It's the weekend.Pushing/ Precise is better from a raw DPR perspective than Parry/ Riposte. Technicaly you have Precise, Pushing and Riposte on a GWF BM in any event.Seeing as the DMG is pretty explicit that the average party should only be running out of long rest resources after an 'adventuring day' of 6-8 medium-hard encounters, and are expected to have 2-3 Short rests in that time, 2-3 encounter adventuring days should be pretty rare.How many dungeons do you know that only have 2-3 encounters in them? You wouldnt even be 1/3 of the way through most dungeons at the 2-3 encounter mark.It's no where near as good as the GWM Fighters in round 1 (presuming both PCs come to the table full of juice). An action surging GWM Fighter at 5th level who lands just 2 of his 4-5 GWM attacks (and remember - he has precise strike up his sleeve) deals 54 or so points of damage on round 1.A better example would be a Sharpshooter BM Fighter with the Archery style (and Precise strike, and Menacing strike).From there he MC's into Ranger (Hunter) for 3 levels for Hunters Mark and +1d8 Damage 1/ turn to a creature with less than max HP.You get 1 Quicken per encounter at 5th level. 2 Quickens at levels 6-7 and 3 Quickens at levels 8-9 (and so forth) presuming you took 2 levels of Warlock in those first 5 levels.Most campaigns tend to end at that point, so in actual play, I dare say you'll have to convert a few spells on the fly to get more SP seeing as this is your main trick.At level 3 you can do this (presuming Divine soul sorcerer, and 2 adjacent targets in melee range to you).Not sure I would like to be in melee range with 2 adjacent targets as a Sorcerer 3.Mate, in the two rounds it took to lay on the Curse and Hex to a target, its probably dead from the other PC's (meaning you now need to move the Hex elsewhere, so no Quicken).You've white roomed it. I mean, you've done a lot of work on it and all, but in actual play it likely doesnt work the way you think it does.</blockquote>
