D&D General Frustating Misunderstandings About Warlocks

[Mind of tempest]

I wonder if the misunderstanding about the Warlock invocation boost being limited to Eldrtich Blast is because the Beyond character generator is mentioning the power its name, and I haven't figured out yet how to change it to a different one.

would seem likely as pen top paper character building is far slower than what being a youtube person will allow assuming a small scale operation

I think True Strike at least is on par with EB for DPR. And I know I’m in the minority here, but since 2014 I’ve felt that Eldritch Blast + Hex spam DPR is an aggressively mid way to build a warlock. Like, it works fine, it keeps up with the Joneses. But if you’re playing a casting class for the DPR, you’re leaving a lot of value on the table. Control spells are almost always more efficient. Mind Spike is the true GOAT cantrip.

Agree completely. EB is the "I hit it with my sword" option. It's fine, but uninteresting and isn't likely to change the dynamic of the battle or do much to combine with what the other PCs are doing.
