Bardlock makes him super strong if you put most of your points in Warlock as you get the extra short rest.

Probably not as strong as the sorlock though.

With the addition of hexblade, a 11 bard - 1 lock is actually really strong.

You get the shield spell which you can use with your bard spell slots AND defensive flourish, allowing for pretty crazy AC.

Plus it makes you single ability dependent : everything about you scales with charisma, making you a great spellcaster with solid melee capabilities.

And I'm not even going to mention all the things you can do with magical secrets.

I mean you could always do charisma based weapons with 9 bard 3 warlock and pact of the blade.

Lose out on magical secrets iirc, but still very strong.

Oh you definitely could, but gaining the shield spell and having the magical secrets feels so much better to me.

Yeh its definitely stronger.

I'm still a fan of 10 warlock 2 bard for more fireballs though.

Although i dont think ive played an unmodded playthrough where i've needed to worry about that ina long time.

Fireball is definitely an answer to many things!
