Favorite class combo/single class? :)

looking for some ideas to try for a new playthrough, recently got to act 3 on my warlock/paladin and wanted to start over :D

If talking pure class, I think Pally is underrated. I found it very versatile, great damage and team buffs on demand. Free "Tough" is no joke.

Closest thing you're going to get to "flavor" is 3+ thief in a multiclass for a second bonus action. Everything else ultimately plays like a martial, or a caster depending lol.

2 bonus actions brings the "silly" in real quick.

It's pretty hard to make a more "interesting" martial than 3/4 thief, 6 open hand monk, 2/3 fighter. Can take it dex, or tavern brawler str(start 1 fighter first with that route)

Alternative is 3 barb(Berserker) over fighter if you want rage over action surge.

If you want an "archmage" type just toss 1 wizard into any pure caster and toss on the intellect headband. Now you know nearly every spell in the game.

I'm weirdly committed to Sorcerers. Have been since 3rd edition.

Nevermind I'm terrible at playing them because Sorcs cast from Charisma. I just don't like the preparation that Wizards have to do.

And I've never touched Warlocks. Probably never will. I don't go in for Faustian pacts... which is also why I don't tend to play Clerics nor Paladins either. No Gods, No Masters.

Oath of Devotion + high CHA + Sacred Weapon + Great Weapon Master

Sacred Weapon add CHA modifier to attack rolls for 10 turns (short rest)

Recently did Rogue with 1 dip of Sorc for all the utility spells / cantrips and free Mage Armor. Soloed most of act 2 with it. Was crazy strong and insanely mobile, with the jumps and feather fall, etc. Minor Illusion allowed me to herd enemies where I wanted, while hiding in combat.

I personally like Kunfu-fighting… I have a warm spot for Jackie Chan Drunker master movies ;)

But this is very personal thing. Some like wizards, some like rogues… What is your favorite ”fantasy” hero? Try to emulate that!

… pity that there is not drunker master sub class, but way of open hand with drunkard medallion and … yeah… i can do it!

I don't know about underrated, Paladin has been considered one of the best classes in 5e for a long time.

Honestly Cleric for me has been extremely fun and rewarding with some dialogue options for the specific god that you choose

Wizard don't really have any preparation, you just choose you favorite spells once and thats it, plays exactly like a sorcerer. Main difference is mainly about which subclass you pick for wizard vs sorc meta magic. My opinion is that sorcerer is better early on and wizard late game due to some items and level 10 wizard feat overlapping and doing stupid amount of dmg overshadowing meta magic imo.

Did you abuse the stacking extra attack bug from Warlock 5? I am afraid it might get patched out during my campaign, so I am looking at Paladin/Warlock multi-class builds that do not use it.

My usual to go combo is 2 sorc -> 2 tempest cleric -> 1 wiz -> rest sorc
Sorc 9 for charisma main and i love mages
Temp Cleric 2 for heavy/medium armors, shield before any decent dual wield staff and wrath.
(Mini spoilers?)
Wizard with int crown from early act 1 ogres for 4 prepare spell slots for extra utility for whatever you want.
