Paladins can do the same, and deal as much if not more damage. However, things change depending on the domain.

The party consist of a wild magic user, war cleric, bard, rogue, fighter, and monk. But the person playing the fighter usually only stays for an hour or two so they never see combat.
War Cleric? Yeah, that can happen. My second game I played one, where I was taking most of the hits, dealing high damage (good rolls) and healing when needed. At the beginning War Clerics can do a lot well or even better than others. But later on the others can "come online" with their skills that will probably overshadow the War Cleric in some aspects. More spell slots, more attacks, higher AC etc depending on builds.
Yeah, once others get 2 attacks each round or get access to fireball etc they slowly out spike dmg a war cleric. Though they will always have the potential out damage other classes over longer fights with spirit guardians etc.
1. They are the group tank.
2. They have the second highest magic DPS in the group.
3. They are the highest melee dps in the group.
well you not giving much context. what build is he what the party composition.
you example could be a group of 2 where second player ranger seem natural he qualify for all those.

Doesn't seem that surprising to me. I am quessing he has war cleric/heavy armor/2 handed weapon and the party pretty low level?
1) can be conteste by fighter/monk later levels depending on there builds.
2)you only have 3 caster where bard/cleric doesnt have much damage spell.
3)Fighter and rogue can melee outdamge cleric if they have extra attack/more sneak damage dice.
