[QUOTE="Hathorym, post: 7032804, member: 60812"] I use neither Hex nor Eldritch Blast. When making Warlocks, I guess I just feel like EB/Hex is a crutch; that is the Warlock Class can be so much more than a one trick pony. That is, of course, only my opinion. I am privledged to have a group where this sort of "non-optimisation" is acceptable. I just feel as if it gIves me more options, more strategies, and honestly, more fun. YMMV Examples: I usually make Human Variant single class Warlocks. Nature's Voice: Archfey/Chainlock with Magic Initiate (Druidcraft, Shillelagh, Animal Friendship), Faerie Fire. Acolyte of Hells: Fiend/Tomelock with Firebolt, Hellish Rebuke, and Command, with Elemental Adept (Fire). Mad Enchanter: GOO/Tomelock using Dissonant Whispers, Charm Person, Vicious Mockery etc Thinking about an Undying (SCAG), I think I'd go Bladelock, with a longsword used only as versatile and reskinned as a scythe, Magic initiate with Greenflame Blade and Shield, False Life and Hex, because in this case I think it would be thematically appropriate. Let's call it Deathwhisperer or something equally cheesy. The new UA invocations should be perused, to add more flavor. [/QUOTE]
