[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 9253592, member: 27957"] I think your math is off. I have no idea where you're getting that Light Crossbow damage, for example. Let's take 8th level, where Radiant Soul has kicked in, we can have a Cha 20, and no Lifedrinker yet. Eldritch Blast is two attacks for a combined 2d10+10. Fire Bolt is one attack for 2d10+10. True Strike and Agonizing Blast with a Light Crossbow and no Blade Pact is one attack for 1d8+1d6+15 with no Mastery trait. Blade Pact, Green-Flame Blade, and Agonizing Blast with a Greataxe is one attack for 1d12+1d8+15, with an automatic cleave for 1d8+10 and potentially another 1d12. Blade Pact and Thirsting Blade with a Greatsword is two attacks for a combined 4d6+10, and a Mastery trait that deals 5 damage on a miss. So the attack cantrips are dealing 21 damage on two hits, True Strike Crossbow is dealing an average of 24 damage on a hit, Green-Flame Blade is dealing an average of 26 on a single target hit and as much as another 21 if it can Cleave, and Thirsting Blade is dealing 24 damage on two hits and 17 on one hit. That's why I'm saying Green-Flame Blade is the stand out build for Celestial Warlocks until 11th level. True Strike Crossbow does match up better against the cantrips than I expected, but that's only if they don't restrict True Strike to melee weapons like a lot of people are predicting. [/QUOTE]
