If he hits. If. Meaning, he has to move up to a foe, defeat any kind of special powers it might protect itself with, and hit it's AC (likely it's highest defense). A Warlock can safely do this from ~10 squares away (some infernal powers have less range, but typically the monster has to come to you) and warlock powers can be against Non-AC defenses, of which a monster likely has one achillies heel. The warlock is, in addtion to comperable damage, adding in a warlock's curse for added damage beyond what each power lists, AND many powers (fey especially) cause all sorts of nightmares for their foes. (Conditions, restrictions on actions, forced movement, etc) The fighter can really dish out the damage, but the warlock has a bit of an easier time doing it, and is still potent even if dishing out damage won't take out the foe. (And won't be leaving himself right in the foe's reach after attacking)</blockquote>
