My DM is nice enough to let me take my bonus action before the attack, though I mainly do it because I've got 2 rogues in the group and "prone" a) gives my allied rogue advantage and b) gives the Bad Guy disadvantage on the opportunity attack (in some cases my ally would rather use Cunning Action for Dash to get further out of retaliation range)   Warlock Pact of the Chain will get you an invisible assistant who can perform the "Help" action.
