I know this is a hard build if you do point buy or standard array but with good starting ability rolls it might be possible....I toyed with a Human Knowledge Cleric of Gond / Battle Smith Art build....for a Gish Polearm master, liked the synergies, this char had my best starting ability rolls 11, 12, 12, 14, 15, 17. Of course that was with high stat rolls via DND beyond char build. I actually now think the Sorc/Art might be a better build. Anyone try this or have ideas?
A lot of the benefits of the PAM, artificer and clockwork is the bonus actions and reaction. You only get 1 of those per round so you lose a lot of what makes these things good.
You are either going to lose the usefulness of the PAM bonus attack or the steel defender attack You only get 1 reaction, so if you use restore balance, you wont get your PAM opportunity attack, or shield etc.
On top of that the ability scores just dont line up well. Needing a decent int/cha/ and con is not a good thing

I don't see much synergy.
