I plan on coming up with a rhyme from my hexblade every time I get invocations. For example, when I get devil's sight *"In order to catch their prey, sleeping in the night. The predators were given the devil's sight."*

Just a note: If you get a skill proficiency in a skill you already have proficiency in, you can choose any other skill you want.

Personal advice, make the character a 3 Paladin, then 17 Hexblade. Start out as Paladin for the extra HP's, can wear any armors, Fighting style, Smite, get Divin sense(usefull in Fiend/Undead heavy areas) and Divin Health( immune to diseases), and a few Spell slots. Use your pact weapon as a logn sword, with versatile you can use both hands to strike and progit from the Heavy weapon Fighting style( reroll dmg rolls of 1 and 2's on weapon attacks) Then Straight Hexblade for the rest, that will give you 7 Spellslots, with the 3 from paladin that can be used for spells that doesn't scale or scale well, without sacrificing your precious 5th lvl slots. Buff the hell of your charisma( since pallies use charisma for their saves and castings anyways) Take the Oath of Conquest/vengeance or oathbreaker for flavor. Become a Dark Knight.

One thing you forgot to mention about Devil Sight that makes it so good is the fact that you can see NORMALLY, meaning you can see color and not just shades of grey (or red if you're a fire genasi).

Devil's sight + armour of Shadows are the best invocations, as you get them at 2nd level, and they are just really strong

I honestly think gift of the ever living one is stupid good because it’s any healing you get, heal spells (obvious), potions, and hit dice for short rest which makes it even better to short rest regularly. Like you suddenly become the best front line fighter with Hexblade because you can just, keep going

Devil's Sight plus casting a Darkness Spell centered on yourself. You get advantage on literally everything.

I love the strategic possibility of "Grasp of Hadar" and "Repelling Blast"...being able to reposition an enemy can help stage-up some dastardly combination kills...or knock people off of environmental hazards. An interesting note...with multiple beams of Eldritch Blast, you can apply these effects to multiple targets. And unlike "Grasp of Hadar" which can only be used once..."Repelling Blast" has no limitation on its effect. If you hit with both beams...you push that enemy back 20ft. At higher levels...three beams knocks them back 30ft. Four beams...well, you get the idea. ...and there's no save. If you hit them, you affect them. ...even Gargantuan enemies. Which is absurd.

Eldritch smite with something like a level 5 spell slot (expecially on something like fey or fiend patron's) sounds so much like a Bleach style anime final attack

Reasoning to take Repelling Blast: If you have Warcaster, you can use Spells whenever you get an Attack of Opportunity. If you have Polearm Master, you get an Attack of opportunity when someone enters your reach (when using a certain type of weapon). If your Arcane Focus is a Staff (which counts as Quarterstaff), you can cast Eldritch Blast on them to push them back where they came from.

One of my favorite combos with Hexblade (works with any Warlock really) is taking Devil's Sight (see through magical darkness) and casting Darkness on myself mid-fight. The enemies can't see shit and become sitting ducks.

So, I think you said it a few times, but it jumped out at me when you were discussing Dreadful Word at 3:10. The one use spell invocations do not help you conserve spell slots. Almost all of them say right in the description "... using a warlock spell slot." So using Dreadful Word as an example, if you use it when you can first pick it up at level 7, you are using *half* of your available spell slots to cast Confusion. It really limits the viability of these Invocations in my eyes

Yup, this certainty helped as I’m making a tiefling rouge who’s actually a warlock

This reminded me why I love warlock so much

beast speech + Aspect of the moon = Lord Varys

If I'm correct Agonizing blast apply to every beams not just one, because each beams of the eldritch blast are independent (I mean you make an attack roll for every beams not just one attack and you can hit differents targets with the beams during the same eldritch blast cast). So Agonizing blast is like putting your mod attack in the damages for fighter, you do it at every attack not just once par turn. At high level it means that you can easily deal 4d10+20 more damages (+5 mod max for each 4 beams) And for bestow curse casting with a level 5 spell slot doesn't require concentration anymore. So you cast it last 8 hours (something like that) without concentration. So after level 10 for the warlock it's a good thing because you can use this spell for a lot of situation, and not only fight, very rp. Depending of the style of your adventure

Devils Sight as a Tiefling hexblade warlock is just amazing. you can pop darkness once a day in an enclosed space and see your opponent while he is most likely blind and you have always advantage or even straight rolls if your foe has invisibility and you know approximately where they are.

There's something I want to contribute. Book of Ancient Secrets allows you to gain a familiar if you don't mind not having access to the upgraded version. It just adds to the versatility of an already versatile ability.

One thing to keep in mind with Repelling Blast: unlike Lance of Lethargy or Grasp of Hadar, there is nothing that says "once on each of your turns". If a level 11 Warlock hits a target with all three beams from their Eldritch Blast, that creature can be pushed up to 30 feet away. I only know this because my friend's favorite class is Warlock, and he does this all the time. Fun stuff.

@@BK-ku1zt Yep. Luckily my DM has maps of his towns and cities.

I'd get both movement invocations then get the invocation that makes your Eldritch blast 300 ft get some points in rouge then just pull your targets off balconys.

Davvy, where is the beast races video?

I want to make a warlock with cloak of flies, name him Spiders-man, and recreate the "The spiders. I'm summoning the spiders." scene.

One possibly relevant difference between the Repelling Blast invocation and the other EB/movement invocations is that every other invocation that affects movement specifies once per turn. Repelling blast has no such limitations. This means that EACH of the EB bolts can do the 10ft push (no save), achieving 40ft of movement if all applied to a single target. Also, in cases where more than one casting of EB per turn arise (Sorc MC or Illusionist's Bracers), Repelling Blast will yield its full affect on the second casting of EB as well, while the other invocations are once per turn and so already spent. Especially if combined with the extreme range of Eldritch Spear, and the foresight to maneuver yourself to get the push direction that best suits you, this is an amazing tool to move enemies around the battlefield.

Grasp of Hadar is for when you want to pull someone into a hazardous spot. I pulled a giant off a cliff with it and when I was flying I pulled someone into the air 20ft (hit them twice) and then they fell prone next to our melee fighters.

Relentless hex is an 8 or 24 hours consentration "at will"-bonus-action-teleport at the cost of 1 of your 2-4 spell slots if you have a familiar and know Hex. I love it.

Not 100% as simple as that, but it has it's uses.

Scared the heck out of me when I heard the "you'll float too" cause I'm reading " It " right now. Thought pennywise was invading my youtubes

I'd just like to point out that unlike Grasp of Hadar, Repeling Blast can stack so at higher levels, when hitting a creature with several eldritch blast, you can actually push the target up to 40 feet away. That's kind of amazing.

6:50 One with the Shadows Just to be clear. The visibility effect breaks once you start moving.

Idea Beguiling Influence: You either gain proficiency in two Charisma skills of your choice or gain expertise in one or two you're already proficient in

Best use for the Invocation Repelling Blast. If you're fighting on a cliff or anywhere that there is a ledge. Just start lining them up and yeet the badies off the edge. It's not only hilarious, but it's a great way to make an otherwise long combat very short.

I'd just add that any invocation that uses your pact magic slot is either effectively worse than the at-will/1 per rest invocations. But that's just me.

no they totally suck to me. if thats how they want to do it just put the spell on the warlock spell list dont make it take 1 of the only 8 invocations a warlock gets I dont care how good the spell is I want something more reliable.

i was forced to multi class as a warlock once on my eldritch knight fighter and holy crap, having all those pact of blade invocations and eldritch blast invocations made my fighter literally an unstoppable force

One With the Shadows has very little advantage over Minor Illusion cast overlapping yourself. All you do is have to cast something like a boulder, a bush, pillar, a box or anything that would enclose you and you're effectively invisible while that invocation needs low light. You can still take actions while hidden in the Minor Illusion without ending the effect.

Old one pact, eyes of the rune keeper, devils sight, and agonizing blast

I've been theory crafting a warlock/barbarian multiclass based on casting spells that don't require concentration like aoa and fire shield and going into a rage to end the things, up to this point I wasn't wholly aware of what lifedrinker does, but with 5 in str and Cha, which isn't abnormal at a full build (if you roll your stats) and with gwm feat you can be hitting for like +23damage a hit before dice are rolled (+3 is from the invocations that make your pact weapon better if you don't manage to find a +3 magical item by endgame)
