[QUOTE="Renduaz, post: 7219462, member: 6885042"] That's true I suppose, guess we'll drop Booming Blade in favor of the Extra Attack. We won't be using Booming Blade at the highest level anyway. And we can't use shortswords, because without "Dual Wielder", you can only make an attack as a bonus action with Two-Weapon Fighting if you're using Light weapons. And a single Shortsword attack is significantly less than our Rapier Dual Wielding. You don't need a hand for somatic components with War Caster... "You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands.", although War Caster in my build is really only here if you want to Counterspell and the like as a Marilith. Actually come to think of it, it's not needed at all, since I forgot stowing your weapons ( And you can even stow 2 with Dual Wielder, for Somatic and Arcane Focus ) is a free interaction. I'll have to pick Sentinel instead or something else. Or in act none for dexterity maximum. With Dueling instead of TWF and Dual Wielder, we actually get the same average judging by Anydice ( 26 and 26 ), but you are right that it does the same damage with the DEX and fighting style bonus, however sadly won't work with Marilith, albeit more gain than loss, so thanks for the advice. Although at highest level, even without Extra Attack, the 3d8+8 of dual Wielder and 3d8 Booming Blade does slightly more damage than 2d8+12 ( Attack, Hasted Attack ) with 3d8 Booming Blade, or 3d8+12 without Booming Blade. Although it's a small reduction, so I'll take it. [/QUOTE]
