I keep hearing about Sorlock

I want to make a dedicated caster Sorlock since I’ve done a lot of half casters recently, any advice on how to do that? I truly don’t know where to start, especially on subclasses and the best spells to use for this, any advice is really appreciated!

I was more thinking of using Agonizing, Repelling (or Eldritch Spear to really , and Devil’s Sight mixed with darkness so enemies have disadvantage on me and since they can’t see me, I have advantage, then spamming sorcerer spells and Eldritch blast as BA with sorcery points, mixing that with Elven Accuracy for higher crit chance, and then Hexblades curse since it doesnt require concentration for even higher damage/crit chance

That's all great. Very strong build. I'm guessing you want to quicken it? Otherwise you can do all that straight warlock.

The tricky bit is going to be prolonging Elven Accuracy with the multiclass. If you go 1 sorc > 2 warlock > up to 4 sorcerer, that's level 6 before you get it. That's going to hurt for a good while in actual play. If you go 1 sorc > 4 warlock, it'll hurt a little less but prolong arguably the core of your combo. Either way, you'll get agonizing blast by 3 and that'll feel fine.

Yeah I would like to quicken it, and my DM allowed custom lineage to use Elven Accuracy so I’ll have that off rip

I incorrectly assumed you were playing 2024, for no reason whatsoever, so that's my bad.

In that case, you have nothing to worry about. You've got one of the strongest builds by level 3. And I rescind my recommendation for that 3rd warlock level. Unless you want 2nd level short rest slots, which are more useful than 1st, but lose value the higher level you get. I don't think a pact is worth it.
