There is no legit reason to be upset the Warlock gets a third attack.  Sure, Spirit Shroud adds some decent damage. But it’s a Concentration Spell that uses one of their only two spell slots.  If they’re going to use that, they can’t use it to do other things, like Dimension Door out or cast Fireball.  Or summon an ally to help with Action Economy.  Or any number of other things. It means they’re going to be on the front line with fewer HP, likely less AC, and no Blur spell to help with defense.  It means that if they’re going to be effective on the front lines, they need to use most of their class features to make it so. Grabbing Moderately Armored for Medium Armor and Shields (or that new starter feat).  Fiend for Dark Ones Own Luck for the temp HP.  Investing in Con, and in the Blade Invocations.  Taking spells that shore up combat weaknesses.  Essentially all things a Fighter just gets.  You could say “well then just play a fighter.”  But I don’t WANT to play a fighter in this case.  In this case, I don’t wanna play the guy who is naturally gifted and through discipline and hard work became the best of the best. I wanna play the weak outcast who was told he would never amount to anything until a Fiend came to him offering to make him the greatest warrior the world had ever seen, so long as he provides service.  I don’t know, I’ve just always loved the idea of the sword wielding warlock.</blockquote>
