It's safe to assume that Hexblade will never become more than a mod. What if a ring just allowed you to channel your Eldritch Blast into your held weapon?

I am hoping they add a ton of subclasses, but even so, class-specific gear was featured in the other Baldurs Gate games.

I'd rather just implementing the classes, also Pact of the Blade is a thing in PHB where instead of a pet or book you get a free magic weapon, which would fit wyll quite a lot.
