So Yesterday I started a campaign, I came there planing to make a monk but they needed a healer so I wound up rolling a half elf light cleric. I rolled pretty decently for my stats, getting 18 wisdom, 13 charisma, 12 Constitution and strength, 10 dexterity, and 8 intelligence. I picked up the variant sailor background and we were off. However I feel that so far I am a bit weak and non-varied, all i really did was heal and sacred flame people. Since I have such high stats I am going to pick up some feats, however I can't really think of any that would be all that useful for a light cleric. I mean maybe mounted combat so I can take advantage of that insane animal handling. I think I might also want to multiclass, but as I am more of a caster than a fighter I can't think of what into. Overall I am looking for something that will be fun to play in combat with some variety, I am actually decently useful out of combat so far. Any advice on building this character would be very useful!
I have never played a 5e cleric before so I am not sure what to do with this class.
Some side notes, my dm let me start with a shield that had my holy symbol on it, and my back-story was that I was the captain of the Beautiful Pirates, A ship of goblin pirates dedicated to physical buety, that got chosen by sune to eradicate the light (A organization that is executing anyone that worships a god). The characters name is Donner the dread/ The vain/ Bugbeard. I am the dedicated healer, we have 2 sorcerers, a paladin, a figher who is probably quitting, and 2 rogues, aka a lot of squishy damage dealers(ok the paladin and the figher are kind of tanky.) And although we are leveling slowly we will probably eventually reach lv 20.
Thank you for any advice you may give (also If I was mistaken as to the point of the character optimization forum I will delete this)
