In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Cleric Build is suitable for Wood Elves and Gold Dwarfs due to their primary ability, Wisdom. These races offer little knowledge advantages, making them ideal for Clerics with Strength. Wood Elves’ Dexterity makes them more effective with longbows, while Gold Dwarfs’ strong constitution and Dwarven Resilience make them more resilient and well-suited for melee combat. However, they are less adaptable than Wood Elves.

Best Cleric Subclass

Life Clerics have access to their domain’s spells, providing instant-cast options at various levels. Level 1 spells include Bless and Cure Wounds, while Level 3 spells include Assist and Lesser Restoration. Level 5 spells include Revivify and Beacon of Hope. The Life Domain is formidable with healing and supporting abilities that come with an AoE heal with Preserve Life. It is also the most defensive subclass due to its competence with Heavy Armor.

Best Cleric Equipment

Starting with the Longbow; it is available for purchase at the Druid Grove, and Armor Class is crucial for effective defense. Equip a Shortsword and a Studded Shield in your melee slot to increase your Armor Class. For later game, get the Adamantine Shield to inflict the Reeling Condition on your enemies.

Medium Armor options include Scale Mail +1 or Githyanki Half Plate. Herbalist’s Gloves neutralize poison, and Broodmother’s Vengeance poisons your weapon. Cast Healing Word on yourself and use the Bow to poison enemies, maximizing your chances of success.
