Clerics are viable, mostly because the miracle allows them to heal more times than any other class. The mace is also quite powerful.

However, their stats are underwhelming overall, with their endurance, adaptability and dexterity all being especially low. With that in mind, you'd basically pick a cleric for the equipment, not the stats.
