I'm new to playing DnD 5e and I'm looking to find some fun spells I may have overlooked for my level 11 light domain cleric. Throwing out fireballs and summoning spririt weapons is a blast but I want to know what other beloved cleric spells I may be overlooking. So lemmy dnd players what are your favorite spells for our blunt weapon only casters?

Part of it depends on how you want to play. Personally, I love playing a CC/buffer/debuffer version of cleric. Outside of the spells mentioned by others, here are some of my favourites:

Sanctuary — I can’t tell you how many times I’ve saved an ally/myself from death because of this spell.

Shield of Faith— cast this on your melee meat shield and let them do what they do best.

Faerie Fire — IMO one of the most underrated spells in the game.

Guidance — One of the best cantrips for people who like to role-play in towns and villages. Cast it on yourself or your bard and make haggling with townsfolk a whole lot easier.

Those are all pretty low level spells. And FWIW If you’re a fan of buffing/debuffing/CC than Twilight Cleric is fucking incredible. It’s basically broken if you know what you’re doing.

Sanctuary is a super interesting spell. There's a trick with it on the artillerist artificer where you can keep it up on yourself while attacking with your turret/gun
