This build is by Cephalopocalypse. He does really in depth videos but there is no repository for them anywhere. The video can be found here.
Level 7
You can swap out one of the concentration spells you’re not using for something like Fireball for large group clears.
Eldritch Invocations: Mire the Mind or Armour of Shadows. The former is good for crowded battlefields, the latter to help boost survivability.
Level 10
Fiendish Resilience: Piercing Damage if you want to set and forget, otherwise use what’s best for encounter.
Alternate Gear
Nyrulna synergizes with the Gloves of Belligerent Sky and that synergizes with Diadem of Arcane Synergy (you could also use Hex).
- Shar’s Spear of Evening (Darkness synergy, but requires story choices)
- Drakethroat Glaive (only to imbue whatever weapon you’ll use with Thunder damage)
- Helm of Arcane Acuity (if you want to focus more on spell casting)
- Sentinel Shield (initative)
- Potent Robe (better Eldritch Blast)
- Elegant Studded Armor (protection)
Cantrip Note
I believe this guide was made before Booming Blade was available as a Cantrip. I’m pretty sure this could be used in place of some of the gear selection to synergize.
Playstyle
Hex, go to town with melee. Leverage darkness and devil sight to abuse enemies. Make use of concentration spells like Hunger of Hadar or Wall of Fire in conjunction with allies.
