I am playing a multiplayer game where we each get one companion and mine is Shadowheart. I made her a Paladin with high Charisma (and lower Wisdom). When unlocking the secrets of the Necromancy of Thay book at Paladin level 5, I decided to add Warlock (The Great Old One) as a second class which seems to fit from a role-playing point of view. This is a really nice combo since Pact of the Blade bonus attack stacks with the Paladin extra attack and any weapon I bind will use Charisma as the stat for attack / damage. The only sacrifice is the third feat.
I think the final build will be lv 5 Paladin and lv 7 Warlock to get the level 4 spells in Act 3.
