Booming blade has a better damage type but is single target and relies on enemy movement for additional damage. Green flame blade has a worse damage type and splits damage but it's more up to you whether the extra damage occurs or not. if you plan on sitting in the thick of combat GFB can be better if you plan on more skirmish style dip in and ...
The green-flame blade cantrip was updated when it was reprinted in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (p. 107), and the version in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide (p. 143) received errata to match. The relevant line of the green-flame blade spell description now reads:
The Green-Flame Blade cantrip (SCAG, p. 142) appears to have a single target, and then some damage "leaps" onto a creature 5 feet away. The other creature is never referred to as the target, or even "a target". Can the Green-Flame Blade cantrip be cast as a reaction using the War Caster feat? I'm pretty sure this is solid from the RAW perspective.
I'm thinking of a concept of a spellcaster that fight in melee from the moment I re-read the "blade" cantrips (green-flame blade and booming blade), and realized that they can deal a lot of damage. Long story short, I re-read the Assassin subclass, and was thinking about how they interact with critical hits.
The range of Green Flame Blade is 5 ft, and requires the caster to make an attack roll with your weapon, so even though the range of your weapon is 10 ft, the spell's restriction still applies. BUT, read the first bullet of the Spell Sniper feat:
First the cantrip with warcaster allows you to attack. The extra attack ability doesn’t say you get and additional attack. The text in the book says. You can attack twice, instead of once. Wording is important. With flame blade on your bonus action you cast flame blade and attack action with a flaming blade.
The spell, green-flame blade, does not produce some kind of new weapon you could possibly use twice; it simply adds a rider to the attack you make as part of the spell that confers an extra effect on a hit. The second attack you might make with Horde Breaker is not part of the spell and doesn't confer any ability to Cast a Spell a second time ...
I am aware from the Sage Advice that potent spellcasting adds damage to both the first and second enemy when using green-flame blade. What I want to clarify is that this means that the second enemy takes my Wisdom modifier (I am playing an Arcana cleric) twice?
Round two; try to hit target with longsword casting green flame blade, and expending a level 3 spell slot for divine smite, then follow up with a second attack using my 2nd lvl 3 level spell slot for a 2nd divine smite, but with my bonus action stop concentrating on haste, and cast thunderous smite as a bonus action, landing the hit for a total ...
OPTION A: You hit Orci (make damage, +whatever your attack makes) The magic green fire of the mighty green blade enlightens the poor Orci with incredible hurting flames - flames from hell - and jumps (without hurting Orci) to Morci. Morci gets damage in height of your spellcasting modifier (6.) At higher Levels you would roll a +dX additionally ...
