Both of them are optimal for different situations, and it is up to both the player and the DM to make sure that those options are utilitzed to their fullest. Regardless, those options are there, which cannot be said for 3rd edition.Even if a player chose to only use eldritch blast, at least he has the option to use an ability that is part and parcel to his class every time, as opposed to "Well, I've used my 3 spells for the day so now I'm stuck using my sling" or even worse "Well, I only have 3 spells today, I can't afford to use any of them on the first fight in the morning!"</blockquote>
