what are good spell or skill combinations you use in combat (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So I'm familiar with DOS: EE and the element mechanics of combat, but I'm not sure if that applies to DnD 5e.

But last night I threw a fireball cantrip at a group of goblins standing in grease, and what do you know but the whole gang go up in flames!

Does anyone know of other great spell or skill combinations you can use, especially to deal with groups?

Also what are your go-to combat setups?

I'm currently running a Druid, Cleric, Warlock, Fighter so if you can think of combinations from those classes that would be great too.

I got a pouch on my spellcaster, it contains scrolls of every kind I've found. I also got a pouch on my main ranged, it contains a few of each arrow type. I add the pouch to the hotbar to have them easily open midcombat. And a third one for throwables. Whenever I switch party members, which I often do, i only have to drag over one pouch and re-hotbar it. That way I have always available every kind of elemental combination whenever I need. Which I promptly forget and end up fighting mostly with swords.

But its darn useful when I get a fight I cant win with swords. A cheap but fun one is create water over a big area, one ice arrow, and a rogue with anti-slip boots.

Ah nice the old DOS trick with hotbar bags works here too then!
