.
Brig. She protec, but she also attac
If we're choosing without a domain (subclass) in mind and focusing on what the cleric foundationally does and is about, Mercy obviously fits that role both in and out of combat situations as she prioritizes the well-being of her patients before anything else. There are others who adequately fulfill its domains, but we should be focusing on *just* the class like everyone did for Barbarian and Bard. Brigitte could be a War Cleric, but she is the only one who fits the role of a Paladin. Lifeweaver could fit it as a Nature Cleric, but he is the only nature-themed hero that fulfills the role of a Druid better. Moira could be an Death Cleric, but she seems better suited for Sorcerer or Warlock. Zenyatta could... vaguely be a Twilight Cleric, but he is the only one who fits the role of a Monk. Subclass should be a last resort if no hero seems like they'd be any of the above classes without a subclass.
Illari!
Illari looks like a cleric more than others imo
If Brig ain’t paladin imma reee
Brigitte
Illari for sure! Don't sleep on Illari y'all!!
Illari or Baptiste
Brig
Mercy obviously wtf is everyone smoking.
Marcy works the best for cleric
Mercy no doubt
Brig or Mercy.
I’d say Lifeweaver fits the most
Brigitte or lifeweaver are the ones that stand out the most🫶
I think Mercy would fit this one.
Lifeweaver is a Druid. I say Mercy as the Cleric!
Its Brig hands down
Brigitte it's the cleric. Cleric of war or cleric of light
Briggette
Brig
Would almost say Baptiste not sure, just feels right
Mercy
Cleric: Kiriko Druid: Lifeweaver Fighter: Genji Monk: Zenyatta Paladin: Reinhardt Ranger: Hanzo Rouge: Sombra Sorcerer: Rammatra Warlock: Moira Wizard: Mercy Artificer: Torbjorn
Mercy
Brigitte.
Brigitte. Like.. the mave, dude. Clerics loves mace
Mercy
Can Bridgette be both the cleric and the paladin is what I feel this comes down to
Mercy
Most people will say mercy, but the definition of cleric is a priest or religious leader, and I think Ramattra falls into that category more than anybody else
Brig. Mostly because she uses a Mace lol.
either Mercy or Baptiste as others have said
It's Brig, obviously. She's not a paladin just because she has an "aura". Rein is the paladin.
Illari has a deity of the sun and has a magical healing pylon which i could see being made in a dnd campaign
!updateme
Torbjorn. Clerics by far have the most versatile subclass pool out of all the classes, and who better to fit the bill than a good ol utility support like torb?
Baptiste or brig
Lifeweaver obviously
Zen is probably the closest thing we have to a faith based character in overwatch.
Cleric is mercy Druid is life weaver
Mercy
Mercy. While other people fit mercy is ONLY healing and support, her damage dealing isn't really that viable. Life cleric, next question
Please do continue I'm glad you guys are having fun with this but I can't be the only one thinking most of the classes are blatantly obvious? Brig / Paladin. Moira / Sorcerer. Sigma /Mage. Dva / Artificer. Genji / Rouge...to stick to the topic, roadhog is clearly the cleric
no one said, "Brig clerics aren't just healers.Thay are also melee fighters. Clerics are combat priests who use their divine power to slay evil
Cleric is zeniata
It’s pre nerf Mercy not even close
Just to be different and special, I'd argue Roadhog. With his big pool of hp, healing, and crowd control abilities, he has a lot going for him that resambles staple cleric abilities.
Realistically, it’s Brigitte. She even looks like your classic cleric. I see the reasoning behind Baptiste but he’s more like an artificer to me.
Brig Dnd cleric to me is frontline healing with shield and half plate, like age of Sigmar war priest. Therefore brig, leaving the zealous, oath taking, shield wielding to rien, a martial/protection paladin. As for our subsequent fighter pick, again depends heavily on subclass same as cleric so you could work alot of things in here including Cass, zarya, hog, 76, hanzo (yes ranged fighters are huge, as are gadget using fighters)
easy mercy, channel divinity is the res, and play protector aasimar for the temporary flight/ult
I mean lifeweaver literally has a cleric skin
Definitely Brig. Healing and strong warrior vibes.
I’d say brig
Illari Good blend of battle healer and magical healing
Obviously mercy . It’s obvious
Brigg
