[QUOTE="Zander, post: 6541667, member: 1364"] I apologise if this has already been addressed in this thread and I missed it, but True Strike should work with Witch Bolt. The concentration required for this combo is consecutive, not concurrent: you cast True Strike, concentrate on it and then cast Witch Bolt. You then need to concentrate on Witch Bolt but by that time the True Strike has done its job and wouldn't help anyway. The concentration required for Witch Bolt is only to do damage after round 1. If your DM rules otherwise, you probably want to find another game. I don't know if this has been mentioned in this thread, but I worked out a way of getting advantage every round. It has its drawbacks, but it does work. Cast Find Familiar and create an owl. Purposefully fail your initiative check as well as your familiar's. Most DMs will allow you and your familiar to go last. Place yourself immediately ahead of your owl familiar in the initiative order, so you're on zero and your owl on -1. On your go, ready an attack such as Fire Bolt on an opponent for when you have Help against it. Send in your owl to provide Help. That will trigger your attack with advantage.
