I have my lvl3,warlock of the great old one, pact of the talisman and I´m having a blast playing it, but my party lacks of area damage, and I´m exploring a way to compensate that. All of the WotC content and any multiclass option is allowed. Any suggestion?
Shatter is an option, thunderstep is an interesting one. There might be a few others but that is mostly it tbh. You have AOE spells like hypnotic pattern but they don't do damage
AoE damage isn't really the strength of the Warlock. Shatter at 2nd, Hunger of Hadar at 3rd, Sickening Radiance at 4th, Synaptic Static at 5th. The pickings are kind of slim.
Personally for third level I am a big fan of hypnotic pattern.
Fiend or efreeti genie get fireball. Though, honestly speaking, you're better off with dao since you get spike growth.hypnotic pattern is also better most of the time. You can either damage some of them, or you can hypnotic and take out several targets while you deal with the non charmed ones
Yeah, with your build it won't lend itself to many AoE options. I am playing a Fiend Chainlock for similar reasons (we had no party rogue and needed AoE when we started at level 1). Options like Burning Hands, Fireball, and others lend more to that. Tomelocks are great utility, but that's the tradeoff.
My favourite is sickening radiance it's only at lvl 7, but it's a game changer. It has become a standard pick on every caster I play that has access to it.

I know, at the beggining I wanted to go for a stealthy caster at distance, but we are playing a free version of TOA and it´s proving difficult to fight ords of enemies even when they are just simpletons, because all of us do damage to one maybe two targets per turn

I would switch from GOO to Efreeti Genie patron to get the AOE attacks.
You can say "He's on fire" every time you blast something.
I suppose with a GOO you could hit someone and blast their mind and make them think they are on fire. You could even say “you’re on fire” and as far as everyone knows he isn’t on fire. But in his mind oh boy it’s toasty

@Freizeneggar, I'm currently playing a level 10 Warlock (The Fathomless) and I'd like to recommend you these level 3 spells with AoE option:
Hunger of Hadar
