[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9603001, member: 7030563"] It is not the attacks at high level, it is the actions it does on its own, without the Warlock using any actions at all. Doing Hex-EB/Scorching Ray AND another action and bonus action by your familiar is going to be better than Hex-EB/Scorching Ray and no other action. Things like administering healing to other party members with potions (the Warlock takes no action for this and the familiar takes a bonus action), using any of the adventuring gear with a Utilize action (again something the Warlock uses no action for) and in most campaigns at the level where the Familiar attacks are less effective it is taking the magic action and using magic items with the Warlock taking no action at all. The Warlock can Hex-EB/Scorching Ray AND the familiar can take a bonus action and action other than the attack action every single round. I get it that you don't have magic items in many of your campaigns, but a lot of campaigns do and most of those magic item are usable by your familiar with no action taken by the Warlock, and even in the rare campaign where there are no magic items there is still a bunch of adventuring gear the familiar can use.
