D&D (2024) Treantmonk's Warlock EB DPR video

That’s a debated point. I would argue no, agonizing blast doesn’t work on Shillelagh or True Strike because those aren’t “cantrips that deal damage,” they are cantrips that enhance the damage of a weapon attack. But others disagree, and we have no word on RAI at this point.

Regardless, the build kinda sucks anyway, so it’s a bit of a moot point.
yeah, build sucks completely.
waste of many resources to deal mediocre damage,

maybe if Thirsting blade gave option to replace one attack with a cantrip, this build would work somehow, extra shillelagh attack but without extra 2×cha bonus

I think we need to separate melee and ranged, because ranged damage tends to be quite a bit lower than the best melee damages in 2024.

In terms of ranged, 20ish damage at level 5 is solid. Warlocks can exceed this with summon fey, EB and AB. 22.3 DPR total.

Some of the better melee damages at this level are things like zealot Barbarian with GWM. 32.4 DPR (not counting the bonus action attack).

Depends on build and feats. Eg if ranger has great weapon master.

Hunter and Fae one should.

Level 5 Hunter using hunters mark and GWM does d8+3 (Dex) 3 (GWM) + 1d6 (HM)

On first hit will do +1d8

That’s 28* .65 + 4.5* .8775 = 22.1.

Maybe using the other slots we can raise the rangers dpr a little. Probably most likely by 2 or 3.

Summon beast could raise that a little but maybe only for 2 encounters.

The summon fey eb warlock comes in very near to the hunters mark hunter ranger dpr and overtakes it at level 7 due to the 2 attack summon fey.
