I'd say stocking up on anti-giant extra damage will be key. Those guys can take a lot of pounding.
I disagree. Warlocks may be strikers in 4E, but they're controllers in 3E. My once per day alpha strike is only 55 damage to a single target. My average damage is only 18.5. I'd do better spreading eldritch essences around to multiple targets. Frightful chain makes all the giants we fight take a -2 penalty to pretty much every d20 roll - attacks, saves, and skill/ability checks. Then later on there's black tentacles at will, wall of fire at will, wall of force at will, level draining blasts, etc. Admittedly, vitriolic blast will be a huge damage upgrade - 36 average on the primary target and 25 average on the secondary targets over the span of 3 rounds for a vitriolic chain at level 11 - but at that point we'll be facing things with 150+ hp.Shayuri said:Let the mage handle groups. Warlocks are more powerful when focusing on single targets, and getting the "main" invocations...
