[QUOTE="Kithas, post: 6863520, member: 97587"] Ah didnt realize you where doing a great weapon path. Gwm as a feat in general isnt very good, the bonus action swing is rare at best, and doesnt comba well with your smite spells. The -5+10 is unreliable at best and because of your smites any fight where this is useful you will not need the extra advantage. I'd say skip it and grab warcaster BB as a reaction and adv on your concentration saves is massive. Booming blade will actually out-damage extra attack usually and especially after level 5. -math- 2d6+3+1d8=15.5 Lvl3 with gwf 2d6+3+2d8=20 Lvl5 -vs 2d6+3=11 4d6+6=22 A difference of 2 damage after extra attack if they stay adjacent, if they move add 4.5-9 damage. Also you get to do some silly nova turns with a bit of setup. Turn before after you swing cast thunderous smite, then quicken a booming blade as a bonus actian and cast another one as normal. Youll have to move for the second one but youll do 6d6+4d8s+3 in one turn and if they move add 4d8. Because of the enemy control it gives you booming blade is far better than extra attack. [/QUOTE]
