Hey Hivemind.

I've got a quite multiclassed lv 12 spellcaster at the moment. I was wondering about what everyone thinks about never getting beyond 5th lv spells in a pure spellcaster build.
I'll end up with a lv9 slot at lv 20 and deal fantastic damage as it is. More so im wondering how important are those higher lv spells late game.

10 Lore Bard

5 Divine Soul Sorcerer

3 Hexblade Pact Warlock

2 Divination Wizard
(+5 Cha, +3 Int)

thanks in advance

Personally the higher level spells are what makes the grind so worth it. And the end-level Wizard features, particularly 18th level, are seriously sweet. Infinite Shield and Misty Step? Yes please. And who in their right mind passes up casting a Wish everyday?

If a Sorc or Wizard I don't multiclass. The spells and features are sweet, as is the second 7th level spell slot. And in your build you lose out on an ASI/Feat unless you homebrew things.

Then again, I don't play "just for combat" characters. Dealing most damage is one of the least of my concerns on character building.
