User:Chutiste/Offhand Blaster

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.

Build Concept

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

Semi-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
