I will be playing a 1st level dwarven warlock in a party of : Rogue, Ranged Ranger, Paladin, Fighter and Wizard. I have a 20 Con and 14 int and I have gone the infernal route. I am looking for a little feedback from people who have experienced play with the first few levels of warlock.
Judging from the book, I have a choice of either a single-target high damage daily with Flames of Phlegethos or more general utility with Armor of Agathys. I notice that there isn't a daily that will come up again with equivalent damage until 9th level. Is it generally better advised to go all-out max damage of flames, or the protective, sure-thing-if-things-are-rough ability of armor of agathys ?
Do you think armor's element of crowd control is somewhat diminished by the future acquisitions of Fiery Bolt, Avernian Eruption and Howl of Doom ?
As a Dwarf, I have 32 Starting Hitpoints and plan on trying to keep combat as ranged as possible, but know that critters like to get close as often as possible.
Bear in mind that I will probably not retrain - retraining at will was one thing most of our group did not like, and more than likely not be using.
Any insight you guys might lend would be great.
