The issue is out cleric player is upset that they are a heal bot and everytime it comes to a fight, they have to be in range to heal the fighters. What this person fails to understand is this is the main task
With respect, man - F that noise.
Your problem is not that the cleric character does not understand his role. Your problem is that one of the players is not enjoying game. If you feel so acutely that people should do their allotted tasks, why don't you swap characters with the other player? You be healbot! You do it! And if you don't want to do this because you'd find it boring - well dude, you should think about that for a bit.
I had a similar issue pre-Pathfinder. The cleric eventually snapped at the party and insulted their intelligence in the process - "I'm a warrior of my god, not a magical bandaid! I'm capable of tending to wounds after battles, or during in the case of extreme injuries, but I'm not running a nursery for children playing with knives! Sharpen your wits and stop leaving yourselves so open to attack, before my god decides you're not worth healing anymore..."
I'm thinking of running a minmaxed healbot for pfs. I'll give him a dex and str of 8, which fluff-wise will be because he's outrageously old and slightly blind. And deaf. "What's that, boy? Can't hear you! You want me to shimmy across that rope? At my age? Light of Saranrae! If only I *could* shimmy across ropes like you whippersnappers!"
As in - ok guys, you want a healbot? Cool. But deal with this.
