On a straight bladesinger this would be a no-brainer; blur is the call.
But I am playing level 3 bladesinger, level 2 Rogue. As far as concentration spells, the character also has Hex through a feat.
At 4th level wizard I am going to take mirror image (because it is not concentration) and either blur or shadowblade
When I look at shadowblade I am not sure it stacks up that great. My base is 1d8 Rapier+1d6SA+1d8Booming Blade. If I add Hex I can add a d6 to that (2d6+2d8). If I get shadow blade now it is 2d8+1d6SA+1d8BB or 3d8+1d6 only 1 DPR more than I could get running hex instead at the cost of a 2nd level slot. Hex also lasts an hour. I will also note that have a silver rapier but no magic weapons. Faced with a creature I need magic to hit I would lose my weapon and SA damage. Likely I would fall back on other cantrips if I needed magic to hit. Shadowblade would give me a better option for those creatures.
Blur would give me another good disadvantage spell to use against enemies PEG does not work for.
Thoughts?
