Maybe off topic a bit, but I still so no reason whatsoever for Larian to have omitted melee cantrips like Booming Blade and Green-Flame Blade from BG3. It doesn't fall under the umbrella of their laughably weak excuse concerning difficulty balancing high level spells and it certainly isn't an oversight or afterthought. Like wtf
Eldritch Knight may suffer mechanically, but it reigns supreme thematically, right up there with Paladin.
But also, yeah, Bladelock is the superior gish and actually fulfills the role with respect towards its intentions, just to add my hat in that ring as well.
Also, just to mention, if you kill the ogres in Blighted Village you can get a circlet that'll set your INT to 17 which generally takes care of EK's spell casting modifier. You can still dump INT and build like a normal Fighter
