I'd be very tempted for Warlock 5 for Agonizing and Repelling blast, then pivot to Paladin. Grab Polearm Master with the best medium armor you can find and blast from close to medium range. Let them run to you and eat the attack of opportunity then go melee from there. The playstyle of avoiding melee and blasting from range can be fun while the melee keeps the enemy front line tied up, then you'll basically be bait daring them to close the gap on you when your level hits 5. This is probably what I'll do with Wyll on my next playthrough.
Ah one of the classic builds. imo you dont even need pact of the blade if you take devotion pal. sacred weapon covers that for you. though you can combine it with pact of the blade for a very high atk bonus. i wouldnt say ancients has the clear cut level 1 ability. if you have high cha, inquisitor's might from vengeance is pretty solid dmg with daze (an excellent condition here). i'll share my own pally in a separate comment. not a pallock though but a Bardadin.
In my latest playthrough, I've turned Wil into a Bardlock, and I've been quite happy with the results. I'd love to hear about the Bardadin though, and see how that's going.
@@thedungeon1578 haha. well it's not going anymore. i'm done with that run. about to embark on my 5th run on solo tactician. lol. it did great, especially mid-late game. GOWs is awesome here compared to 5E. especially when combined with elven sleep immunity. i've had 2 builds based around that combo so far. the bardadin is one. the build is in a separate comment here.
