[QUOTE="Zene, post: 6986537, member: 6863496"] Hi optimizers, I'm trying to figure out the highest-dpr Level 1 build. AL legal, so PHB+1, no UA, no DMG. Assume it's running Tier 1 modules, so enemy abilities and ACs appropriate to levels 1-4. Also assume short rests every 1-2 fights, and long rests every 4-ish fights. Variant Human Fighter GWM is tempting, but I remember seeing an analysis that at L1, the -hit hurts more than you'd think, and so Vhuman Barbarian Polearm Master actually beats it. What are your thoughts? And are there any builds that would outperform those, like for example: [LIST] [*]Vhuman Rogue with GFB? [*]Polearm master warlock for hex and eb turn one, and two hex melee hits in subsequent turns? [*]Wizard with magic initiate (hex) using a familiar for advantage, then spamming magic missiles 'til they're gone, and firebolts after that? [*]Something else? [/LIST] Follow-up questions: What would be the highest-dpr build at level 2? And how about at level 3? I realize I can do the math on these myself. But I wanted to throw this out there in case anyone's already thought it through, or has thought of better options I've missed. [/QUOTE]
