Question about Horc Melee Clerics

[phalaeo]

Hi all-
Looking over the Horc enhancements, it seems as though they gain the greatest benefit from using a two-hander, correct?

I know it is generally accepted that TWF is better DPS in most circumstances, and in planning melee Clerics, I'm not sure which option is better DPS-wise.

Also, I'm assuming that Divine Power + capped STR at 36-ish is enough to-hit with a two-hander... How far could I take Orcish Power Attack? The full line would decrease my to-hit by 3- is that too large a penalty to my attack for what I would gain damage-wise?

Character would be splashed with Fighter, so weapon proficiency isn't a problem.

Have a look at EinarMal's HO battle cleric.

twf for cleric is madness! And besides, no use in rolling a horc if you wont be going THF (as a clonk). The TWF perks should be your reason for choosing horc besides good looks

TWF battle cleric is acceptable as long as you want to be melee-focused and don't want good offensive spells; that's what my elf battle cleric does. Otherwise, I would agree; TWF takes up too many stat pts & feats for a caster-focused cleric.
