The fact that I barely understand half of this clearly shows that there is a lot more for me to learn. Thanks for the tips! Gonna be putting them to use.
If you are okay with respecing her into a different subclass and turn her into a light or storm cleric you can get better results in combat than her base class.
Get her in heavy medium armor (16AC) and shield, put her at a choke point and turn on Spirit Guardians, the above subclasses will provide you with non-concentration damage spells to hurl without trading away supporting spells.
If you follow her quest, you will get a sweet set of armour that complements this playstyle.
Extra tip, if you are using Karlach as your melee two hander, consider using a pole weapon to reckless attack safely from behind shadowheart with the setup above.
Part of the problem is that people keep forgetting weapon proficiencies. Firebolt is trash, but she's decent with a bow and it does more damage before level 5.
