The idea behind this build.is to utilize the swift retribution feature of the Illrigger class to make 2 reactions each round and maximize strikes from the dark.
Level 6- 17: warlock 1-12, pact of the blade (switch to bravado combat mastery). Invocations(Level 2: Agonizing blast and Repelling blast on either vengeful blade or booming blade, level 5: lessons of the first ones (tough) and lessons of the first ones (shadowmoor hexer), level 7: devil's sight, level 9: life drinker, level 12: visions of distant realms. Feats: level 9: warcaster, +1 charisma, level 13: elven accuracy, +1 charisma, level 17: sentinel, +1 dexterity. Necessary spells: Vengeful blade, booming blade, true strike, armor of agathys, hex, shadow of moil.
The idea is to hit 3 times with a blade cantrip with triple advantage with at least 1 marked enemy nearby. The goal is to generate reaction attacks while dealing retributive damage via armor of agathys and either hex (shadowmoor hexer) or shadow of moil.
Has the potential to deal tons of damage if able to generate consistent and reliable OAs.
Oh I'm not playing this just making builds for fun. I'm mostly a DM. I don't think this is very underpowered though. The AC boosts make survivability pretty easy. The damage output isn't huge but if you're smart with your seals I see this working out pretty well even though this is arguably the weakest of the 3 illrigger subclasses in the 2014 version. https://routerlogin.uno/

Look up Reflector shield. If you take most elemental damage types, you can use a reaction to deal the full damage back.
