Very happy to hear about some love for the 2h clerics. So far the strongest way to play this class for me has been light 1h weapons and a membership to the warriors guild. Cleric guild benefits are still not useful in my opinion compared to dual and heavy hand for a light weapon cleric. The weapon gap is tough to get past, but once you can snag either despair or a primal fang (both possible by level 10) things speed up a lot. Still nowhere near the damage output of a warrior, particularly against groups, but one on one it is tanky as hell and the warrior skills raise the output high enough to be plenty deadly.
