[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9510258, member: 7030563"] It actually works great because of Armor of Agathys. AOA is a bonus action to cast now, so you don't lose your attack when you need to reup and AOA with your highest level slot is going to be more hps then a d10 class would get. You pretty much give up using other leveled spells in melee and at high level you need all your invocations to focus on bladewielding, but it is very effective in melee when played this way. I've seen it played with a GOO Warlock and that is really good, but I think a Fiend Bladelock would be even better and I think either of these are better in melee than most single class non-caster builds. It is better at even levels, but not at odd levels. Extra invocations and higher level slots are going to be better than medium armor proficiency at odd levels, and if you are going to go for heavy armor you really need to rob from either dexterity or constitution. If you are going the heavy armor route, I think Paladin is better than Fighter generally because of the 1st level spell slots. [/QUOTE]
