Guild Wars 2

Is their any class/build in which Cleric is a superior option to Settler?

I like regen/tank builds but the power/cleric version seems infinitely weaker than condition/settler no matter what class you run…

A build like Support Bunker Guardian uses Clerics rather than Settler’s for the higher healing power as opposed to the higher toughness.

Other than that, I can’t really think of a reason. Other than certain AI builds which just prefer power as a stat than condition damage.

Minion master would heavily prefer cleric, because it doesn’t deal any condition damage and the extra healing power helps you just as much personally, but also adds significant AoE healing for your minions.

Generally speaking it just matters whether you do condition damage or not, and whether you use the healing power for self-sustain or group sustain. If you don’t deal any condition damage, like MM, then Cleric is obvious choice, and also if you are going healing power for the allied healing the extra toughness probably isn’t all that important.

OK cool, so it does have its uses. Just not the kind of thing every class could use.
