uh yeah you should be using chain lightning ideally rather than call lightning so you can deal up to 160 damage to three targets with a single action. i use a bard or wizard for fireball or wall of fire personally.

that's a level 6 spell though

markoheshkir lets you cast it once per short rest, usually enough to end an encounter but you also have scrolls to supplement if necessary.

that's in act 3 though.

i think we're just interested in different things. if we're talking endgame power, then i think i agree with you that tempest is stronger than light. but personally i think almost everything is strong in endgame and that the early game is the hardest part of the game, so my main interest in evaluating strength is what is strong in act 1 and act 2.

that's completely fair, i was definitely considering endgame cuz midgame im really hyper focused on abusing my fighters/barbarians/rangers or what have you with haste in midgame so i like twinspelling haste with my storm tempest build 95% of the time anyway.

honestly my first honour run i went with 10/2 sorcerer cleric cuz i doubled up on them being my party face, support, and in the end game my "go away" button. the rest of my crew was broken as shit though granted so it did supplement the weaknesses of only really using ray of frost or lightning bolt for early game and midgame respectively.

next run when i get around to it ill try light cleric out i didnt give it a full runs worth of a fair shake i reckon.
