The sad truth is... Priests get shafted in BG2. They may perform wonderfully in IWD and PnP, but they are mediorce in BG2.

I really agree with everything you said... and more. Instead of creating different yet equally skilled spellcaster classes - the game features a great unjustice: Mages get the better equipment (The Staff alone can make all the difference in the world, sadly) AND the better spells (cf. Project Image). If that wasn't enough, there's that Sorcerer guy. And as if to add insult to injury, there's an abundance of You Don't Need A Cleric To Do That items, which emulate and even surpass the original spell.

To put it bluntly... Mages get The Staff. Clerics get the shaft. Sad, isn't it?
