If you'd put the spells on a Polearm using GWF he'd be the strongest (because in melee the Crossbow Expert rolls 1d4 whereas the Polearm guy rolls 1d10) at melee ranges. And your EK certainly didn't have the AC that a shield user would have had (though I have no doubt that with the buffs it was more than sufficient). I believe that ranged totally dominated your game. But what other factors were there? Was the DM offering plenty of opportunities for total cover or were you playing with relatively featureless terrain. These things matter and affect the efficacy of ranged PCs.</blockquote>
