D&D (2024) Implied Improvement: Eldritch Blast

[Dausuul]

I wonder if they plan on going back to the 3.5 Warlock that had a damage progression akin to the Rogue's Sneak Attack? It was only 1 bolt, though, rather than 1-4 bolts depending on level.

I'd assume it will have pretty much the same mechanics as the cantrip (probably with Agonizing Blast built in), except that it will scale by warlock level instead of character level, thus eliminating a whole category of multiclass shenanigans.

We had a group that had two warlocks and a monk with a feat so that 3 characters were spamming eldritch blast. It became very boring. I think I approve of making the blast a class feature but at the same time, I switched to firebolt just to mix it up, and being unable to boost anything other than eldritch bolt with invocations was also disappointing.
