'''1. 6 Warlock + 6 Bard:''' A little bit more restrictive, the Extra Attack that '''College of Swords''' Bards gain synergizes with the extra attack from '''Deepened Pact''' the same way that Paladin does, but comes a level later, making this build less flexible.  However, the trade-off here is that we are not restricted to melee weapons, and can use Slashing Flourish to attack two targets with one attack, and we can still attack three times per action.  This effectively gives us more attacks in group encounters when compared to the Paladin version of this build, and does scale better with on-hit, additive bonuses to our damage, but makes us less effective in single-target encounters.
