[QUOTE="Dandu, post: 5177541, member: 85158"] Summon Elemental and Minor Shapechange are nice. The ones that deal damage are pretty meh though. Damage wise, a raging barbarian or well built archer exceeds the amount of damage you can put out with Hellfire Warlock on a good day, assuming you can use the Hellfire Blast constantly and have 13d6 blast total. Now, you do shoot ahead if you can use Eldritch Glaive, but there's a simple counter to that: have the monsters move around so the warlock doesn't get full attacks. A sorcerer with Scorching Ray deals a total of 12d6 damage at level 12, which is about the same as your Hellfire damage. Or cast Disintegrate, which deals 24d6 damage on a failed save. Or cast Flesh to Stone/Baleful Polymorph/Evard's Black Tentacles and make them just die/turn into dinner/hentai fodder. [/QUOTE]
