Hey all,
So for the first time I tried playing a mixed caster and melee. I started off as fighter(Eldritch knight), then redid the character as a revised Ranger with the alternate class features. Then finally I tried adding a few levels of sorcerer... particularly you to level 3 to get meta magic quicken spell.
Is it me or is metamagic quicken by far the best way of casting and attacking? The Eldritch knight lets you attack once as well as casting a cantrip.
However metamagic lets you take your full attack (3 attacks potentially for a 6th level hunter), and then cast any spell for only 2 arcane points. It doesn’t matter that you’re quickening a spell as you’ll be attacking at the same time not casting anything else. The fact that you are primarily a fighter means you can afford to use up higher spell slots (that you don’t have spells for anyway) for arcane points and do this several times a day.
What am I missing, Paladin, Ranger, Eldritch Knight, Cleric, it seems that combining any of these with sorcerer makes them substantially better in combat?
