The only reason a character who can only function as a pure, or extremely light hybrid would have for taking cleric is offering, which isnt a very good one.
Cleric is a class for strength builds.
Reason one - Even with light armor as an intelligence heavy class you will die from lucky crits and multi-agro.
Reason two - If you're the only healer in a group and experience reason one, your group is all pissed; not always at you and always at different degrees

Reason three - Heals are calculated based off of the weapon, not intelligence. In a party where the STR build is healing all he needs is a bard.
Which leads me to the most reasonable class out of those you listed, bard.
Why?
You can choose whether you want only noise and moving march, or the ability to support a party. You control the SP farm, it doesnt control you.

^^^^^^Noise

Will save your robe wearing butt alot.
^^^^^^Moving March

+run speed pt buff/self buff. Run faster = grind faster.
Rogue is a no go! Cmon man you already got invisibility as a wizard!
If I were making a pure damage animal, I would make a warlock/wizard. Debuff+Nuke =

If you thought spear nukers did damage...lol do I have a story for you XD
Cleric is NOT for str builds......first of all, all the buffs u do with a cleric will disapere as soon as u switch weapons.
Second, dont expect to be a healer ROFL, u dont ahve enough mana to spam heal.
Cleric is not a very good sub class for the main reason....u cant keep your buffs and use your main tree. So unless you wana be labeled as "res bytch" cleric is a no no.
@topic starter, a cleric is nice since your pure int, but the buffs dont last, so u can choose between a cleric or wizard in situations, but not both. If u want to benefit from 2 classes all the time, then go for the bard.
