[QUOTE="Pickaxe, post: 6618990, member: 10812"] Thanks for all the replies so far. I know that Witch Bolt is considered by many to be underpowered, and in my own situation it's a question of whether I should swap it for something else. While I see the arguments for it being underpowered, my next level is 6th, which would be my first opportunity to apply Elemental Affinity to it.

I have Quicken Spell. Applying d12+3 on subsequent rounds is one of those things one can do with their action and still cast a quickened spell.
