[QUOTE="NaturalZero, post: 7557251, member: 55705"] Hexblade is pretty much the closest thing, right out of the box. It does damage and has access to utility, but doesn't really fully fill the swordmage's "I have 15 magical weapon powers that all do different things while teleporting every round" role as much as simply dealing some decent damage with eldritch smite while replicating some of the utility of wizard spells. I miss the swordmage and, more so, the battlemind. There were some pretty fun tactical builds and tricks that don't really exist in 5e, per se. I like how you can get easy access to more utility stuff now, but I miss playing a super hardy badass that can create a telekinetic vortex or toss anything I hit 20' on every single melee attack with a right build.
