2024 has done a lot to boost Martial skills fighter2 is more than just action surge, so what build is the best? Still needs to function in combat (Eldritch Blast + Agonizing blast+Hex at minimum)

Hmm... Beserker 9 / Soul Knife 3? 3 attacks (2 on round 1) 1d6+5+3d6+3 on a hit = 22 (20 for the 3rd attack) = 64 Advantage *.84 = 53.76 2d6 sneak attack (near certain to land one) = 60.76

True, that's +4 damage, though you will be down 1d6 sneak attack half the time. Issue is that it doesn't scale without multi attack, where +2 to hit will scale with sneak attack (and/or multi-attack)

Don't know where your getting advantage from. You can't use both Steady Aim and the bonus attack. Are you just assuming an ally gives it to you? 7.5 - 3.5 = 4 10/4 = 2.5 rounds to catch up. Then you wouldn't get your bonus attack the first round. So really, 3.5 rounds to catch up to the +10...

Soul Knife can't use GWM, so kind of moot. Longbow is 150", Heavy Crossbow is 100' doesn't really need Sharpshooter as much as the 60' Soul Knife. And you get Slow/Push And xd6 is more than GWM (or stacks with it). And medium armor from Fighter covers the AC, and Assassin gets a bigger...

but that's not till level 11 To compare. 70% (91% with advantage) +1d6 damage (2d6 from Truestrike- 1d6 being a level behind) +10 damage the first round of combats Seems pretty close either way. I do like soul knife 17 better than Assassin 17 though, so maybe it is a little better. Also I...

Well I haven't done the math... But what about Truestrike? Soul Knife can't use it, but Assassin can pick it up as a background.

Dip fighter 1 for archery style.

Lacks Push and your stuck with Vex, which won't stack with many other things. Bonus action attack is a little better than Steady Aim, but not significant. But at least you can add Trip at level 5. Seems ok. Not bad, not great. Not really better than an Assasin with a longbow.

Anything? Why does magnetic flux form lines?

This would also be be the math for Darkness + Devils Sight / Shadow sorcerer.

That's what quicken is for. But it really depends on the party. If you web creature and your Beserker run in to attack, that doesn't help. If you have a heavy crossbow battlemaster, then web is an lot more appealing.

Hmmm... Web uses Athletics to escape. So Hex could give disadvantage to escape. Not that you can concentrate on both, but worth noting.

Adv +Quicken vs Haste + Quicken 6d10+30 * .84 = 52.92 Vs 9d10+45 * .6 = 56.7 So Haste is a few more points of damage for you, but I expect Web will be far better for most teams.

What feat or feature? Crossbow Expert gets you from 1d8 to 1d10 Great Weapon master gets you +3 damage. Eldritch Blast is 1d10 with 1d6 extra damage. No different. 1d10+3+1d6 Vs 1d10+3+1d8 a few times. Battlemaster is better, but the difference is small. I'm waiting 2 levels. Right, but...

Yes. It's EB spam. Not sure why that's different from heavy crossbow spam. If you want more control, you can use Web instead of Hex. I do agree Battlemaster is better at lower levels

It's decent at 1 It's good at 7 Top tier at 13. Maybe a bit broken at 17. It is a sorlock. But you need Valor bard 6 to make use of Haste -> EB. Otherwise hex and Quicken compete too much for your bonus action. You can skip Bard and do more Warlock if your not going to higher levels.

Fair. Hex + Quicken do compete for bonus actions a bit. But then if you have a lot of little targets, Fireball. Swapping to Haste at 13 is a boost, and keeps the bonus action available for Quicken. You can also add a few Seeking metamagic, but that's not scaling very well. Yea, it doesn't...

I think it's fine if the Ice Devil or casting certain spwlls prevents you from changing. Monsters are allowed to have unique features. But it's hardly going to break anything.

Disagree in this case. The core is Warlock 2 for Hex + Eldritch Blast; makes you a decent ranged attacker no matter what other classes you take. Sorcerer 2 for quicken doubles your damage for a turn, scaling to multiple turns. Though I do realize I made an error. "You can’t have more Sorcery...
