What weapons are best for a warlock

how do i get proficency with another wapon besides dagger

Eldritch blast is the best weapon for a Warlock. Unless you want to go with Pact of the Blade.

Warlocks start with simple weapon proficiency (dagger, clubs, quarterstaves for example). Some races give you more, Elves give longswords and bows, Dwarves axes and hammers and Gith big swords.

Charisma is the best weapon.

It will depend on what path you choose at lvl 3. If you choose "Pact of the Blade" you basically gain proficiency in any weapon you use. Just equip it, and cast the ability to bond to that weapon, and you are proficient and will use your charisma bonus for your attacks and damage with it.

If you choose one of the other 2 paths, you'll want to look out for a few staves in the game that increase your attack with spells, because you'll pretty much just be using Eldritch Blast.

Edit: Oh, or if you really want to, at lvl 4 you will get your first feat and you can use it to get "Martial Weapon Proficiency." I wouldn't really recommend it, since it won't be that useful. If you go Pact of the Blade, you already can be proficient in any weapon, and you get an extra attack with it at lvl 5. If you don't go Blade, you won't really be attacking with your weapon anyway.

At level 3 a Warlock gets to choose one Pact. If you choose Pact of the Blade you can make the weapon you have equipped into your Pact Weapon, which, among other things, means you gain Proficiency with it.
Doesn't matter which weapon. Could be a dagger. Could be a greatsword.

[Dragon Master]

If you want more weapons than a dagger, go Pact of the Blade at level 3. You'll be able to make any weapon something you are proficient in, using your charisma as your attack and damage modifier instead of strength or dexterity.

You'll be lethal at close range and long range with Eldritch Blast.

staffs aka polearms will give you the best bonuses for the most part later on through special item abilities and stuff like +attack rolls and +spell save dc

Multi-Class into 2 levels of Fighter and the rest Warlock. If you want real oomph? Then 2 levels of Fighter, 2 levels of Warlock, and 8 levels of Sorcerer.

The Fighter levels need to be first. Here is a link to a powerful and fun SorLockFtr build:

This is an Eldritch Blast build, not a Melee Pact build.

Good Luck

Well...
- pact of the tome is a mess, granting not much good. The cantrips aren't so hot (you have the best one in the game as EB) and the rest ... only haste is really slick.
- pack of the chain is derpy, the pets don't level up so they die in 1 hit after a few levels. Worse, you can get 1 of the 2 pets without the pact.
- that leaves blade pact as the #1 go to choice.

and pact of the blade lets you use any weapon you find with cha stat. ANY, whether its that 2h firey thing off the first demon or the heal on hit flail or the sparkly staff from waukeen's rest or ... on and on. You find dozens of amazing weapons as you play, and about 3/4 of them, your other team mates will not have the proficiency to use them or will have one better or whatever. But the warlock can stash the best of the ones no one else can use in his backpack and swap (out of combat) based off the fight ahead ... got a pack of undead, maybe he should be using lathlander's ... got a tough fight, maybe he should heal 2d6 per round with that flail, ... etc. The best weapon is the best one you have that no one else is using right now, with any special stuff for specific fights considered as well. For example he is a great pick to use the spear of spider skewering (my name for it) in act 1.

Can you also switch patrons or is it permanent

I'd say blades, and a high ability score in CHR

That is permanent. If you do not want to multiclass you can also use a Feat. But in general multiclassing is more beneficial as in more cost effective.

Your patron is effectively the Warlock's subclass. The only way to change that is to go to Withers and change your class, pick warlock again and pick a different patron.
