Agonizing blast

[Devil Djinn]

Doesn't seem to add any damage in combat, won't do anymore than 10 damage
Outside combat it will consistently do over 10 damage.
Is it bugged?

Check the combat log and see if the additional damage is rolled.

I mean usually outside of combat you catch the enemies by surprise with the first attack. Which I believe results in a higher chance for crits. Which I am guessing is probably what's happening. I've got a lv5(maybe 6 iirc) party atm and wyll has agonizing bolt that only does 10 damage but he can hit 2 targets or a target 2 times with one use.

[Devil Djinn]

How are you hitting 2 targets? Is it a perk that comes later?

On higher levels Warlocks gets more Blasts instead of Multi Melee Attacks.

It's like lv5 or 6 wyll (or any other warlock I suppose) seems to get a second charge of agonizing blast to use. Kinda like fighters get their action surge or barbs get to do multiple attacks (karlach goated for that alone lol)

Do you have to check the log for rolls to show up?

at lvl 5 spellcasters cantrips get additional dice for dmg roll. But Eldritch Blast instead of dmg dice gets additional ray to shoot.

Gotcha thank you for clarifying that for me I kinda figured that was what was happening but wasn't 100% so I didn't want to state it as a fact lol

If you pick pact weapon, you will get an extra attack when you use a pact weapon(with higher lvl). In melee, im stronger now than with blasts. I took the 2 weapon feat to buff it. You should use 2 weapons anyway, because after you use your blast, you can use the bonus action to attack with the offhand in the same round.

Wyll does not have higher Dex than Charisma, so how are you doing more damage in melee? Did you not pick the Invocation that adds damage to Agonizing Blast?

Pact weapons get +1 in attack and all attack rolls are done with charisma(no need for str or dex). And they are trained with any pact weapon. You can use any weapon you want and switch without rest.

Edit. I do have dmg boost and knockback with the Blasts. At lvl 12, i hit for 40-50 dmg per attack in melee.

better multiclass with Sorc and cast Blast second time with bonus action with your metamagic. And if you want you can dip 2 lvls in Fighter to get Action Surge, so now you can cast 3 Blasts and each is 2 rays, so it is 6 rays of Blast.
or if you want to be melee multiclass with paladin and Smite all day long after each hit.

But you miss the Lifedrinker invocation. You get it with lvl 12.

You should also be able to that with a hand crossbow if you want to stick to range, still haven't found one though so It remain untested
