Multiclassing newb question (Warlock + Sorc)

[Mermidion]

so i barely Multiclass at all, cause i simply lack the knowledge and everytime i try to look up how to do a specific build i get a hundred different answers that sometimes even contradict each others. so i just often stick to Pure classes.

that being said. i would really like to have a Warlock + Sorcerer build with starting out as a warlock (for roleplaying purposes and make use of Eldricht blast ) but focusing later mostly on Sorcerer (for spell slot purposes). so how would i make that work the best and at what level should i change from warlock to Sorcerer?

Update: Thanks Guys. main question answered by many. Feel free to discuss builds or what you want.

Quick question: I've seen the common parlance for this hybrid be called "Sorlock" before.
But does anyone call it a "Warlorc?"
Because that name just seems funnier to me (and I do like a funny name).

in some rather specific D&D (and by now old/outdated )guides i came across the term coffelock build or Coffee-mage.
which is the most funny name for a build to me.

Coffee-lock never sleeps! Only short rests 4eva!

Only if you're willing to give up some raw spellcasting power for some extra utility.

According to the 5e D&D information, Sorcerers get another metamagic at level 10, as well as access to an extra level 5 spell slot.

So if you go 3 warlock and 9 sorcerer, you give up that extra metamagic and the ability to cast 2 level 5 spells in a row, for the ability to summon a familiar, use your spellcasting modifier with melee weapons, or gain additional cantrips from other classes.

i see. thanks . sounds not worth it to me. so 2 lvl in Warlock it probably is then.

Yeah seems like you figured it out, if your doing it for lore and use of eldritch then 2 lvls, the build very much depends on the person overall.
The reason it changes is because each person wants to utilize it differently. If you just want meta magic you take less levels in sorc and take the Meta magic adept for a smidge more versatility in that department. But if you just want the powerful cantrip it makes sense to go less warlock.

well sorcerer and warlock put together is Sorlock or Warcerer. If you wanted to put together just the beginnings or ends of their names they would be Sorwar, Warsorc, Lockerer or Cererlock.

Warlorc, while clearly related, doesn't seem to abide by any naming scheme.

If we create anagrams of "Sorcerer Warlock" using the combinations of words mentioned in my post we can get the following 7 anagrams:

Cererlock Arows
Rare Crew Sorlock
Sorwar or Recckler
Warsorc Clerk Ore
Lockerer Car Rows
Los Warcerer Rock
Warlorc's Creek

Personally I love Los Warcerer Rock, but the Rare Crew Sorlock ain't bad either. But don't be caught without a paddle up Warlorc's Creek

I don't wanna wait,
for this game to come out
I want to know right now
what weapon cantrips will there be?

Warloc's Creek

[Malterras]

If you just want:
Light armor, simple weapon proficiency, EB and agonizing/ repelling blast- 2 levels
pact of tome/ blade/ chain- 3 levels
extra attack (thirsting blade invocation)- 5 levels

Or, consider this as a possible alternative-
Oathbreaker Paladin- 2 levels. Get your weapon and armor proficiencies and divine smites.

Fiend Pact/ Pact of the Blade Warlock- 5 Levels. You'll get extra attack a bit late, but this shores up your ranged capabilities, 3 invocations of your choice, Temp HP on kill, weapons use charisma modifier for attacks, 1 ASI or feat, 2 lvl 3 pact spell slots.

Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer- 5 Levels. More cantrips, 3rd level spell slots and metamagic. ASI/ Feat.

Alternatively you could go Githyanki and skip the paladin levels and divine smites but still have better armor and weapon proficiencies for a 5/7 warlock/ sorcerer spread and access to 4th level sorc spells. Zariel Tieflings are an option as well with some racial smites. It really depends on if you want to dip into melee or if you just want to be more of a pure caster. 2-3/ 10-9 warlock/ sorc for pure caster or 5/7 warlock/ sorcerer or 2/5/5 paladin warlock sorcerer for more melee.

i would warlock to level 3 to get charasima dmg bonus added to eldritch blast personally. you will lose some high end spells but you get a huge ranged dmg dealer out of it.

[Vaein]

my first playthrough im doing straight up lock, but second will probably be wiz/lock for spell slot refresh and meta magic. oo or even fighter/lock/wiz

[seandeven]

2 lvls in Warlock would be the meta choice. As you see in the responses there are indeed multiple good choices.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

One of the things we don't know yet is whether Larian even allows Pact Slots to be converted into Sorc Points.

This makes a huge difference, because if it's allowed then going 5 levels in 'Lock is worth it for level 3 slots, which convert into even more Sorc Points, especially 8f your other three companions are Bards or Bard multiclasses.

[KingOfFriedChicken]

I will say thinking about it, there will be respec so you can really play with it anytime you want to trial and error so it's no loss to try different styles.

[WeenerTuck813]

OP,

Go 4 warlock first,

Then Sorc all the way after.

You want a 4/8 distribution for ASIs

You want to start warlock, you’ll get light armor proficiency.

i don't think coffeelock concept work in BG3 because you are only having 2 short rest per long rest. so you can't spam short rest
