[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9808754, member: 6704184"] No, it's flat out incorrect. No pedantry required. He claims that the Warlock doesn't get high level spells. That is false. It's false in spirit, in specifics, however you slice it. It's weird to me, but yeah, it seems like folks just...don't actually read the new rules completely, and just assume that anything they didn't just read before sharing their opinion is the same as before? idk how else you get a take that the 2024 Warlock has effectively just one cantrip because it's all about EB forever always, with no recognition that the Blast invocations can be used with any warlock cantrip... Treantmonk is, IMO, absolutely unhelpfully and sometimes counterproductively bad at balance and optimization analysis. He values some stuff as if analysing a different edition of DND entirely, and other stuff is just wacky or completely based on equations that don't reflect reality at the table. I genuinely cannot stand his takes, but still I'd rather play his videos on a loop all day than watch a single youtube short from dndshorts. Dungeon Dudes are good, though. Most of the time Pointy Hat is really on the ball, though, which makes this video really frustrating. Not the first time I have disagreed with him, but definitely the first time I've been actively annoyed by him, because it's the first time he has made these kinds of factual errors. [/QUOTE]
