[QUOTE="Momar, post: 6757407, member: 6804472"] If you're planning to use great weapon fighting I'm not sure how much greenflame blade is really getting you once you're getting your second attack. (EDIT: Is your DM being super lenient and letting you reroll the extra damage from greenflame?) The sorcerer route lets you quicken GFB so you can still use it along with the extra attacks feature (although it's worth noting that as a war domain favored soul you'll get access to spiritual weapon, which gives you a more efficient but less damaging way to use bonus actions). Combined with getting spirit guardians that means you're going to be doing a lot more damage in melee as the sorcerer, at least as long as the resources last. Warlock has the extra attack as an optional feature, so if you're set on using your main action to use GFB it might feel less wasteful. What role do you see your character playing in a party? The warlock is going to get access to some healing and damage mitigation later in their career, but as I said above the sorcerer is the better melee bruiser type damage output wise (depending on how willing you are to spend your resources on it). Are you rolling for stats or point buy? [/QUOTE]
