[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9865900, member: 7030563"] Since I last posed I have quite a bit of experience playing a similar style build right now. Mine is a multiclass Warlock/Fighter and she dual wields a pact Scimitar and a Shillelagh Club (Shillelagh through POT). She also uses Agonizing Green Flame Blade as her go to instead of Truestrike, getting +6 due to Charisma on both the Main target (currently 2d8+6) and the secondary target (currently 2d8+12) and rerolling 1s on the fire damage. She has a 22 Charisma (got last 2 points from a Tome). Her feats are: Flames Of Phelethegos (CH18) Warcaster (CH19) Shadow Touched (CH20) Putrify (S16 to work with Summon Undead) Here are some random observations from playing through level 16 (10 EK/6 Warlock): - Shillelagh really eats up bonus actions, and that will be an issue with Tactical Shift and Misty Step available. You want to get in melee and that will require you to use these things, add even more if you have Hex. I find a lot of times I am making an attack with my pact scimitar, then an attack with my Club (non-Shillelagh) and then nick with my scimitar. - I am not a huge fan of CME. It is a big damage number, but it is also a lost action and requires concentration and is not defensive at all. Even though you can cast it an action surge, at that level I would rather action surge first then use Fear+Eldritch Strike or Hold Person+Eldritc Strike or Tasha's + Eldritch Strike to give enemies disadvantage on the saves against the control. Incapacitating them reduces the load on you as far as being targeted. - I think you really want Wrathful Smite on this build due to how it plays with Eldritch Strike. You can get it through Shadow Touched. You use it when you can't quite get to someone in melee, so you truestrike a Javelin at them. I like this a lot better than Hex as an off-brand spell on this build. FWIW here she is: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/146175424[/URL] [/QUOTE]
