2024 GOOlock Combat/Multiclass Question

Hey hey! I’m hopping into character creation next week and have this idea for goolock character, but need help seeing how to make it viable in combat.

Species: Human (for story reasons); taking Magic Initiate Wizard for shield, booming blade, and another cantrip.

Class: I want to start fighter for proficiencies and weapon masteries and fighting style (dueling, as i plan on using a rapier). Then I’ll advance warlock at least until I get extra attack at character level 6, then may dip back into fighter for action surge.

I know typically fiend warlock is preferential for a combat-oriented warlock, but the 2024 goolock makes so much sense for the campaign we’re playing and idea i have for my character. I do plan on using its subclass features heavily during moments of role play, but i also want to make sure it’s viable in combat without becoming an eldritch blast machine.

Has anyone else built a melee-centered goolock? Or are there any tips/other species/multiclasses/eldritch invocations worth considering? Any help would be appreciated!
