[QUOTE="zaratan, post: 6848496, member: 6810501"] Great Weapon Master feat. Booming Blade + attack. Your options are go straight as EK until lvl 7 (or 8 if you need one more ASI) and than 3 lvl of sorcerer to get metamagic and lvl 2 spells, now you can twin booming blade and attack one more time, or go up to lvl 11 for 3 attacks and than the rest is sorc. Is, you only need Str/Cha/Con, with shield and blur, doesn't even need to max con (or even cha with even). Heavy armor for sure and or greatsword or polearm (if you plan to get polearm master). You can't booming blade or GFB at 10ft unless you get spell sniper too. Probably to much investment. Again, you don't want scorching ray, this is good for warlock with hex that can cast at higher lvls, you have booming blade + attack and GWM. Choose area evocations, that you'll use to damage high number of minios. When you go sorcerer, you keep your 1st lvls spells from EK, your spells from sorc will be 2nd lvl and above (retraining), here you get hold person, fantasmal force, suggestion, crown of madness... The really usefull evocation spells are 3rd lvl above, like fireball or lighting bolt, but there are great options of other schools at this lvl too. Remember that the damage you can cause as EK in a single target is way bigger than any spell in your current lvl, evocations aren't your priority, you'll only use to burn minions. If you don't play AL legal, you can look in EE spells, like absorb elements. [/QUOTE]
