[QUOTE="Taronkov, post: 7032694, member: 6781208"] So I just want to throw something out there... don't feel obligated to grab Eldritch Blast in any capacity. I'm on my third Warlock and I don't have it at all. I also don't feel like "I'm lagging behind" without it. Now currently I'm doing a bladelock and my range comes from darts. My cantrips are for utility as are most my spells. I'm having a blast not playing to most peoples expectations and honestly I feel most people lose out on the full potential of the class by deciding they are going to be Eldritch Spammers. Current is fiend bladelock with polearm master, thirsting blade, one with shadows and armor of shadows. Spells include command, armor of agythis(sp?), misty step, lightning bolt (houserule, I use lightning instead of fire spells as per my patron), counterspell and hex. Cantrips are prestidigitation, green flame (lightning) blade and minor illusion. I may not be the most damaging warlock but I'm far from ineffective and I get tons of utility from spells like command. Fundamentally have fun and don't feel pigeon holed into being an Eldritch Spammer. It's a great cantrip but don't feel like you can't play without it. Edit: Also with a bladelock I wouldn't take green flame blade again. I'd rather get the attacks from Thirsting Blade and polearm master. I hadn't planned that far ahead when I built my character. Also I'm grabbing Invisibility to swap out Armor of Agythis. It's a fun spell but the party could better benefit from invisibility. [/QUOTE]
