Tier 5 (1 rank, costs 2 AP): +1 evocation OR +1 necro OR +15 light OR +15 neg OR +9 universal SP
SLAs (all have three ranks, I'd guess lower cost and lower cooldown. Taking lower tier SLAs not required for higher tier)
Tier 1: Nimbus light OR chill touch
Tier 2: none available
Tier 3: Necrotic bolt OR searing light (necrotic bolt is different than PM version, can metamagic)
Tier 4: Holy smite OR unholy blight
Tier 5: Flame strike OR mass inflict moderate wounds
Thoughts: Additional spells and SLAs seem to be the theme. None are particularly good though and it just adds more clutter nobody wants. SLAs are a complete trap, with divines easily being able to splash wizard/sorc/fvs, who in their right mind woudl invest in SLAs when you could get free metas on all spells.
The caster system is seriously fucked across the board and the new PrE does nothing to provide a glimmer of hope.
What are you smoking?
Spell Power, Spell Points, Spell Pen, Crits, DC's? When have clerics EVER gotten DC bumps? Or Spell Power boosts to universal or force(BB)? Decent capstone, too. You are lumping clerics in with casters. You can't do that. Casters haven't been the red-headed step child for years. Casters have been top of the heap for years.
Look, it's not perfect. But "fucked" or "not a glimmer of hope"? You are being way too pessimistic and not very realistic given where Clerics are on live currently. This PrE would be an improvement over anything a cleric can do on live today.
