*Highly recommend to take 6 levels of Bard, at bare minimum, for the Extra Attack. There's ''some'' niche for a 4-6 College of Lore Bard + 6-8 Sorcerer, just because of '''Cutting Words''', but that is much more of a pure support build, and doesn't really utilize weapon attacks at all. | *Highly recommend to take 6 levels of Bard, at bare minimum, for the Extra Attack.

'''6 Bard + 4-5 Rogue + 1-2 Wizard:''' A better version of Arcane Trickster, in my opinion, uses Charisma as it's Spellcasting Modifier, and only uses Wizard spells for utility. Compared to the version of this build listed earlier, this build will have more spell slots and more uses of Bardic Inspiration. You can actually skip Arcane Trickster entirely for ''Thief'' or ''Assassin,'' depending on your preferences. I like this build because it makes you very tanky while still being able to deal good damage. Like Eldritch Knight, it's primarily a striker class that uses spells for utility rather than damage. | |||
''' | *'''Defensive Flourish''' + '''Shield''' gives you 9 bonus Armor Class in a single turn. | ||
*The main advantage of pulling from the Wizard spell list is the ability to learn spells from scrolls. Plus Misty Step for crazy mobility. | |||
*'''Thief''' is probably still the best Rogue subclass for this build, as usual. A build that improves Arcane Trickster by not picking Arcane Trickster at all. | |||
12 levels of Paladin or Pact of the Blade Warlock. Very simple, but these are ''technically'' Gish in the sense that they have spells and have blades. | 12 levels of Paladin or Pact of the Blade Warlock.
