I'm trying to figure out the best way to level up my character to be as optimized as possible. He is currently a Glasya Tiefling 5 Rogue/3 Warlock and has a stat spread of 9/20/19/14/15/20. Other features are Crossbow Expert, Invocations are Agonizing Blast and Devil's Sight, and Boon is Pact of the Blade. We are currently transitioning between games since our last DM didn't work out very well and we are being allowed to change things before we officially start next week. Any help is appreciated ^.^
Not much to say if you're not specific about your goals. Optimized for what, exactly?
Melee damage? Not much to do aside from combining booming blade with sneak attack combined with the swashbuckler's mobile-esque ability. Ranged damaged with the crossbow? You'll want to take improved pact weapon invocation and take sharp shooter feat.
Optimized as a spy/face? Take skill expert feat for deception or persuasion expertise, and take the invocation mask of many faces. Maybe take the feat Actor down the line.
If you're melee, you don't really need pact of the blade since a finesse weapon like a rapier works fine off CHA alone with just hex warrior feature. In that case, maybe optimization looks more like not having pact of the blade, and maybe it'd be better to take pact of the chain for a familiar to act as the ultimate infiltrator.

What're you wanting to achieve?
A bit confused...what are you wanting to optimize? Damage/combat?
Do you attack with a crossbow or did you get it just for when enemies are within 5 ft of you to attack with Agonizing Blast?
I have an Eldritch Swashbuckler / Pirate. Her 'spells' are 'shot' through an arcane focus shaped like a gun.
Willing to share with the below link. Let me know if this helps. (Note: Used in AL games)
