I can't speak for everyone, but I really like the idea of a Gish using magic to make their weapon attacks more accurate. We have cantrips that make melee attacks more powerful, but if you want more accuracy you need to use a leveled spell.
My DM's argument was past tier one, virtually no one would use a cantrip that only allowed for one attack unless it had a rider for damage like BB or GFB. The thread accurately pointed out that he overcompensate by changing the math on crit chance, but I still like the concept of a cantrip that makes one weapon attack more accurate.
