Coffeelock.
10 sorcerer, 2 warlock
Eldritch blast (3 blasts), doubled with metamagic + hex + agonizing blast
6d10 + 30 + 6d6 a turn
Save your spell slots for protection and mobility. You have all the damage you need in your cantrip.
I agree that this is the single strongest build by far in tabletop, but I don't think it will be all that great in BG3. The reasons for that being:
1) No hexblade
- gives hexblades curse (higher crit chance, better Hex without concentration, ...)
- gives medium armor and shields (MUCH better defenses)
- gives shield spell (most lv1 warlock spells are not really that useful for you)
2) Can now cast 2 spells in a round
- sure, EB is nice. But mainly because it is MUCH better than doing nothing with your bonus action. But is it better than casting a levelled spell? Usually not
3) Quicken Spell now costs 3 SP instead of 2 SP
- 50% higher cost for the metamagic
- 4 casts on lv 12, instead of 6, per LONG rest!
4) No Clockwork Soul
- doubles the amount of spells known, completely broken
- fantastic spells otherwise not accessible like wall of force
- bastion of law + armor of agathys for very good defense
- greater restoration, required for cocainlock
Sorlocks still get EB, and that is quite strong, obviously. But in general, I don't think Sorlocks will be good in this game. Not to the same degree they are in tabletop.
Coffeelock specifically refers to the idea of never long resting, and instead playing a race that does not have to sleep (elves/ half elves). Since Xanathars, not resting leaves you with exhaustion, but you can cast greater restoration on yourself to fix that. It is a bit costly, but ok, fine. In return, you spam short rests while the others sleep, and basically get infinite spell slots.
But that is ALSO not possible in BG3, because if one character takes a long rest, all of them do. And there is a limit on short rests per long rest. 2 normally, and 3 with a bard in the party. You can not spam short rests, and you can not spam short rests while the other characters long rest. So coffee/ cocainlock just is not in the game and can not be played at all.
Vanilla Sorlocks will be good, but not broken imo. I would be far more worried about other combinations
