Does Wyll just suck, or is there a trick to playing a warlock?

[aramintai]

He's barely able to hit anything even with true strike, even with spells his chances to hit are abysmal. Also, he's supposed to be able to melee but both his str and dex are bad for it. Seems like a trashy party member, or is there something that can make him good?

[Shahadem]

It's because he is actually a weak dumb idiot braggart. The ONLY person who thinks Wyll is a hero is himself. He should have been dead from fall damage the moment he jumped off the edge of the wall. A true Darwin Award moment.

Wyll is arguably the most powerful companion, the only other companion that should be in that discussion is La Zel. You need to get agonizing blast and pushing blast for him as well as better spell selections. you also need to plan your short rests.

He got the feather fall spell activated on him somehow. Just kill him if he is not what you enjoy playing with. I dunno why people try to keep on to annoying companions.

I just edit his stats with cheat engine, to more closely resemble what I'd pick if I'd made this character. Even then he's a rough character to make work. A Hexblade is supposed to be able to use their charisma to attack instead of strength or dex for example, but hexblade is not implemented and he is obviously meant to be a hexblade/pact of the blade.

What stat editor did you use? On Nexus?

i think all the companions are poorly optimized for their classes, Shadowheart being the Queen of the bad designs for characters. She's supposed to be a Cleric of Shar, has several stealth based abilities, but is built like a front line fighter, despite being the only cleric you get so far... She should have been a dex based ranged attacker cleric who at least has stealth and perhaps a charisma based skill like deception, or intimidation.

i found the best way to fix will is at lvl 4 take the medium armor profiecency to fix his ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dex ac. Its a smaller investement then giving him +6 to dex. This boosts his ac up to 14+2dex+shield with a rapier making him more of a "pact of the blade" This will most likely be his meta build once pact of the blade is added to the game.

This also lets him just focus on Cha after lvl 4 and still have a great AC to be a melee caster.

He is made for the golbin village. put him high and he hits with a 90% accuracy. and his blast does good damage.
strange that he was made at my character avter we finished it and came back to camp saying that i should not have gone off and attacked goblins without him

[NixAhmose]

The thing about Wyll is that since none of the melee warlock build options are available currently and companion stats are set to their class's recommended stats, Wyll is a terrible melee fighter. He just does not have the stats or build options to make him into a good melee warlock.

That being said, if you play him as a regular eldritch blast spammer with agonizing and repelling blasts enabled, he's a really good range attacker.

In terms of him getting salty about you attacking the Goblins without him. It is probably due to he knows that you have killed both Fezzark (the lead goblin at the windmill) and Spike (the torturer).

As both have information that he wants. The most important being Spike. Although in Early Access it is a quest that cannot be completed due to the next step is in the Moonrise Towers.

[Neuromancer]

The Warlock class is only good at higher levels. I couldn't stand his voice so I killed him.

[Azkarna]

Yknow the funny thing actually is that Wyll himself comments on the fact he feels "weaker" than he used to thanks to the Illithid's experiments on him. Maybe this means his stats are supposed to get higher later on in the game? Like, without ASIs/Feats

Doesn't change the fact he kinda sucks though currently

His deal with a Fiend seems kind of off too, by lore standards. His Fiend is a Cambion, too low in the infernal pecking order to be offering Warlock pacts. Even if she was an Erinyes pretending to be a Cambion, I think that's too weak.

There is no real "rules" about the Importance/Rank of your PAtron.

a Cambion or Erynes is still a Fiend, there is no mecanical differences if you Patron is a Cambion or an Archdevil itself.

The Only requisite is that it is an otherworldly/Planar Being that has Powers enough to make a deal/Pact with you.

It might even be a driving force from a narrative point of view, a Devil that is Low-Mid Tier, making deals and having Servants *cough* Warlocks, in Hope to gain more power through them and gain a better Ranking in the Infernal Hieharcy (seeing how the Infernal Hierharcy works like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥/black Corporation, it is fitting)

Yeah, I'll call crap on Cambions being "too weak" as a rule. Just see Iuz from Greyhawk. https://greyhawk.fandom.com/wiki/Iuz

There is also the entire Brimestone Angels series where the Tiefling Warlock main character's patron for most of it is a Cambion.

Several reasons...

Bad Stats
Dex 13, means he can't get a starting AC higher than around 12. Even with a friendly wizard (or wasting an invocation) putting mage armor on him... that is still AC 14. He'll both be targeted a lot and hit repeatedly. It also means he'll be failing most of his concentration checks so hex, darkness, etc. will be dropping heavily. Con of 15 means you'll almost certainly need to increase it at 4 along with his dex, meaning no charisma increase. Intelligence is wasted. Seriously, you might have to pick up medium armor feat for him (increasing only dex) just to get a reasonable AC on him (and his strength isn't great for medium armor and shield).

Bad Skills
No stealth.

Bugs
BG3 has two big warlock bugs -- the dark one's blessing can just cease to work and the devil's sight just doesn't allow seeing in magical darkness. Thus, the trick of just entering darkness and blasting away with advantage while everyone else has disadvantage to hit you (in melee) and can't target you with ranged... doesn't work.

Area Effects/Grenades
Because of the overuse of these in the game, plus his low AC, it is highly likely he'll loose concentration to the point it isn't worth pulling up. Darkness, hold person, hex, etc. are all iffy casts. You are likely force to take non-concentration spells on him -- mirror image, armor of agathys, scorching ray, misty step, etc.

Rests
They limit you to one short rest per day. This means you can't just short rest and keep up your large spells. Combined with need to typically use hex... this means you have far less spells per day over a wizard or even light domain cleric. They can typically out blast you.

Theme
He is supposedly some sort of "blade of the west" or something. He has a 9 strength and 13 dexterity. He sounds like a buffoon rushing into combat with AC 12 and a rapier (+3 attack, +1 damage). Maybe if the added variant human (and started him with a 14 dex, medium armor + shield) and had the pact of the blade option, but even then... he's borderline for melee and eldritch blast + agonizing blast is still a better option.

Not sure if all my Wyll's are bugged but I find him, ask him to join me, send him to camp, talk to him in camp.....go and kill the druid priestess and BAMB he's dead, every fecking time, seems he just wants to die.
