[QUOTE="amusingsn, post: 4295506, member: 66766"] I used Armor of Agathys on my infernal warlock tonight! We were fighting a couple of swarms (among other enemies) and I didn't have any area of effect attacks to mess with them. All my ranged attacks would only do half damage. So I activated my armor of agathys and moved in and started cursing targets. I ground through a ton of temporary hp, but ended the combat without needing any external healing. I'm not sure how we would have handled drake swarms normally but between my high fortitude defense to resist being knocked over and my ability to do significant non-melee non-ranged damage to everything around me, things worked out pretty well. I needed less healing than the Fighter (the fighter got 2 inspiring words and 1 healing word, and still ended up going down) and I did a heck of a lot more damage. Moreover, being in melee with your ranged attacks aren't that bad. If you're an infernal warlock, you've got Hellish Rebuke, so if you're fighting enemies who like taking their OAs on you, you can make them regret it (and up your damage). You've probably got a steady stream of temporary hp to soak up a chunk of whatever damage they send your way, as well as good hp and healing surges to start with (thanks to your ridiculous Con score). And you should probably have a defender or two in there marking up targets and making them pay even more for attacking you (and making their attacks miss more often). Go strikers! [/QUOTE]
