Best Sorlock build?

[DaniTheHero]

There seems varied opinions on this in BG3, everyone running this slightly differently (Which proves how fun build crafting can be!).
I'm curious on what you think would be the most broken/strongest version of this build from start to finish (Not a reroll at level 12, but a proper level 1 start).

level 1 sorcerer, 2 levels in warlock, rest in sorcerer

What Subclass of Sorc? Storm or Draconic?
What a but a mix in with Fighter?

Wouldn't start as Sorc be better for the Cons saving throw?

Didn't think you meant in that order.
That's a no on the fighter then.

For ultimate minmaxing, what race is the most optimal for this?

Ok here you go OP.
Play straight Sorc to level 4. At level 5 respec as this:

1 lvl Sorc. Draconic, PICK THE LIGHTNING ONE

4 levels Warlock. Agonizing blast and Whatever (Dark vision, repelling blast, etc). Any pact you want.

All levels Sorc from here.

Max Charisma. Get the 22 Cha helmet and +2 Cha from Mirror of loss for 24 total (+7)

Use Potent Robe. Use the necklace that adds casting stat to cantrip damage if you do element damage.

Use lightning staff AND markoheshkir.

Ok, bear with me.

5th level ASI Charisma to 19. (Hag hair to 20)

9th level DUAL WEILD feat (for 2 staffs)

12th level Lucky.


Ok, so now you cast the spell from markoheshkir to give you LIGHTNING dmg + Lightning staff Lightning damage.

Every beam of Eldritch blast gets +7 (Agonizing blast) +7 (Potent robe) +7 (Necklace - Lightning Damage) +7 (Draconic blood line - Lightning damage) because your EB does lightning damage from both staffs (some times it doubles the +7 because 2 sources of lightning damage)

For a total of +28 to +42 PER BEAM
x3 beams (+84 to +126 depending on how lightning damage pans out)

Use Sorc points to cast twice as Bonus actions.

So 6d10 + (168 to 252) each round.

You also get a little additional lightning damage from the staffs but it’s not a ton.

You also can, if you like, ditch Potent Robe since your damage is SO high and wear Helldusk armor for 21+ AC, Fire resists, burning immunity, etc
