[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 7276637, member: 6786252"] You know, I wouldn't even mind if there was an all encompassing focus on Eldritch Blast. But if they did, they should have gone full on 3e with it- I enjoyed swapping out shapes and essences. Or made some Invocations that manipulated Hex a lot sooner. Playing a curse specialist would have been pretty neat too. No, the problem is definitely not that. Its the fact that, for most of the game, you only have two spell slots per rest; most games don't make it past level 11. And when you can't promise a recharge even every two battles, you're going to be relying on your at-wills a lot. If your party's relying on you for spells like Banishment or Fireball too? That's even a stronger restriction on when you can actually use said spell slots for when those situations come up. In some games where you get lots of magic items, its possible to rely on those instead, but at that point? You're patching flaws in the class so you can act like a sorcerer or wizard. And that's not fun for me. [/QUOTE]
