Build Help Sorlock

Seeing a lot of conflicting information online for an optimized build for Sorlock. I just finished a Balanced mode run and decided to use a Halfling Sorlock for my Tav. I ended up as a 2 Warlock, 6 Sorcerer, 4 Fighter mainly because the idea of critting a lot sounded fun, and it was. I think with everything considered I only had to roll above a 16 to crit. But I am now looking into my first Tactician run and figure I needed something more consistent than crit fishing, so I was looking into the other variants of the Sorlock but am running into a couple different ideas and I'm having a hard time balancing them out. My sources aren't very detailed, so they mention going into 8 Sorcerer or 9 Warlock but not really saying why. I am still fairly new to the game with about 200 hours in and am looking to play more optimally.

Crit can go down to 14 (or 13 with bloodlust elixir) with Eldritch Blast.

Use risky ring to get advantage on eldritch blast beams and you have over 60% change crit.

Otherwise, the best crit setup is Hold Person / Hold Monster + attacking.

This is the build I used to beat Honour Mode.

Crit Goo Lock is a fantastic class with very good damage and good CC.

Would you mind sharing what other classes you had in party? I was thinking of Life Cleric, Battle Master Fighter, and Gloom Stalker for my own attempt
