Part if this is Eldritch Strike  works on a hit and more attacks mean more hits or chances to hit and does not require a feat.You can wear  Plate with proficiency as long as you take your 1st level in Fighter.  You just have a movement penalty, but in her case she started with a 15 Strength/.The Strength route is not better for damage when you consider Agonizing Blast as that always adds your Charisma bonus to the Cantrip damage.Yeah but you are losing a ton of damage from Agonizing Green Flame Blade and a hit, which causes disadvantage, is both easier to land and is a better debuff.It doesn't make much of a difference, especially when you are giving up an attack to do it. I have Shillelagh on my Warlock/Eldritch KnightI went round and round on this one,  I  ended up starting Fighter for Heavy armor, but generally I would agree.No we take it at 3 now, so  whichever your table doesThere is no contest IMO.  Hyp;notic Gaze is a 3rd level (or 2nd level) at will ability that is the rough equivalent of a 6th level spell in terms of power in play.  It  causes indefinite incapacitation on a single failed save, with no more saves and no concentration for the Wizard to keep up. It doesn't work against creatures immune to charmed, but you are still a full wizard with a full list of spells for virtually any circumstance against those creatures.Fail one save and I can keep you incapacitated for 5 days until you die of exhaustion (longer if someone is willing to cast Greater restoration and keep you and me alive).   The only downside is you need to get in melee range, and that is why Goblin is the race you want for it.The 10th level ability is pretty powerful too.I've seen the other wizards you mention in play, and they have not been as powerful in the</blockquote>
