[QUOTE="Kinematics, post: 9138832, member: 6932123"] Been refining my spreadsheet, fixing some calculations and such. Here's some update on the warlock's results. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ME1Cd9k.png[/img] I switched from Hex to Spirit Shroud only at level 9. Other builds use Hex. Eldritch Smite is not included in any build. Eldritch Blast gains a huge amount at level 17 because of the combination of a 4th attack and advantage from Foresight. The rapier with Vex is right on par with the greatsword with Graze, up until level 17. That remains the case even if base accuracy is raised to 80%. Obviously Foresight gives very little extra to a weapon that's already getting steady advantage, so the rapier doesn't gain much, while the greatsword gets a good bump. Compared with the barbarian and fighter: [img]https://i.imgur.com/O0oN8kh.png[/img] The Champion is decently ahead of the non-Shroud builds up til level 17. At 17, they catch up, or close enough, until level 20 when fighter gets its 4th attack. On the other hand, the Shroud build matches or exceeds the Champion from level 9 onward. The top barbarian line is the Berserker, with tons of damage boosts. The red barbarian line is the Wild Heart, with basically no damage boosts from the subclass. If the bladelock is limited to 2 attacks, rather than 3, this is where they line up: [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZIAtRXZ.png[/img] The Shroud build is basically on par with the Wild Heart barbarian. The Hex greatsword build is basically on par with Eldritch Blast from 11 to 16, before EB spikes way up at 17. [/QUOTE]
