[QUOTE="Kinematics, post: 9431639, member: 6932123"] Little bit of craziness... Sorcerer 10 + Wizard 9 + Warlock 1 9th level Conjure Minor Elementals lasting 20 minutes (Extended) 258 casual damage if you only need cantrip-level attacks. 300-550 damage using upcast Scorching Ray (between 4th and 8th level slot) if you need dragon-killing damage. Quicken that cast and you can cap it off with another Eldritch Blast, for between 550 and 800 total damage on a single turn. Or just single-class an Evoker Wizard. Casual cantrip damage from Fire Bolt is 81, and 40 damage even if you miss. And Scorching Ray still gives you 300-550 damage when upcast to a 4th-8th level slot (though not as reliably without advantage on the attacks from Innate Sorcery). Or if you Overchannel a 5th level slot, 618 damage. You can do more total damage with Meteor Swarm, given enough targets, but Meteor Swarm is only 140 damage on a single target. You can almost double that with Eldritch Blast, or do four to five times that on a single target in one turn using one of the above setups. Is there anything I'm missing that prevents this? [/QUOTE]
