So another idea for a gishy build. EK + Celestial Patron warlock. The basic goal is to be tanky as hell. Through level ten or so, here's what we end up with:
EK:
Shield /Absorb Elements
Level 2 defensive spell(s) (blur makes the most sense)
Warmagic proccing off of eldritch blast or the SCAG cantrips for offense
Plate armor, Shield, Longsword
Celestial Patron:
Healing Light (a pool of D6's for healing, on bonus action)
Fiendish VigorPHB111 - You can cast false life on yourself at will as a 1st-level spell, without expending a spell slot or material components.
Pact of chain for maximized healing
Flaming Sphere/cloud of daggers for damage output while using actions for other things.
Other invocations as desired.
Feats/ASI's
Heavy Armor Mastery. This is gold for tanking in Tier 1.
