[QUOTE="Humam Al-Fdeilat, post: 7606154, member: 6996306"] A bladesinger wizard can also make fantastic use of this spell for a couple reasons. I feel a lot of people overlook the fact that you must have a hand free to cast spells that have somatic or material components, therefore making dual wielding not viable. And as advantage is very easy to get through find familiar or flanking bonuses (which you can manipulate with lightning lure or similar) the damage of green flame blade will exceed the extra attack of other classes. This is because at level five you get an extra d8 of damage to both the target of the melee and the spell. This causes your damage on the melee target to be slightly below extra attack as you only get one use of the damage mod, but you're also essentially hitting an entire extra enemy. The only time it isn't good for bladesinger s that I can think of is if you get to wizard 6/ fighter 2 and use action surge to attack 4 times in a single round, but that can only happen once per rest. P.s. forgot to mention this but green flame blade has a required material component so (despite the fact that the material is your weapon) you technically can not use it while dual wielding [/QUOTE]
