[QUOTE="Ganders, post: 4326868, member: 37815"] "A fighter will make far, far, far more melee basic attacks in their career than a wizard AND a warlock put together." Maybe not. A fighter does get quite a few basic attacks against enemies he's marked, I admit. But he'll use at-wills whenever possible, instead of basic attacks. A warlock has no at-will melee, so might use his basic attack fairly often. My level 14 dwarven warlock with 20 str and 22 con in scale armor with a +3 warhammer will do 2d6+6 on a miss, and d10+2d6+5+2+3 on a hit against a cursed foe, thanks to Hammer Rhythm (+4 more with these bracers). I expect he'll be making a LOT of basic attacks, instead of at-wills -- that's just plain better than Eldritch Blast. The warlord might even give extra attacks to him instead of the fighter. "warlocks with high str/con" may be a narrow niche, but it is a niche. [/QUOTE]
