Shocking Grasp Tips & Builds

• In the SRD 5.1 Ruleset Shocking Grasp has an advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of metal. In Solasta the attack is made without advantage.
• Shocking Grasp is a good option if the caster is within the melee range of an opponent and wants to escape. On a hit, the target takes damage and can not use reactions like an attack of opportunity. So the caster can move away safely. However, there is the possibility to not hit the target, waste your action, and risking an attack of opportunity. Taking the disengage action instead is a guaranteed way to move away safely.
