Instead of who though?
They can't replace a paladin due to lack of end chant.
Can't replace a theurgist (obviously).
A cleric can heal and rez much better.
A merc or armsie is better for melee damage due to being a pure tank and having determination for the dragon stun. Mercs also have the advantage of having two swords for dual damage adds and the best bleed in the game.

Polearm armsman - friar has no det and lower weaponskill.
Scout - needed for the bow, arrows have some special characteristics I think.
Cleric - Friars don't have 100% res or spec buffs.
Reaver - Friars can't debuff.
Paladin - Friars can't end chant, despite what it says the primary reason for paladins is endurance.

tbh, reaver debuffs stick like 0.3% of the time on epic mobs, could swap one for a friar

 

[Garaen]

Python stick's every few hit's.

Paladin - Best Heat

i assume by Best heat he means best heat resist chant(which friars can do better)

Cleric - Friars don't have 100% res or spec buffs.
half of the clerics conc also gos on baseline buffs too

You can't remove the paladin though, no paladin means no end which means massively reduced damage.

And lacking the 100% res and good heals of the cleric. Ressing is key in dragon fights.
