User:Chutiste/Offhand Blaster

Build Concept

Playstyle: Eldritch Blast with the action and attack multiple times with an offhand weapon.

This was a fun playstyle that I used for my first Tav in April 2024, Tav Starbright, and it occurred to me that there's an underlying archetype that can be used for several builds.

Classically, it's 4/4/4 Champion, Thief, and Warlock for three Feats, or 5 Warlock for level 3 spells.

Although both Fighter and Pact of the Blade offer Extra Attack, we don't need it for this playstyle.

Core Build Components

• Eldritch Blast, naturally, which can come from Warlock or Spell Sniper
• Fast Hands, for extra offhand attack. These 3 levels of Rogue are the only mandatory levels in the build.
• Two-Weapon Fighting, most easily from Fighter or Gloves of the Balanced Hands

Optional components:

• Ring of Arcane Synergy is perfect for this playstyle, adding to mêlée damage after a cantrip.
• Dual Wielder feat if you've got non-light non-heavy weaponry in mind
