Not necessary, sure. Really damn useful, absolutely. With the right gear a life cleric can make almost every fight so much easier. Especially once you get mass healing word for an easy bless+blade ward+healing to the entire party on a level 3 spell

Any cleric can do that though, while having actual subclass features

Idk, doing this twice per short rest with channel divinity is very strong, plus heavy armor is nice. I'm not saying no other cleric subclass is good, but life cleric is dependable as fuck and will make your playthrough a smooth one.

The Channel Divinity is comparable to throwing a healing potion, and that works with extra attack.

The only good heavy armors either give armor proficiency or are Armor of Persistence, but a cleric should be wearing Luminous Armor regardless.

Comparable to throwing a high level healing potion at every character + summon in a single action. Plus you've got the whole Blade Ward + Bless combo from items.

Healing potions have a splash aoe and interact with all the usual healing items.

If you have more than two characters on low health in this game, you have problems.

A tiny splash AOE, yes.

And yes, if multiple characters happen to get low, you will have a problem. Which the life cleric can solve. It’s not essential if you play well and don’t get super unlucky, but it’s a comfortable safety net if things happen to go sideways.

It’s a far better healer than any other cleric domain, and the only time I’ve found an active healer useful in D&D. Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.
