The Hexblade is king—anyone who's been playing D&D since 2017 knows this, though Baldur's Gate 3 players were only introduced to the Warlock subclass in Patch 8. D&D 2024's now taking steps to dethrone it, as seen in June's Unearthed Arcana rules—free playtests released to the public for balance passes.
For the uninitiated, the Hexblade is an infamous multiclass dip in D&D's 2014 ruleset for a list of reasons. Multiclassing in D&D requires you to level sequentially through your other classes—postponing your main classes' features—which makes frontloaded classes super important. And boy howdy, was the Hexblade top-heavy.
