Yeah, technically casting spells that aren’t max level and don’t scale well with upcasting is inefficient. But in actual practice, that doesn’t tend to matter. Casting the spell that’s useful now is generally better than holding on to your spell slot in the hopes that a spell that scales better with level will be useful later. Especially since you can get your spell slots back so easily as a Warlock.What’s stopping you from doing that with a wizard or sorcerer? Especially now that the arcane spells are going to be shared across all the mage classes. Picking spooky spells for your wizard shouldn’t be difficult.Edit to add: And besides, "a sniper with occasional grenades" is a good thing to give people the option to play. This is why people keep saying this warlock looks like it was designed for people who don't like warlocks. If you want to play a mage that isn't "a sniper with occasional grenades," you have at least five and arguably seven other classes that can do that. Eight if you also count the Artificer. Ten if you count the 1/3 casting fighter and rogue subclasses. Surely, one of those can satisfy your desire for a spooky Vancian caster, and let us "sniper with occasional grenades" lovers enjoy our one non-Vancian mage.</blockquote>
