[QUOTE="WarpedAcorn, post: 6988527, member: 6819400"] Which Archetype did you pick for your Rogue? If you did not go Arcane Trickster then you might ask your DM to switch over. This way you can add some caster levels to your spell slots. It won't give you access to higher level spells quicker, but it will give you access to higher level spell slots for you to upgrade lower level spells (if applicable). Of course if you went Swashbuckler then their Fancy Footwork could synergy great with Booming Blade, allowing you to move in, attack, and move away without an AoO, then if the enemy moves they take extra damage. As for which class to look into...it depends a lot on the type of games you are playing. Does the DM give you a lot of rests? If so then Wizard might look more appealing. But if he is a Death-Marcher and you find yourself constantly out of spell slots then the Rogue will look better (since their Sneak Attack is always available and the main source of their damage). Personally, I would lean to maybe 1 more level of Wizard to get access to 2nd level spells (mainly for some added Defenses like Mirror Image or Blur), and then focus on Rogue. [/QUOTE]
