I really wonder why the DC in this game does not have a hammer or a mace. Seriously, when I see a chain wearing Templar-style healer then I expect him to have a two-handed hammer, a one-handed hammer, a mace, a morning star, a flail... and not some sort of symbol with a chain attached to it that looks more like a cross that he holds up in the air in front of people praying. Why did they come up with such a "weapon" anyway???
I'd like to see a melee healer that comes with a melee weapon and with melee abilities that deal some decent damage and I want to have much more customization by using hammers, shields etc. The symbol becomes really boring, especially the attack animation with it really sucks. From all chars he really has the worst main-hand items (ok, the second worst because the orb of the CW is even worse).
Those symbols, totems, icons or whatever should go with shamans, druids, witch healers... The DC in Neverwinter is more like a battle priest. When you type in "Dungeon & Dragon cleric" into Google the first impressions you will see are knight-like characters with hammers/maces and often even shields and no symbol holding preaching freaks.
I'd like to see a Paragon path along with changes to the gear. Focussing on melee abilities that go along with a melee weapon. Melee abilities that are not far behind of those from a GF. A heavy armored battle priest should be able to deal some decent melee damage. And also he should be able to take some damage - he wears chain, he should be a tough enemy.

Hoping they bring out a warpriest/paladin kind of path aswell.
We are definitely dominating, and we are always about to win.
Maybe we can throw them?
In fact, if this would be authentic D&D 4 ... a DC could wield a hammer as a BC (battle cleric) could wield a symbol.
In fact, if this would be authentic D&D at all, any cleric who not use a symbol of their deity would not be able to cast any spell.
In fact, if this would be authentic Forgotten Realms, any cleric would at least carry the favoured weapon of his deity.
However, the only thing Neverwinter and Forgotten Realms have in common is the name. Nothing else.
The simple answer is that it would be too weird for Devoted Clerics in-game to wield maces/hammers when they actually lack any melee powers. It's all completely aesthetic - note that strength is still a secondary attribute to DCs.
In the future this should also help distinguish the DC from the Battle Cleric, which is a Leader/Striker class.
IF we could have Battle Cleric I agree DC wielding symbol would make more sense.
