What’s your favourite bladelock build?

I’ve always liked a good sword swinging warlock but I never can come up with a fun design for one that isn’t just ‘walk up and hit it’ so I’m wondering what my patron loving nerd friends use for there characters.

Ps. Sorry if I’ve made any spelling/grammar mistakes.

I have given up on trying to do this build.  If you walk up and swing, something will swing back and slice you in half.  If you M/C or do something else to counter, you fall behind on the magic part.

I have found  that it is nicer to just either do a mage or do a melee and not combine the two.
