Or cloud giant and at 27 str you are golden. It is so busted that I don't bother with STR on my fighters/barbs and pump into dex.

Light domain for full support cleric, life domain for healbot, war domain for punchy cleric. You can trim dex to 10 but initiative will suffers a lot although there's item that can improve that but normally don't really dump dex to 8

5e rules: if in doubt pump dex it’s never wrong.

Light Domain Full Support Cleric? What? Light Cleric is a AoE Damage Machine. You waste potential if you just do "support"

Light Domain is best Domain IMO and you only really need a bit of Dex, max Wisdom and Con for it. As others have said you can just drink Potions of Giant STR if you really want the Strength, but there's multiple items in the later half of the game that can just set a stat to a certain number so you can dump stat that stat.

Light Domain can just about solo most fights in Act 2, while also protecting your teammates as a reaction. Act 3 it doesn't even matter what Domain you choose as you are so powerful at that point between being high level and having so many magic items available, you can make anything work.

Tempest is also pretty good, the on demand maximized spell damage (channel divinity) is really useful.
If you wanna go the martial way then War Domain obviously, the extra attacks are always welcome.
I'd only stay on Trickery if you are rolling a stealth heavy party (Rogues, Gloomstalkers)
